At Alenar, our philosophy has always been rooted in respect for local produce. That is why, once again, we are delighted to take part in the Semana del Desayuno Valenciano, a campaign led by the Federación Empresarial de Hostelería de Valencia in collaboration with Turisme València, the Diputació de València and the IGP “Cítricos Valencianos” Regulatory Council.
For one week, more than 80 establishments across the province come together with a shared purpose: to celebrate the most emblematic citrus fruit of our region at the most important moment of the day. If you’re looking for places to have breakfast in Valencia, this is your chance to start the morning with the most authentic flavours of the Terreta.
What is the Semana del Desayuno Valenciano?
The Semana del Desayuno Valenciano is an annual gastronomic initiative organized by the Federación Empresarial de Hostelería de Valencia in collaboration with the IGP “Cítricos Valencianos” Regulatory Council. Its aim is to promote certified-quality Valencian oranges through local hospitality venues, shining a spotlight on one of the Comunitat’s most iconic products.
Since its early editions, the event has grown steadily and without interruption, with notable participation in 2020, 2021 and 2023, firmly establishing itself as one of Valencia’s most recognized gastronomic campaigns. Each year, dozens of bars, cafés and restaurants across the province join the initiative, offering their customers a complimentary glass of IGP-certified Valencian orange juice with their breakfast.
For those who love food events in Valencia, the Semana del Desayuno Valenciano is a wonderful opportunity to discover the true value of local produce whilst enjoying your morning routine at one of the finest bars in Valencia city centre.

We want you to start your morning with all the energy and flavour of our land. That is why, during the morning hours on each day of the campaign, every customer who comes to Alenar for breakfast will receive a fresh glass of IGP-certified Valencian orange juice at no extra charge.
This complimentary juice will accompany our usual coffee and toast, turning your breakfast into a complete, nourishing ritual deeply connected to our roots. It is our way of thanking you for choosing establishments that champion the agriculture of our region.
What is the IGP “Cítricos Valencianos” certification and why does it matter?
The Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) “Cítricos Valencianos” is a European quality mark that guarantees the oranges have been grown, harvested and packaged in the Comunitat Valenciana, meeting strict criteria for both origin and quality. This is not just any juice it is the flavour of our land in its purest form, backed by an official body that safeguards its authenticity.
When we place a glass of juice on your table at Alenar during the Semana del Desayuno Valenciano, every glass also carries with it the hard work of our local farmers, the richness of our soil, and the commitment of a hospitality industry that believes in local produce as the foundation of sustainable, quality gastronomy.
Alenar and the Semana del Desayuno Valenciano: a longstanding commitment
Our participation in the Semana del Desayuno Valenciano is neither incidental nor opportunistic. At Alenar, we have been joining this initiative year after year because it aligns perfectly with our approach to hospitality: locally sourced ingredients, respect for the producer, and a gastronomic experience that connects our guests with the identity of the Comunitat Valenciana.
We were proud to take part in the 2024 edition once again, reaffirming our commitment to a campaign that, year on year, demonstrates just how much Valencia’s hospitality industry has to say when it comes to championing what is ours. Because breakfast is not simply the start of the day it is also an opportunity to support those who care for our land.
How to take part in the Semana del Desayuno Valenciano at Alenar
Taking part could not be simpler just come in for breakfast. During the morning hours on each day of the campaign, any customer who orders their usual breakfast at Alenar will automatically receive their complimentary glass of certified Valencian orange juice at no extra cost. No prior booking or registration of any kind is required.
You will find us in the heart of Valencia, with the warm and welcoming atmosphere we are known for and a team that loves starting the day well just as much as you do.
Our commitment to produce from the Comunitat Valenciana
For us, taking part in this campaign is a statement of intent. At Alenar, we feel a deep affinity with this commitment to food sovereignty and the excellence of local ingredients. We firmly believe that Valencian oranges are second to none, and we are proud to champion their outstanding gastronomic value within the hospitality scene of Valencia city centre.
This same philosophy of local, zero-kilometer produce is what drives our menu throughout the year from our Valencian tapas to our seasonal menus, through to the special events we take part in such as this one. Backing what is ours is not a trend; it is simply who we are.
Your everyday breakfast, now with a designation of origin
Taking part in this initiative is our way of protecting what makes us unique: the taste of freshly squeezed orange juice and the respect we hold for those who tend our land. If you would like to stay up to date with all the food events we take part in throughout the year, we invite you to keep a close eye on the Alenar calendar. We look forward to celebrating the essence of the Terreta together.
