3. El Tintero
This is one of the many great fish restaurant you will find at Pedregalejo. Located on Av. Salvador Allende 340. This restaurant is very particular, the waiters bring out food from the kitchen and shout out what they have, and if you want that, let them know. It?s sort of like going to an auction. The good thing is you order what looks good, and you don?t have to wait for your plate to be prepared. Visit this place for a different, fun type of restaurant.

This restaurant is located at the end of La Malagueta beach. Great location and atmosphere, perfect for watching the sunset and enjoying a meal with the family or for a romantic dinner. The food has ups and downs, sometimes it?s fantastic and some just ok, but service is always quick and attentive and the setting is magical.

5. El Caleño
Another great and simple restaurant at Pedregalejo. Fresh fish served right in front of the beach. Nothing fancy, so you can roll up your sleeves and enjoy the shrimp, shellfish and paella. It?s a good idea to call in advance and make your reservation, especially for dinner service. Make sure to try the sardines Espetos. Delicious!

This is one of the more modern, fancy restaurants on the Pedregalejo boardwalk. Fresh fish with a contemporary/asian twist. Higher prices than other restaurants in the area, but totally worth it.

It's a great place for a romantic dinner. Location: Paseo Maritimo el Pedregal, 1.

7. Los Mellizos
Located in the city center, on Calle Sanchez de Lara 7. Excellent fish and very fresh. They are mostly cooked in simple ways and do not hide flavour under thick sauces. Try the pulpo a la gallega or the sea bass and you will not be disappointed. Yum!
