Going out

Bistros in valencia

Not a term so often used by Spaniards, bistros can nevertheless be found in Valencia, The form of eatery stems from Paris, where they were first brought to life.

Some claim the word stems from the post-Napoleonic war period. Russian troops occupied the city and often called out bistro, bistro to waiters meaning quick, quick.

Others believe that the name bistro originates from the phenomenon of private kitchens in basement flats. These were a popular Parisian inner city alternative to eat out.

Today bistros in Valencia naturally offer the same chilled dining experience as elsewhere. And eating in a relaxed atmosphere that is a little less quick than tapas bars.
