Los Pescadores Restaurant

Los Pescadores is on Tabarca's central beach, the row of establishments where many of the island's eateries are concentrated, a couple of minutes' walk from the quay. It is the restaurant Cruceros Kontiki uses for its boat-and-lunch package from Alicante, and it appears in the Tabarca tourist guide of the Alicante Tourism Board, 2025 edition, with the phone number 965 960 005.

The caldero, served in two parts

The dish people come to the island for is the caldero. It takes its name from the iron pot in which fishermen used to stew it, and it is made with local fish such as red mullet, scorpion fish or lechola. The guide also calls it a "sea stew", because it arrives at the table in two parts: first the rice, cooked in that stock, and then the fish with boiled potato and alioli. If there are several of you, add another rice dish to share; the menu and prices are not published, so ask when you book.

The terrace by the water

The operator describes the package meal as a rice dish on the terrace with sea views. That is the charm of the place: you eat at beach level, with the harbour and boats in sight, and you can go down to the sand before your coffee. For the same reason, in summer and at weekends it fills up with people arriving on the mid-morning boats.

The Kontiki package for groups

For groups of six or more, Kontiki sells the return boat from Alicante together with lunch at Los Pescadores, with a typical Tabarca rice dish. Prior booking is essential and is made with the operator, on 686 994 540 or by WhatsApp on that same number. The website does not publish the price of the package or which drink it includes.

Hours and booking

Neither the official guide nor the operator publishes the restaurant's opening hours. Call 965 960 005 to book a table and to confirm it is open on the day you go, especially between November and March, when there are fewer boats and some beach places work fewer days.
