Vivero 55

Vivero 55 is a restaurant with a drinks area on Vivero beach, in Polígono Playa de los Alemanes, at km 2 of La Manga and very near Cabo de Palos. It faces the Mar Menor, and sunsets over the lagoon feature in more than a hundred reviews. Average spending is 20 to 50 euros per person.

The menu and neighbouring Asian bar

The venue describes its food as casual and creative, inspired by European city street food, with sharing dishes and desserts. Next door is Izakai Asian Bar, part of the same group, serving sushi and Asian-inspired dishes, so both cuisines can be enjoyed in one evening. The bar offers beers, wines and cocktails, and Google highlights its cocktails, wine selection and coffee.

From lunch to late night

The day has three phases. Lunch and afternoon meals are served on the terrace; sunset brings cocktails and socialising overlooking the lagoon; at night it becomes a nightclub with live music. Drinks feature in dozens of reviews, as does the party atmosphere.

Night-time entry dress code

There is a night-time dress code, and several reviews warn that flip-flops are not allowed. Reserved areas are identified by wristbands, and on busy nights entry depends on capacity. If dining and staying afterwards, dress for the evening.

Opening hours and directions

In high season it closes only on Mondays: Tuesday to Thursday it opens in the afternoon, and Friday to Sunday from midday, staying open until the early hours at weekends. Outside summer, Google also shows Tuesday closures. Booking is recommended for lunch and dinner. There is ample free parking nearby, accessible entry and toilets, and highchairs.
