Poma Restaurant

In the Bajo de Guía row

Poma is one of the restaurants on the Bajo de Guía shore, Sanlúcar's old fishermen's quarter, facing the Guadalquivir beach with Doñana on the other side of the river. It is a few steps from Casa Bigote and from the landing stage of the boats to the park.

It presents itself as a typical Sanlúcar restaurant and seafood house, with a seafaring atmosphere: the interior is decorated with fishing gear and utensils. It has two dining rooms, one indoors and another called the Mirador, with views of the Coto de Doñana, as well as a terrace and a bar for tapas. The house reserves tables for family gatherings and groups and adapts the spaces to the number of diners.

What to order

Its two flagship dishes, according to its website, are the puntillitas al ajillo, its own way of preparing small squid, different from the usual frying, and Sanlúcar prawns with tomato, made with the river-mouth prawn in tomato sauce. The house says they are among its most ordered dishes.

The website itself calls the seafaring rice, with several shellfish and produce from the land, its most famous dish, and among its suggestions it also cites sweet-and-sour cod on a leek sauce and a corvina burger, for those who want something different from fried fish. The menu is organised into tapas, starters and portions, and fried dishes, stews and fish, with a dish of the day. The website does not publish prices.

To drink, the natural thing in Bajo de Guía is a manzanilla from the town's wineries, drunk cold with the fish.

Hours and bookings

Book on 956 365 153 or 956 360 285, at [email protected] or on its booking page. The website does not publish each day's hours, so it is worth calling beforehand, especially out of season. It closes for holidays from 7 January to 17 February, both included.

What to combine

It fits at the end of the walk along Bajo de Guía or on returning from the Doñana boat. If in the morning you do a visit to the Barbadillo cellars in the Barrio Alto, you can go down afterwards to eat on the riverbank.
