If you're after paella and rice dishes in Alcossebre with a sea view, El Náutico is a natural stop: it sits above Las Fuentes beach and its cooking focuses on rice and fish. This page sums up the kind of dishes it serves, with photos from the restaurant itself. The exact menu and prices are on its website.
Rice dishes and fideuà
Rice is El Náutico's signature. The menu distinguishes between traditional, signature and seasonal rice dishes, plus fideuà, the noodle version that's so popular on the Valencian coast.
On the Castellón coast, rice is eaten in many ways: as a paella, creamy (meloso), soupy (caldoso), oven-baked or "a banda", with the rice and fish served separately. Ask the restaurant which rice dishes they have that day and, if you're a group or want a particular one, mention it when you book.
Fish and seafood
The other big section is the sea: fish and seafood, including seafood platters to share. What's available on the day depends on the market, so ask about the suggestions when you book or when you sit down.
Starters, salads and meat
To start, the menu offers starters and seasonal salads. And for anyone who doesn't fancy fish, there's meat too.
Desserts
The menu finishes with a desserts section, which also changes with the seasons.
Eating on the terrace or in the dining room
Restaurante El Náutico, on the upper floor, has two spaces with sea views:
| Space | What it's like |
|---|---|
| Glass-walled dining room | Indoor dining room surrounded by windows, with views of the sea and the marina |
| Raised terrace | Outdoors and covered, looking out over Las Fuentes beach |
And if you'd rather eat right on the beach, La Terraza del Náutico is on the ground floor of the same building: a separate venue with its own menu and bookings (+34 685 317 197).
