Families, take note: this seaside restaurant has a playground across the promenade. The emphasis here is on seafood such as gambas pil-pil (prawns in a spicy oil-based sauce) and rice-based dishes (with five to choose from). The place gets packed with rowdy Spanish families on Sunday, so that's not the time for an intimate tête a deux.
