I am now starting my round up of restaurants where I have eaten BEFORE I started my blog and the best place to start must be with Restaurant Telero. Telero has just recently been awarded a Certificate of Excellence by Tripadvisor and ranks the number one restaurant in Gandia.
My partner and I first went there with our friends from Villa Florencia and have been back another four times since - which is quite a lot in one year when there are so many other places to eat. My favourite dish at Telero is the Vieira Telero - Scallop Telero, scallop served in its shell with ginger and a garlic gratin. It is just sublime, full of flavour but the scallop is not overshadowed by the flavours.
I have had fish, the excellent Iberican Pork and a Fillet Steak and each main course has been extremely well executed, cooked to everyone's liking. We have been as a couple and with friends and the friendly atmosphere and low key ambience is suitable for either. I have not been over this summer but I understand they have some outside seating as well. Telero is well situated for that as it is up a very quiet street with a open area where there are another couple of bars, so there is always a low buzz.
Telero is not hard to find but if you don't know its there you could easily miss this hidden gem as it is tucked away around a quiet corner off Gandia's paseo. The restaurant is owned by a husband and wife team and the owners are friendly and welcoming, solicitous but not intrusive.
Telero is expensive by Spanish standards - but not any more so than other restaurants in Gandia and by British standards is extremely good value. A meal for two with wine and water is around €85.
If you are ever in Gandia, leaving without going to eat in Telero, is an opportunity wasted!
