Caldero (the local fish and rice stew) and arroz perlines (a house rice dish) overlooking Cabo de Palos harbour

Restaurante Miramar is a rice and seafood restaurant on Paseo de la Barra in Cabo de Palos, facing the marina. Caldero (the local fish and rice stew) is its signature dish: it appears in almost two hundred Google reviews, while the harbour, visible from the tables, features in more than a hundred.

The house rice dishes

Caldero, the fish and rice stew typical of this coast, is the first thing people order. But it is not the only rice dish with fans. Several reviews describe arroz perlines (a house rice dish) as their discovery, and lobster rice receives dozens of mentions. The menu also includes seafood paella, meat rice dishes and grilled food, as Google also classifies it as a grill restaurant.

To start, the most frequently mentioned starters are traditional Murcian dishes:

Baby squid and chanquetes (small fish)
Moje murciano (Murcian tomato salad)
Spanish-caught squid and grilled squid
Homemade leche frita (fried milk pudding) and tocino de cielo (a rich egg-yolk custard) for dessert

There is a children's menu and a gluten-free option.

Prices and what customers say

Two customers put the bill at 25 to 40 euros per person, including rice and starters. Three things dominate reviews: caldero (the local fish and rice stew), the views and the friendly waiters. Parking along the promenade fills up early on busy days, so allow extra time.

A table upstairs or on the terrace

The restaurant has a terrace on the promenade and an upstairs dining room with harbour views and air conditioning, cooler than the terrace in hot months. Several reviews say bookings are needed in high season, so call well ahead if you want caldero (the local fish and rice stew) at the weekend.

Open Wednesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner, and closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The entrance, dining room, toilets and accessible parking are adapted for wheelchairs. For other rice restaurants in the village and La Manga, see the restaurant directory.
