Estuve en La Bocana de Palos, una buena experiencia, en pleno puerto de Cabo de Palos, ya pone el listón alto: comer con esas vistas al mar es un lujo en sí mismo. Pedimos pulpo un entrante que no puede fallar, dorada y lubina, y todo estaba en su punto. El pulpo, tierno y sabroso, con ese toque a la brasa que le da carácter. La dorada a la plancha y la lubina a la plancha. Se nota que trabajan con materia prima de calidad y saben cómo tratarla. Aquí no hay artificios innecesarios, sino respeto por lo que se sirve. El servicio fue amable y atento, de esos que se agradecen porque hacen que te sientas cómodo sin ser invasivos. Además, el ambiente del restaurante acompaña: mesas amplias, ritmo tranquilo y la sensación de estar disfrutando de un rincón especial. En definitiva, un lugar que combina buena cocina, trato cercano y un entorno único. Perfecto tanto para una comida relajada como para una ocasión especial. Sin duda, un sitio al que volveré y que recomiendo a cualquiera que visite Cabo de Palos.

Comí aquí con mi pareja el 14 de febrero y qué gran descubrimiento….un servicio increíble , un ambiente impecable, con todo lujo de detalles. Sin duda un lugar increíble para sorprender a tu pareja y tener una velada romántica ( recomiendo 100% el salón de la planta de arriba , vistas increíbles )

Restaurante muy bueno! La comida excelente, con un ambiente muy agradable con mesas en interior y exterior y un servicio de 10. Buen balance calidad - precio. El tataki de atún delicioso, la caldera para chuparse los dedos. El café asiático muy bueno! Todo rico. Seguro volveremos

Todo buenísimo y un trato muy atento por parte de los camareros. Buena relación calidad precio, y hay que tener en cuenta que estás en el paseo marítimo de Cabo de Palos. Se aconseja reservar.

Excelente restaurante. La ubicación es inmejorable, ideal para disfrutar de un buen momento. La comida está deliciosa, especialmente el arroz, que estaba en su punto y con un sabor increíble. El postre también fue una grata sorpresa, realmente delicioso. El personal es muy amable, siempre atentos y con una sonrisa. Además, la relación calidad-precio es muy buena, vale totalmente la pena. ¡Sin duda volveré pronto!

Teníamos reserva en terraza para comer, hacia calor y pedimos si podía ser dentro, nos hicieron un hueco y nos pusieron dentro sin problema en la planta de arriba con vistas al puerto. Comimos una marinera y arroz de pulpo, buenísimo todo!! Muy amables y atentos. Nos quedamos con ganas de probar el pulpo frito o a la cartagenera, para la próxima. Muy recomendable!

Nos pedimos lo que nos recomendó Lola, la chica que nos atendió, y estaba todo buenísimo, sobretodo el arroz y el pulpo. El servicio por su parte fue de 10, el entorno muy chulo y los postres increíbles.

Very very nice place, wonderful atmosphere with extremely friendly helpful staff and really great food. I recommend the lobster rice, it's excellent.

What a fantastic meal my wife and I have had this evening A lovely atmosphere upstairs with a view over the harbour. A great starter with our croquetas. My main of Encrecot steak with fried potatoes and peppers was perfect. My wife enjoyed her Taco de Salmon with a nice selection of vegetables. I would throughly recommend the Postre Asiatico desert to any coffee lovers. I even managed a spoonful of my wife’s Chocolate Brownie which was spot on as well. All finished off with two hot cafe con leche. This was a great meal out, we were looked after by Javier who was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Thank you Bocana.

Great location, good quality and reasonably priced food. Delicious fried baby squid, and the rice was really good. Not the best rice I've eve had but there was a lot of soccorat which we love! Service couldve been a bit better - took a while to get drinks and take our order but once we ordered, it was quick

We had visited Cabo de Palos off-season before and hadn’t noticed this restaurant—what a loss. Yesterday, on the last day of our holiday, we returned home after tasting incredible flavors. Time flew by without us even noticing. I highly recommend the arroz negro with their unique touch. Many thanks to the attentive staff. We’re looking forward to coming back. Please keep up this wonderful quality! <3

Incredible. Ate here in June 2024 with family. Incredible food, we had croquettes to start; that were amazing, we had a tomahawk steak, tune steak and squid ink paella for mains. All of it was incredible. We were lucky because we just turned up (early dinner) and they fitted us in. Staff were very welcoming and service was super quick. The décor, location and atmosphere of the place was perfect. It was so good, we went back a couple day later, unfortunately; they ran out of tuna steak, so we had another fish dish and again the food was incredible. Highly recommended! 2022: All the food here was amazing, the service was quick and the staff were welcoming. The location is nice and looks over the water. I had the steak and it was cooked perfectly. Highly recommended.

This was our first time at this restaurant and the four of us thoroughly enjoyed it. We asked the waiter for his recommendations (pork rice and local baked fish, cooked with vegetables) and he was spot on about that and the choice of white wine. The view is amazing. We sat outside overlooking the harbour, on the lower level, and there's more seating on the upper level and inside.

I hardly ever give 5 star reviews. However, this restaurant is a very special place for me. I absolutely love Cabo de Palos and this restaurant has never let me down. I always have a fantastic experience when I come here. The food is always too quality and importantly consistent, even over the many years I've been coming here. The food quality and service standards never dip. They obviously have a solid team and great owner or manager who can consistently deliver great results. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anybody I know friend, family or business acquaintance.

Great lunch. Lovely location, all the staff are 'on the ball' which in my experience is unusual in Spain. We had two good meals, red curry with king prawns and salmon with noodles Thai style. Located on the sea front, couldn't be better.

This is a favourite every time we visit Spain, the range of seafood on the menu is perfect and the quality of the food never lets us down. On this visit we decided to share the blue fin tuna loin, this arrives seared with a hotplate to finish cooking to your liking. The fish itself was incredible, and as a meal was a wonderful event. We took our 2 year old and 9 year old and the staff were so thoughtful and engaging to them making our experience even better. The atmosphere and decor within the restaurant is calm and refined and creates the perfect setting with the sun setting of the marina from the upstairs tables. 10/10 excellent, if you want great seafood this is the place in Cabo. There is nothing I wouldn't recommend on the menu.

Very nice food and Spanish rice. I had the best Caldero so far in the places I have visited in Spain. The service was very good. Will definitely visit again when I come to Cabo de Palos next time Update: The place is so great that we decided to drive there and have lunch for a second time before our flight

The food was delicious, but the menu description didn't reflect the food we got. We ordered the Calderon dish and was expecting some seafood in it but didn't get any. So I was a bit disappointed, as it was an expensive meal. The starter and the dessert was scrumptious though. I would go here again but probably order something else.

Wow! Fantastic Restaurant in the entrance of La Manga… we have enjoyed one of the best lunch ever… everything was delicious, well prepared and superior product quality, so fresh! We tried the fried octopus, the red tuna tataki, bacalao tortilla and the desserts were amazing! Well located easy access, thanks to the people working there for such warm welcome and service.

Fuimos a cenar y nos pusieron en una mesita en la segunda planta, se estaba bastante tranquilo y estuvimos agusto. Pedimos de entrantes marineros y unas croquetas de jamón y gambas. Como plato principal un calamar nacional frito y unas hamburguesa de ternera. Los fritos bien hechos sin estar aceitosos. La hamburguesa bien aunque algo seca, para mi gusto muy hecha. De precio muy bien.

Trato magnífico, comida muy buena, calidad precio muy bien! El sitio ubicado en muy buena zona por poner un pero nosotros estuvimos en la primera planta con vistas al mar precioso, pero pegaba el solete y pasamos un pelín de calor jeje aún así repetiremos sin duda!

Kimmy Kirck

This is a nice restaurant, and the service was very good. The fish was cooked well, I just wasn't a fan of what looked like frozen vegetables as a side. For this price, I would expect them to cook fresh vegetables. Octopus Catalan was super flavorful.

Wanja Bordewich

Amazing view and cozy interior/exterior. Service is great and location is perfect. We were Five persons and a child. Childs menu was great, but I think our dinner was expensive compared to what was served. A little more effort from the kitchen to higher the level of the food would give Five stars from med

Admito sentarme en una MINIMESA, ya que no tengo reserva y voy yo sola, me dicen que está todo reservado y no hay otra posibilidad. Como no es posible arroz para una sola persona, pido 2 raciones y pregunto si alguna de ellas puede ser media, ya que no me veo capaz de comerlo todo, me dicen que no; Pido una ensalada de tomate y ventresca, qué decepción de tomate, pensaba que la huerta murciana era top, y unos boquerones fritos, simplemente correctos, en ésa mínimesa apenas cabe nada y está resultando francamente incómodo comer allí. Pido pan y me traen una bandeja con 4 salsas distintas y un trocito de pan, que hay que acomodar muy difícilmente. A todo esto, son ya la 15.45 y quedan aún libres 3 mesas " normales" a mí alrededor. La comida está buena, el maitre que me acomoda al principio es correcto, el camarero al que luego tengo que pedir todo, pan...cubierto...es hasta antipático. En fin, si vas sola, sin reserva, vestida de playa y con un perro, te van a menospreciar. Al final seguramente he gastado más que la mayoría de los que allí estaban y he recibido peor atención. Ni voy a volver, ni lo recomiendo.

We’ve visited this restaurant several times, and our experiences ranged from delightful to downright disappointing. On our first visit, we stopped by for a light evening of tapas and were genuinely impressed. The flavors were well-executed, the service was swift and friendly, and the price-to-quality ratio left us pleasantly surprised. It was the kind of casual yet elevated dining experience that keeps you coming back for more. Two days later, we returned for lunch, and unfortunately, it was a completely different story. The tuna tataki, priced at €21, was borderline insulting. The slices were so thin you could almost read through them, and the dish lacked any sense of balance. The teriyaki sauce overwhelmed everything with cloying sweetness, and the guacamole felt out of place, tipping the plate into confusion. Together, the sauces outweighed the fish—literally and figuratively. It felt like the chef had completely missed the mark, with no harmony between flavors, let alone a hint of umami. The octopus dish also failed to deliver, with an odd flavor combination that just didn’t work. We raised our concerns, and while we appreciated the gesture of complimentary desserts, it didn’t quite make up for the €40 spent on two deeply disappointing dishes. For me, it’s not about the cost—I’m happy to pay for quality—but this was far from it. The desserts were decent, likely homemade, and tasted good, but they weren’t enough to salvage the overall experience. The service was also a mixed bag. One waitress was attentive, efficient, and brought a lovely energy to the table, while some of her colleagues seemed less enthusiastic about their roles. The setting, however, is undeniably charming. The view is beautiful, the seating is comfortable, and the ambiance has a relaxed, picturesque vibe. That said, on windy days, the outdoor area can feel a bit too brisk, and the presence of sparrows—while adding to the idyllic atmosphere—can become a nuisance when bird droppings make an unwelcome appearance. If I were to score it separately, the evening tapas experience would easily earn 4 to 4.5 out of 5. But the lunch service was a major letdown, barely scraping a 2 out of 5. With some improvements in consistency, there’s potential for this spot to shine, but as of now, it’s hit or miss.
