A nice friendly restaurant, great waiter nothing too much trouble. Menu of the Day was Paella full of prawns, squid and shell fish followed by Seabass etc freshly prepared food and tasty. Slightly more expensive at 14euros but includes drink, bread and dessert. Extensive fish menu available and it looked amazing when being served to other tables.

Read about this place on TA so decided to give it a go. Although the opening time is shown as 13:00 it does not in fact open until 13:30 so we sat on the seafront for 30 minutes. We chose to sit in the outdoor bit and a very pleasant waiter greeted us and was very helpful when we asked for advice on the wine and the snapper. His wine choice was excellent and at a reasonable price - a Muga white rioja. I had the turbot and my wife had the snapper. Both were excellent served with buttered potatoes. Very large fish portions cooked to perfection. Prior to this we had complimentary olives and calamari and we also had bread. We had desserts and coffee and the bill came to just under 100 euros. It was worth every penny. The waiter, who was not the owner, was brilliant and between my very poor Spanish and his slightly better English we communicated satisfactorily. menu had an English translation.

We made the effort to find this tiny resturaunt during out visit to Santander. Located in the fishing district of Barrio Pescera, this simple resturaunt is reminiscent of a scene from the film 'The Waterfront'. The setting might be simple but the food is certainly not. Fabulous freshly caught fish cooked well in great local traditional recipies. The service was good, friendly and the price was very cheap. I had a starter of mussels in sauce and then had sea food paella which is a must. If you are in Santander make the effort to visit La Chulilla..you will be glad you did.

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

Our trip to Spain is drawing to an end and we have continued our search for the perfect lunch!!!We ate here today: a little bit difficult to find if your expectation is Santander, its on the outskirts in a little village. The venue is lovely, typically Spanish and typical of this area. The lady who served us was welcoming and friendly, it was quiet when arrived at 2pm but was packed as the afternoon wore on. The food was fabulous: we had jamon and cheese croquettas, a delicious fish pudin( similar to a seafood terrine served with toast), I had red sea bass, he had beef steak, we shared a delicious bottle of wine, water and dessert, we had coffee to finish, the cost was 80Euros and excellent value, we highly recommend.

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⬠marisquerÃa (âtourist platterâ) 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! :-)
