Masamagrell, like much of the Valencia region, boasts a rich culinary tradition. The town’s proximity to both agricultural land and the Mediterranean Sea means that its cuisine incorporates fresh produce, seafood, and meats. Paella Valenciana, the region’s most famous dish, is often featured in local restaurants and is a must-try for any visitor. The dish, typically made with chicken, rabbit, and sometimes seafood, is cooked with rice grown in the surrounding area.
Another popular local dish is “arròs a banda,” a rice dish made with fish stock, served separately from the seafood. Visitors can also enjoy “fideuà,” a noodle-based dish similar to paella but made with short noodles and seafood. Local bakeries offer sweets like “fartons,” which are often enjoyed with “horchata,” a refreshing drink made from tiger nuts.
For those looking to explore local food culture, Masamagrell has several charming cafes and family-owned restaurants where traditional Valencian meals are served. Additionally, the town hosts occasional food festivals, celebrating local products like citrus fruits, olive oil, and wines.
