Patrons curious about the Restaurante Playa restaurant frequently share their impressions online, noting that the setting feels relaxed without losing sophistication. The service strikes a balance, pleasantly attentive though occasionally slower during busy times, which can slightly detract from the otherwise seamless experience.

Focusing on what arrives at the table, the menu showcases a thoughtful selection of regional flavors that manage to feel both familiar and distinct.

Restaurant Playa has been totally refitted for summer 2020. It could best be described as “industrial” but is none the worse for that. It’s clean, comfortable, friendly and has mellow background music that doesn’t intrude on quiet conversation. This was our second visit following the refit; the first was an outside table for tapas and a beer, but this was a sit-in meal. I started with cheese and jam, which is the best I’ve had anywhere in Spain. I followed up with a pizza. The base was more pastry-like than a traditional Italian bread pizza, but that was more than compensated for by the toppings, which were generous and tasty. My partner had chipirones; now we had these on the previous visit and they weren’t great - a bit wet in the middle is the best way to describe them - and I advised against them, but they got a second go and were still less than ideal. The tuna and tomato salad, on the other hand was excellent and very tasty. Not a salad in the traditional sense, but lots of tomato flavours and nicely cooked fish. As long as there’s Aperol behind the bar and the deep fried cheese on the menu, we’ll be back!

Absolutely fantastic food and the decor is beautiful. The plates were brilliantly presented and left me wanting more. Only let down was the price per portion.

Fab restaurant right on the beach. Lots of outdoor seating and truly beautiful and large indoor seating. I sit, people watching and pretending I'm in the south of France. Magical. I only have coffee here but friends have eaten and adore the food.

Great location looking over the beach and sea views. Very good salad de casa for 7 euros. Inside is also very nice and popular on the weekends.
