Mattilda - Paterna

Came across this place purely by chance. Looked cool and casual. We had the tasting menu and it was anything but casual. Portions were just right and the flavours were amazing. Have to add how amazed we were with the waiter. A one man show and yet he coped so efficiently.

We entered the restaurant with my boyfriend I felt sick and needed the restroom urgently and he sat at the table to order something to drink and a snack for himself. there was nobody behind the bar. my boyfriend asked kindly for the menu and the owner ? said in quite an impolite way he has to order quickly as they were closing soon sure, understandable . then, after asking few questions, he got the information we can only order large lunch portion for 2 people and beer or wine as a drink. when I came from the restroom, I decided I'm not really able to eat anything, but as we weren't allow to sit there for like 15min to rest and drink some water or juice, we decided to leave. and then the action started lol... . the owner ? said the toilet is ONLY for his guests. we said we were sorry and it's not any problem, I gave him 10€ and he throw the note on the ground. then he started to shout and offended us that we weren't cultural and he never wants to see us again. we gave him a note again, trying to apologize, but then he actually throw the money into me shouting the restaurant IS HIS HOME lol and he doesn't invite random people to use his toilet. I mean... ok. rude, aggressive, offensive and to me as a woman, totally scary and disrespectful. I hope you see it. believe me, we'll never see you again

Great paella, inventive and delicious inexpensive lunch menu and the hardest working waiter in the country. Great place.
