Chicken bar

The chicken bar at the end of the road

We roast one bird at a time over charcoal, rest it properly, and serve it whole or by the half. Sides change with the market. The room seats twenty-six. Come for the roast, stay for the last glass of wine.

Meadow & Willow sits on a quiet corner near the Mercat de Russafa, where the smell of the fire reaches the road before the door does.

Why a chicken bar

Meadow & Willow started as an argument about what a chicken bar in València should look like. Not a rotisserie window, not a chain grill. Something you'd walk down the road for on purpose.

The name comes from two farms we used to buy from outside Requena, back when we were testing birds on a single charcoal drum in a rented courtyard.

Three years on, the drum is bigger and the room has walls, but the method hasn't moved: one fire, one cut, cooked to order.

We only do one thing well, so we do it every night.

Need to know

What people ask us.

Do you take reservations?

Yes, for groups of four or more. Smaller tables are first come, first served at the bar.

Is there parking nearby?

Street parking is limited around Russafa. There's a public car park on Carrer de Cuba, a five-minute walk.

Can you do a vegetarian plate?

The menu is built around the bird, but we can put together a plate from the sides on request.

Is the space wheelchair accessible?

Yes, the entrance is level and tables are spaced for wheelchair access; the toilet is on the ground floor.

What makes your chicken different?

We cook to order over charcoal rather than holding birds under heat lamps, so timing runs slower but the skin stays properly crisp.
