Seafaring home-cooking restaurant on Calle Virgen del Carmen, inside the village, away from the midday bustle of the beach.

Almost everyone who gets off the boat eats in the row of places on the beach. La Almadraba is in the other Tabarca: at number 29 Calle Virgen del Carmen, one of the straight streets of the walled village, inside the enclosure that Charles III ordered built. The Tabarca tourist guide published by the Alicante Tourism Board, in its 2025 edition, still lists it among the island's eateries, with two phone numbers: 965 970 587 and 696 580 057.
A table inside the wall
To get there from the quay you enter the village through the San Rafael Gate and follow the streets of the enclosure; on the same street are also the Hotel Santacreu and the Don Jerónimo restaurant. Eating here keeps you in the village, among low houses and away from the hustle of the sand, with the church of San Pedro y San Pablo a short walk away for afterwards.
What is known about its cooking
La Almadraba has no working website of its own and the official guide does not publish a menu, prices or opening hours. What is eaten on the island, and what is worth asking about when you call, is the caldero tabarquino: a rice stewed in a rockfish stock, such as red mullet, scorpion fish or lechola, served in two stages, first the rice and then the fish with boiled potato and alioli. Also ask about the fish of the day and whether they prepare it for the number of people in your group.
Before you go: call
With no published hours, the phone is the only way to know whether it is open on the day you go. Do it especially from November to March, when there are fewer boats and the island empties on weekdays, and in summer if you are going at the weekend, to book. If you cross from Alicante on a Saturday or Sunday, plan your lunch around the return boat: Kontiki returns at 14:30 and 17:00.

Qué pedir: caldero or a fish rice dish; ask about the fish of the day.

## Consejos

### Ask about the caldero when you book
If they make it to order or for a minimum number of people, it is better to know before boarding.

### Come through the village, go back by the beach
Going in through the walled streets and returning to the quay along Tabarca beach makes a good after-lunch walk.
