Staying at the Hampton Inn Airport hotel. The restaurant came recommended by the very kind person at the front desk.

There is valet so no worries about parking. Upon entering, I waited for a staff member to greet and seat me - only a few minutes. Complimentary Fresh bread 🥖 and crisp salad 🥗 to start—such a nice touch at Valenca! We sipped sangria 🍷, then shared the paella 🥘 packed with lobster 🦞, mussels 🦪, clams, and scallops (huge portion!). The filet mignon on the stone 🥩🔥 was cooked with this butter sauce just how we liked it. For dessert we had tres leche and crème brûlée and coffee. Great service + great food = perfect girls’ night out! 💃💕

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Valença Restaurant! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality that set the tone for an exceptional evening. The Portuguese cuisine here is nothing short of outstanding.

Love it! Food was good, big portions, staff is so helpful and nice! The crème brûlée with berries were the perfect combo! Just visiting but will definitely come back!

Our family has been coming to this wonderful Portuguese restaurant for years — for birthdays, family gatherings, and most recently for my wife’s grandmother’s 90th birthday, and again after her peaceful passing for her repass. This place has always held a special meaning for us. The food is consistently delicious — authentic Portuguese flavors, cooked to perfection every time — and the staff could not be more kind or attentive.

Always great food! Never disappoints! If you haven't discovered yet, Valencia restaurant serves an uplifting Portuguese pizza experience! I had the privilege of trying it yesterday for the first time and it was absolutely phenomenal.

Absolute delight of a dining experience. The restaurant was absolutely bustling on a Monday night, and yet they had plenty of space for more people. There was a great atmosphere and good service. Your meal comes with a large house salad and bread which I greatly appreciated. The hot plate dining experience is also a great time, with a fun way to grill your meat to your liking. I enjoyed the surf and turf combo of the filet with shrimp, highly recommend this spot!
