What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
This beachfront restaurant is highly praised for its exceptional food, particularly the paella and octopus dishes, and its stunning sea views and sunsets. The friendly and attentive staff contribute to a positive dining experience, although some note that service can be relaxed. While generally well-received, a few reviewers found certain dishes, like the seafood rice, to be overly salty, and the prices were considered somewhat high by some.
"Nice sea food, beach front restaurant. Elegant modern style and deco. Great service and friendly staff. The octopus "pulpo 3 cocciones" (boiled, then breaded, then grilled) was delicious, and fresh. This dish cost 28 euro and comes with 2 tentacles, some potatoes and Ali-oli. Enough for 1 person, or 2 if not too hungry. I was served by Juan Carlos, who was very professional, friendly and readily available."

"La Goleta and Cabo de Gata is an absolute jewel nestled in a picturesque setting, a culinary haven that has captured my heart and palate over the last 15 years. Every visit transforms into a memorable dining experience, filled with the rich flavors of expertly prepared octopus, paella, and the exquisite gallo pedro, making it an unrivaled destination for gourmands. It’s not just a restaurant; it’s a cherished tradition, where I joyfully bring friends and family from around the globe to share in the delight of each dish’s culinary craftsmanship. La Goleta is more than just dining; it’s an immersive experience into the best of gastronomy, where every bite tells a story of passion, flavor, and excellence."

"A couple weeks have passed since I was in La Goleta and I can’t stop thinking about the amazing food I ate there. Would be hard for me to recommend a specific dish because all of them are WONDERFUL. They made the best paella I ever tasted, full of everything (not just rice like many others I tried before) the ajo blanco with the finest texture, the boquerones, all the pizzas are delicious, the octopus was absolutely amazing, and the desserts as well (chocolate cake was my favorite). EVERYTHING on the menu is delicious!!!
All the staff was great and super friendly, you see all the love they put into their work.
And what makes this restaurant even better is the location, just in front of the beach from where you can see the beautiful sunset.
On my next vacation I want to go to again to Cabo de gata just for tasting again the amazing food of this restaurant."
