Within walking distance of the apartment on Avda de Pescia, eat inside, outside on their beautiful terrace, or order home delivery, this is one of our all time favourite places. Pizzas are great, their lasagna superb, plus a great range of fresh pasta dishes - or do you choose fresh fish, or meat? Will you have room for one of their home made desserts?

Our favourite restaurant at the Burriana Beach, serving fresh fish and seafood, amongst a myriad of other dishes.
They have portions of paella at a very reasonable price (unless you want your own, in which case you need to order in advance), as well as barbecued ribs, half a roast chicken, and some lovely puddings and ice creams.
