things we eat and drink, at home and out and about
I went to so many great restaurants and made such great food on this month (if I say so myself š)
And yes, it can’t get any more belated than conflating the entire collection of weekly posts in a monthly one. But I’m embracing it!

Welp, this is a really late “this week” post, but I didn’t have access to a computer on Sunday and I was also really busy holidaying and eating out, as you’ll see in a second š

We have queued at Russafaās market, got some cool produce, asked for WHOāS LAST? and then had an excellent flat white and cinnamon roll at Blackbird.
They have a big glass wall and you can see how theyāre busy preparing more pastries on the kitchen.
It didnāt seem too promising but the toast with plenty of olive oil, and the freshly squeezed SWEET orange juice redeemed it!
The coffee was quite average, which is why it doesnāt even get to be in the picture š
I had the chance to visit La Manera, which I eyed on a former trip to Valencia but didnāt have time to stop at, and it just didnāt disappoint! First I got the cutest flat white Iāve ever been served, then a really yummy granola (I really liked the mint leaves-it was a surprisingly good flavour pairing) š
I will say the tablespoon they brought was way too big to eat without spilling everything out though, so I ended up using the coffee spoon.
Later we visited La Pilareta. We had been there almost a year ago, but mussels werenāt available as it wasnāt the right season. This time we were lucky and we could FINALLY have our Valencian mussels! (Plus other delicacies)
Mussels are called clotxines in Valencian, and thatās why the bar is called La casa de les clotxines, ie āthe house of musselsā.
The batter in these calamari was nicely thin, yum!
