Tartare, caldero (the local fish and rice stew) and ingredient-led cooking in Polígono Q

El Camarote de la Martinique is a Mediterranean beachfront restaurant in Polígono Q, at km 10 of La Manga, with a terrace overlooking Mar Menor. Average spending ranges from 30 to 60 euros per person, and dozens of reviews mention the tartare, caldero (the local fish and rice stew) and sunset views from the tables.

The menu: raw fish, rice dishes and produce from Mar Menor

The menu combines traditional seafood cooking with more creative dishes, and much of the fish is served raw or lightly seared. The dishes mentioned most often in reviews are:

  • Tuna tartare, mentioned in more than twenty reviews
  • Caldero (the local fish and rice stew) and arroz a banda (rice cooked in fish stock), with duck rice as a meat option
  • King prawn gyozas and croquettes
  • Red prawns and mullet roe
  • Meagre fish and rib-eye or beef loin

There are vegetarian and vegan options, a children's menu and highchairs. Google also highlights the wine list, cocktails, coffee and desserts.

    One of the best restaurants in La Manga, with incredible service, views and atmosphere that make it a luxurious experience. It isn't cheap, but all of that, plus the quality and originality of the dishes, makes up for it. Definitely a must in La Manga.
