In town for a wedding looking for something that wasnt fried seafood. This place totally overcame all expectations the paella and octopus were both phenomenal. We sat outside on their beautiful deck the service was a little lacking but it was a Friday night and our server was very nice.
You’ll miss it if you drive by, but you shouldn’t miss it! This place was so amazing! Food, service, and atmosphere was on point! And as good as it was, surprisingly cheap, just under 70$ for 3 people with an appetizer. Thanks yawl!

I highly recommend this spot for a truly exceptional dining experience. The restaurant cultivates a unique and vibrant atmosphere that is both fun and sophisticated. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable; the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The presentation of the appetizers was exquisite, setting a high standard for the rest of the meal, which was equally delicious. Every dish we sampled was prepared with skill and artistry, contributing to a truly memorable evening. I would wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a high-quality culinary experience in a welcoming and lively environment.

Barely got to scratch the surface on my first visit but excited to come back - grilled octopus was amazing!
Ate at Valencia for the first time and it won’t be the last! It’s a very cozy restaurant with segregated rooms and well done decor which is not always the case in st Tammany. The food menu was outstanding and the tase just as good. The churros were insanely delicious. I really hope this place stays open.

We enjoyed a fine lunch today. I had the charred Spanish Octopus and it was spectacular. Perfectly cooked and with potatoes and honestly I will go back and have this again.

Valencia was a neat little place in downtown Covington. My wife, daughter and I had been a reservations for 7:30 outside. However they were able to accommodate us at the bar. Which was nice since it was 90° out and steamy. We started off with the octopus tapas plate which was really good. I would highly recommend it. We also had a picture of sangria which we could not finish. We also ordered the paella for two. It was enough for four people. The three of us ate it and had some to take home. And for my wife's birthday dessert, we had the chocolate Peruvian brownie with vanilla ice cream. It was pretty tasty too. The only complaint we had was it was a little loud in the bar area. It was hard to hear each other talk sitting side by side. But we will definitely go back

This was me and my mom's second time at Valencia. I took her for Mother's Day and we came back for her birthday because she and I had such a great time. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
If you haven't tried Valencia, you are missing out. Food is amazing and staff are friendly and attentive. Best shrimp and grits I have had anywhere! Do yourself a favor and try it, you will not be disappointed.

First timers and we loved it. A bit loud as there was a table of 12 next to us in the small dining room. Loved the chicken and sausage paella and all the tapas. Gorgeous atmosphere! We will be back!

We dined here for Father's Day and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We can't wait to go back and try more menu items. We loved the goat cheese app and the calamari was okay. We loved the burger, chimichurri steak and their version the shrimp and grits. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavor was phenomenal. I recommend trying the white sangria, it's so refreshing! We will be back!
