The restaurant with the most stars is not automatically right for your evening. The useful question is whether you want the centre, sea view, La Mata, fish, tapas or something easy after the beach.

Choose the area first
The centre is practical for tapas, fish and an evening on foot. Playa del Cura works when food and sea should be part of the same plan. La Mata gives you more beach atmosphere and several options along the coast.
Five useful starting points
The official tourism directory currently lists examples such as Mar de Levante for Mediterranean fish and seafood in the centre, Pizza Nº1 by Playa del Cura, La Fusión in La Mata, El Charro Negro for Mexican food and Foodline La Mata for a more casual Spanish option.
These are orientation points from the official directory, not paid placements or our personal ranking. Check opening times and reservations directly with the restaurant.
What is actually local?
In 2026 the city presented a recipe collection with 15 traditional dishes. Caldero, cuttlefish dishes, rice dishes and maritime stews are more useful clues to local food than generic tourist labels.
How we would choose
After the beach: stay around Playa del Cura or La Mata.
For an evening on foot: centre and promenade.
For local food: look for rice, fish, seafood and traditional dishes.
In peak summer: reserve popular terraces or call ahead.
