Rice Restaurants in Costa Blanca: The Rice Paradise

Rice restaurants are temples of rice in Costa Blanca. In Alicante, Casa Montes is a reference for arroz a banda (with fish broth served separately), while in Torrevieja, La Mata stands out for its black rice with squid ink. In Orihuela Costa, Restaurante Levante offers Valencian paella with ingredients from the orchard and soupy rice with lobster for special occasions.

Signature Dishes

  • Arroz a banda: In Guardamar del Segura, with shrimp and mussels.
  • Black rice: In Santa Pola, with squid and alioli.
  • Valencian paella: In Los Alcázares, with chicken and rabbit.
  • Rice with crust: In Elche, with egg and ham.

Where to Enjoy It?

In San Pedro del Pinatar, La Casa del Arroz has an extensive menu. In Benidorm, Restaurante Dársena offers sea views. And if you’re looking for authenticity, Casa Carmela in Pilar de la Horadada is a safe bet.
