What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Chiringuito El Velero is a historic beachfront restaurant offering a mixed dining experience. While many praise the excellent seafood, particularly the paella and grilled fish, and enjoy the beautiful ambiance and views, some diners report issues with slow or inattentive service and disappointment with certain dishes like overcooked chicken or steaks not prepared as requested.

"Beautiful place to come for an evening meal. Right on the beach front, lovely ambience, nice heated outdoor seating area. We ordered the sardines, croquettes, and seafood paella and would highly recommend all 3. Their white house wine was also very nice."

"10/10 Wonderful experience, me an my mom went there for dinner, and I can't say that I was disappointed, the food was just amazing, the staff were very nice, and the service was just impeccable, I would definitely recommend taking any fish that you find as it is sourced locally and tastes extremely delicious. This is just the best place in the whole city."
Alexey Korzh
"Food looks very good but the service lacks a little. I ordered a steak, specified well done, physically pointed out the picture of well done in the menu and repeated it to the waiter. The steak arrived with blood running from it. I pointed this out to the waiter and his reply was that I should have told him sooner. Very disappointing"
