Overview
Eating out in Valencia
Valencia's cooking revolves around rice: paella valenciana with chicken and rabbit, arroz a banda, arroz negro, and the fields of La Albufera just south of the city. Horchata and fartons are an afternoon ritual.
The city has become a favourite for remote workers and international residents, and Las Fallas in March brings huge crowds. Menus serve locals in Spanish and Valencian and newcomers in English, French, Italian and Dutch.

Menu tips for venues in Valencia
Explain rice minimums and times
Write "minimum two people, 30 minutes" in the description so guests know before they order.
Prepare a Fallas menu
A shorter menu for the festival week can sit in its own catalog and go live when the crowds arrive.
Add Dutch and Italian
Visitors from the Netherlands and Italy are frequent in Valencia, so these languages pay off beyond English and French.

How languages work in ListoQ
Each menu has a default language plus any extra languages you add. You translate item names and descriptions per language; allergen labels and dietary tags come from built-in lists and appear translated automatically. Guests switch language on the menu page itself.
With ListoQ
How ListoQ runs your QR menu in Valencia
One QR code that never needs reprinting
ListoQ gives each venue a permanent QR code and link. Change a price or a dish of the day and guests in Valencia see it the moment you publish.
The 14 EU allergens on every dish
Tag allergens and vegetarian or vegan options per item in ListoQ, so the information guests ask about is on the menu instead of in a folder behind the bar.
Import the menu you already have
AI import in ListoQ reads a PDF, Excel, Word file or photo into a draft. You review it, add your languages and publish when it is ready.
