Historic paella restaurant on the beach strip that does good traditional rice and survives mostly on reputation built decades ago. The paella is competent, the setting is pleasant, and the service is professional, but it's been passed by more ambitious rice restaurants in recent years. Still, if you want beachfront paella in a classic Valencian setting without the homework required for better places, this accomplishes that mission. Just don't expect it to be revelatory.

Insider Intel
Paella valenciana or seafood paella, cooked traditionally over wood. Set the right expectations and you won't be disappointed.
Lunch, specifically Sunday lunch when families pack in. Weekday lunches are easier to book. Avoid if seeking undiscovered gems.
Reservations recommended. Rice takes 30+ minutes as it should. Prices are tourist-aware. English spoken. This is fine, just not exceptional.
