Cinnamon is a hidden gem of a restaurant in Valencia, where one can dine like the locals, and enjoy some delicious food.

If you want to try a good horchata (a cold drink made from tiger nuts and the most traditional drink in Valencia), this is the best place to go. Daniel has managed to stand out due to the excellent quality of its horchata, made with traditional methods. The staff are friendly and the place itself is large and comfy, so it's one of the most visited places both by locals and foreigners searching for something authentic. It's an experience worth living and repeating.
