If you're looking for restaurants in Alcossebre, think in areas: the town stretches for several kilometres along the coast and each stretch has its own places to eat. The official tourist office of Alcalà de Xivert-Alcossebre lists around 90 bars and restaurants in Alcossebre alone, from seafront rice restaurants to pizzerias, grills and ice-cream parlours. This guide sorts them by area so you know where to eat in Alcossebre depending on where you're staying.
You won't find prices, opening hours or menus here, as they change throughout the year: always check them on each venue's own channels. And if you'd like to know which dishes to order, read what to eat in Alcossebre: paella, fish and local produce.

Promenade and Cargador beach
Cargador beach is Alcossebre's main beach, and its promenade and the Paseo Vistalegre are lined with bars, terraces, pizzerias and ice-cream parlours. On the beach itself is the rice restaurant El Arenal (El Arenal building), which publishes its rice menu on its website.
Alcossebre town centre
In the streets of the centre, a short walk from the Cargador, there are restaurants you can reach without the car:
- Coques i Brases (Calle Santa Lucía, 9): traditional "coques" (Valencian flatbreads) and chargrilled dishes.
- Gastrobar Joan (Calle Santa Lucía, 4).
- El Jardín (Calle Santa Lucía, 13): Italian cooking, with a terrace and an indoor dining room.
- Restaurante Rosa's (Calle Rench, 101): Mediterranean cooking with paella and rice dishes.
Camí de l'Atall: from Manyetes to Capicorb
The Camí de l'Atall is the road that follows the coast south of town, past beaches and coves such as Manyetes, Playa Romana and Capicorb. Restaurants here are further apart, so it's best to go by car or bike.
- Atalaya (Camí de l'Atall, Mar de Plata II building): the only restaurant in Alcossebre with a Michelin star. The Michelin Guide describes its cooking as contemporary and creative. Bookings: +34 964 96 71 07 and on its website, atalayarestaurante.com.
- Marimer (Camí de l'Atall, 68): rice and grill restaurant.
- Chepi (Manyetes beach): tapas, rice dishes and fish.
- Can Roig (Manyetes beach).
- Tunel (Capicorb beach): seafront terrace.
Alcalà de Xivert, 9 km away
For inland cooking, the old town of Alcalà de Xivert, the municipality Alcossebre belongs to, is about 9 km away (12 minutes by car). The official list includes a dozen or so bars and restaurants there, several around Plaza Juan Vilanova. It's a good plan during the Fira de la Tomata de Penjar, the local tomato fair held there in October.
Tips for choosing and booking
- Book in summer, at Easter and at weekends, especially if you want a seafront terrace.
- Out of season, call ahead: several coastal restaurants close or open fewer days in winter.
- Order your paella when you book if you're a group; rice dishes are usually for a minimum of two.
- Always check opening hours and menus on each venue's website or social media: this guide only tells you where they are.
The full list, with phone numbers and addresses, is on the Alcossebre tourist office website. And if you'd like to dine at the marina and walk back, take a look at the apartments next to Club Náutico Las Fuentes.
