Excellent, authentic Valencian cuisine, very cheap and relatively unknown to tourists. They have a set menu which is excellent. You must make reservations, it is always crowded and to capacity. Only open for lunch and not on Sunday. Definitely worth the effort, right next to the Cabañal Market.

La Fabrica has recently become a very trendy and popular spot right next to the beach, but does not lose the "cool" character of the neighborhood. The space is an old ice factory and on any given day/night is live music, flea markets, food trucks and any and everything else. Also very cheap for beer, wine, hanging out.

Famous rice growing area of Valencia. This is a lovely day trip, most people take a boat tour and you have a guide who tells you the history of the region and about the rice cultivation. Afterwards, a paella in the town.
