La Vinoteca

Reviewed By Konstantin F

We had dinner at this restaurant, which fully deserves its ranking. The location is quite central, public parking is available nearby (Plaza Numancia). The restaurant has a sober and very tasteful decoration in white and blue tones. The welcoming of the staff and the eagerness of the waiter to explain the whole menu card (there is no english version available) was overwhelming. The food was excellent (warm salad and cold partridge for starters, sirloin with foie gras and roasted pigeon for mains). Appetizers and a glass of Rioja were offered. We wish we could come again...

Agua Salada

Reviewed By fergwheels

We found this place through the Lonely Planet guide.The restaurant is run by a charming and welcoming lady, who makes the whole experience a delight. The restaurant itself is cute, cosy and very relaxed. The food was sublime, with a chocolate dessert that nearly had me in tears (of happiness...). One of the best meals I’ve had in years. If it’s the only thing you do in Santander, you won’t have wasted your trip!!

CADELO

Reviewed By Jcascales

Super friendly staff in a cosy restaurant.Good atmosphere.Great beer, freeze and very well crafted. Croquettes were the only small portion, but perfect for sharing between 2 people.Lasagna was out of Menu, but it was an advice from the staff, snd it was just delicious! Cheesecake, the best moment of the dinner, it was a BLAST!! Make a reservation if you are in the area, because it is quiet busy!I will return soon.

Restaurant & SeaFood La Nueva Gaviota

[Cerrado hasta el 29/11/2018] La Nueva Gaviota es un restaurante marisquería de Santander que recoge la herencia hostelera de más de 50 años en uno de los mejores barrios de Santander, el Barrio Pesquero.

Reviewed By malholme

We flew into Bilbao on Sunday 29th July and were driven to Santander, arriving at a large restaurant area at 15.00 hrs. All the restaurants in the area were extremely popular, but La Gaviota found us a table for 7, including our three grandchildren. The staff were friendly and helpful, and service was prompt and efficient. The seafood was of high quality, and my only criticism was that the paella was rather too salt. The atmosphere was relaxed and the meal reasonably priced. A very pleasant first stop on our tour of Northern Spain

Locanda del Mare

Quiet, family restaurant with Italian food some times combined with elements of different culinary cultures looking for genuine, simple ... Mediterranean flavors :-)

Reviewed By chemolari

Their pastas are definitely worth trying. Real Italian food. Service may be a bit slow at times but you can enjoy the views while having a drink.

Marisqueria Casa Jose

Looking for a seafood restaurant in the fishing district of Santander? Look no further, you have arrived and you will hit! Specialties of seafood and fresh fish direct from the market prepared in a delicious way while maintaining the flavor of our sea.

Reviewed By dkbe

Yes, this is not a romantic place. Unlike stated in other reviews, they do have table cloth and tissues, but the setting is far from romantic or cosy.Go there to have seafood and leave when you are done - but people are friendly and the 75€ marisquería („tourist platter“) we shared (2 of us) was fresh, honest and abundant.Thank you for your opinion, we thank you for valuing our products, which indeed are always abundant, and above all fresh and of good quality.With regard to your comment on the romantic atmosphere, we think that love and romanticism goes beyond where the couple is, and has more to do with the moment :-)In any case it's just an opinion. Thank you for visiting us. See you again, or so we hope! :-)

Canas

Reviewed By jans1958

I've been to this place several times, both under the old and new management. In both cases the food is great and fantastic value for the money. Before, the menu was more ample with fish and seafoods, but the offer is still pretty good.Service, on the other hand, is a bit weird, the only qualification I can give to them, they are a but sour and not pleasant, but they do get your orders to the table.It's a place to try, definitely, if you can put up with the local spirit!

My wife and I were staying nearby for three nights. We dined at this beautiful little pizzaria on our first night. The pizzas were the best we have ever tasted. The prices were reasonable and staff very friendly. It was so good we returned two nights later.
