Decked out like the stateroom of a baroque galleon, and with an outdoor terrace overlooking the water, this place, 3km northeast of the centre, is one of Torrevieja's best-positioned restaurants. Seafood is the way to go here; it's also a nice spot to drop by for a wine and tapa at the bar during a coastal walk.
