    Bar Ricardo

    La Petxina, València

    Restaurant in València, Spain

    Why go

    Should you plan a date at Bar Ricardo? Yes, if the evening is wine-led and you want an easy València stop with Star Wine List recognition. Treat it as a drinks-first choice rather than a food-led booking, since verified menu and pricing details are not listed.

    About Bar Ricardo

    In València, Bar Ricardo is a practical pick to consider when the occasion should be casual and uncomplicated. Consider it for a date or catch-up where the priority is choosing a direct place in the city rather than building the plan around a highly specified dining format.

    The main reason to put it on the shortlist is recognition from Star Wine List in 2026. That gives it a clearer wine-related signal than a generic casual listing, which matters if the goal is a conversation-led evening. It is best approached as a casual stop, so confirm current food details directly with the venue.

    A wine-related date choice in València

    Bar Ricardo is in València, with hours from 12 PM to 12 AM Tuesday through Saturday and closures on Monday and Sunday. Readers comparing more València options can cross-check Metabar before committing.

    For date night, the case is strongest for people who want an easy casual stop without turning the evening into a formal plan. The known hours also make it flexible across the day and evening from Tuesday to Saturday. If the night needs a defined culinary plan, use our full València restaurants guide first, then treat this as one possible stop on the route.

    Who should choose it, and who should look elsewhere

    Choose this if the priority is a relaxed, casual evening with enough recognition to make the pick feel considered. Skip it if the group needs a confirmed menu, a published price range, or a clearly stated booking channel. For a broader scan, our full València bars guide is the right next stop; for a bigger trip plan, use our full València hotels guide, our full València wineries guide, and our full València experiences guide.

    If this slot is part of a Spain-wide itinerary, compare the occasion more than the category: other dining rooms and bars may suit different city moods, while Bar Ricardo is a València choice with Star Wine List recognition. For a different reference point in València, Vinorte Winebar is another option to consider.

    How it compares in València

    Choose Bar Ricardo over Vinorte Winebar, Trotamundos, and Ultramarinos Agustin Rico when the decision is specifically wine-led and you want a simple two-person evening. Its Star Wine List recognition gives it the clearest verified wine signal in this set, while the other venues need to be judged on fit once their current format, pricing, and booking setup are checked.

    Metabar and Somos Raro are better cross-shops if the night is more about bar energy or a broader drinks mood than a wine-first plan. Bar Ricardo is the practical pick for a date where conversation and bottle choice matter more than a high-concept room.

    For booking difficulty, treat Bar Ricardo as the easier play unless a specific event or peak-night plan changes the equation. For value, the smarter move is to confirm the current list and food options before building a full evening around it, then compare against Vinorte Winebar or Ultramarinos Agustin Rico if price sensitivity matters.
