AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food
Casa Carmela’s paella con bogavante earns raves for its succulent lobster and perfectly toasted rice, delivering a warm, celebratory taste of the Mediterranean. The overall vibe is one of generous, soulful cooking that feels like a family feast.
“This paella with lobster is gorgeous to look at. The rice is very fine and thin, not 2 cm thick, which allows it to scorch on the bottom of the pan and give that amazing flavour. The fish quality is exceptional. I love scraping the edges of the pan to get the burnt, crusty grains. It's the most beautiful thing I've seen since we arrived in Valencia.”

Casa Carmela is a classic spot in Valencia that some call touristy, but the paella here rocks — we loved both the lobster paella and the traditional Valencian one.

Paella Valenciana Tradicional
This traditional Valencian paella has chicken, rabbit, duck, snails, and vegetables. The rice is crazy — between the grease and the crust it's incredibly addictive. You could eat it by the bucketful. The ingredients are top quality, but the rice cooked this way is really something else. I had to create a Maginot line to protect my half from Franci. Awesome paella.
