Portuguese football team captain and former Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo, and international tennis legend Rafael Nadal, are behind the Tatel restaurant due to open in Spain's third-largest metropolis this summer.
It belongs to the Mabel Hospitality Group, and joins others already open in California, Qatar, Madrid and Ibiza.
Tatel restaurants are included in the USA Today ranking of the 25 best eateries 'worth the detour' and also this year's TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Awards.
National and international 'fusion' cuisine and live music can be found in the 600-square-metre premises in the old Valencia stock market building at number 19 of the C/ Pascual i Genís.
The décor, created by Mabel Design, takes its inspiration from the clandestine locales of 1920s' USA during the Prohibition, when alcohol was banned nationwide.
Tatel is a restaurant chain created by Nadal, Ronaldo, and business partners Manuel Campos Guallar and Abel Matutes Prats – the hospitality arm of the investment company Mabel Capital.
