Muy recomendable, carta adaptada 💯 % sin gluten, pedimos paella cántabra, rabas sin gluten y zamburiñas y la verdad que espectacular. Lo mejor de todo el trato del dueño es muy atento y agradable, cuando vaya por la zona volveré seguro.

Impresionante este Lugar , el cocido y el arroz espectacular ....gracias .

La atención por parte del dueño del establecimiento un 10, nos hizo sentir super cómodos, el arroz con bogavante un 20, estuvo espectacular. Lo recomiendo muchísimo este sitio.

Un año más escogimos Restaurante Abanda para nuestra cena de navidad y como siempre de maravilla. Arroz impresionante , croquetas deliciosas, tartar de 10! Mi preferido!!! El pescado muy fresco y en su punto perfecto. El servicio inmejorable. Gracias al este equipazo!

Gran experiencia. Un sitio muy acogedor, sobre todo por su personal. Comimos de 10, nos prepararon mesa a pesar de estar lleno, buena tertulia con clientes y dueños ( Muy racinguistas 👏👏). Nos sentimos como en casa . Un abrazo desde Zaragoza y que subáis lo antes posible a 1@

Fin de semana de partido Racing contra Mirandés, muy buen ambiente en un día soleado. Decidimos entrar en este local por las paellas. Un acierto la recomendación de Diego ( nos trató muy bien y nos dio muy buen servicio ), con el arroz meloso de cachón y langostino. Acompañado de chipirones y zamburiñas, que han sido un acierto también. Muchas gracias por el servicio a todos y por el detalle del chupito. Para cuando vuelva espero conocer a Amaya.😄 Un placer.

Amazing food and fab service. Worth booking. The place was heaving at lunch. Paella outstanding. Mussells and prawns to die for. Would recommend to anyone visiting area.

Isaac Knight

Had an incredible experience here! Everything from the food, atmosphere and especially the service. The guy who served us was so incredibly helpful, he spoke great English and helped us understand the food better. Just a great guy! The seafood paella was to die for! And so was everything else. 100% would recommend. Great spot!

Amazing rice dishes, the best cheesecake (gluten free as well) and terrific service. Everything was freshly prepared with the finest ingredients. Highly recommend!

Agata Wojtkowska

We really enjoyed our delicious paella and the service was so friendly - thank you! Great homely atmosphere, nice music, and yes - an exceptional cheesecake that I'll always remember. We even received a complimentary local liquier to try :) If we come back to Santander we'll visit again. Un abrazo!

We had an amazing experience habing lunch on this place. We were looking for a place where to eat typical food from the region and they welcome us with super tasty food. The waiter Juan was very kind and recommend dishes for all the family. Baked cheese cake was delicious! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Bill Abraham

Wow !!! The best paella 🥘 EVER !! In Santander for the day (on a cruise) and found this amazing family run restaurant. Brilliant service and very kind to us Inglese, even though our Spanish was hopeless. Meat and seafood Paella for 5 and vegan paella for 2 - just unbelievably tasty. Lovely friendly service and then we got cheesecake made by the manager’s Mum !! You have to visit !! 🥰

George Wilson

Recommended to us. Took a while to find it, had lunch before flying home. Service brilliant, we don't have Spanish, she didn't have English, but we got there with a few laughs. Wonderful. Food beyond good, roast lamb on the bone, & paella: stunningly good. You'd walk past this place of you were looking for a great meal, but don't! Go in, have a great experience.

Transport yourself to a taste of Spain at this delightful spot, where the paella steals the show! Each flavorful grain of saffron-infused rice, paired with a medley of fresh seafood and savory spices, creates a symphony of taste that lingers in memory. A paella perfection that deserves applause!

Andy Lee

Came here on a Thursday afternoon. They start serving food at 1pm. This place is a must go! Very tasty paella and service with a smile. Come here and you won't regret it!

Debra Ward

Visited without a reservation, not long after they’d opened for the night (open at 8pm) and were the first through the door although there were locals sat on stools outside. Our waiter spoke very good English and was welcoming. The food arrived quite quickly and was delicious! We were persuaded to try the ‘best cheesecake in Santander’ and it didn’t disappoint. The Paella was the star of the show, and we didn’t finish it as it’s a very generous portion. The staff all seemed intent on checking that we were/had enjoyed, which we did. Go if you get a chance.

One of the best Paella restaurants in the whole of Santander. They have the specialist rice and cook every paella fresh to order. The calamari is absolutely delicious and the whole experience is superb. I would highly recommend a visit here and make sure you try the traditional paella its out of this world. Lots of choices for all dietary restrictions

Amelia A

The best restaurant for paella! The staff is amazingly friendly and the price is not that pricey! I 100% recommend this place! 😍

Decidimos comer aquí en nuestra visita a Santander y fue un acierto. El servicio fue excelente, súper amables y atentos todo el rato. Pedimos rabas, parrillada de verduras y un especial de la carta: albondigas de rape. Estaba todo exquisito, el único pero es que las albondigas de rape venían un pelin aceitosas pero de sabor, estupendas! Se notaba que todo era casero y hecho al momento Todo esto nos salió por unos 46 euros, muy bien de precio también (para dos personas) 🖤

El restaurante ofrece una experiencia culinaria centrada en la preparación de diversos arroces. Durante nuestra visita, tuvimos la oportunidad de probar tres variedades: el arroz con bogavante resultó excepcional, resaltando por su exquisito sabor. El arroz cántabro y el arroz con carne (cuyo nombre no recordamos) también formaron parte de nuestra selección. El establecimiento posee un encanto nostálgico, con una decoración que nos transporta a los años 80 y techos ligeramente más bajos de lo habitual. Sin embargo, uno de los puntos negativos de la experiencia fueron las croquetas, que a pesar de recibir recomendaciones, resultaron ser de sobre y de la marca "Cocinera". En resumen, se ofrece una buena propuesta de arroces por 20 - 25 euros por persona y con destacados sabores, aunque algunos elementos no estuvieron a la altura. El servicio fue muy amable y nos invitaron a unos chupitos al final.

We had a lovely dinner last night all together. We got some fried squid as an appetiser, really tasty and then two portions of paella to share: one cantanbrica and one with just seafood. Amazing food for a really good price and our server was really polite and kind. The place could use a little remodelling but can’t recommend this place enough. Would visit again

Emir Ç.

So friendly, tasty, quality is nice (portions are big for the paella so don’t go crazy while you order haha)

ZongYen Lim

The waitress is friendly. She tried to communicate even though she doesn’t understand English. The food is nice and not expensive. I ordered the mixed paella, rabas and scallops.

Gabriela Havrankova

Not a very nice place to go as the food is quite plain and very expensive! In the menu they claim the price 16 Euros for two portions of paella and than charged us 16 Euros each. The waiter opened bottles of wine without us asking for them and than he charged us for them. Not a very pleasant experience.

La experiencia en A Banda Arroz fue muy decepcionante. Nos sirvieron unas rabas en mal estado, con olor y sabor claramente caducados. Al comentarlo, lo más sorprendente fue que reconocieron que ya se habían dado cuenta el día anterior, pero aun así decidieron sacarlas. Además, el cocido montañés resultó bastante mediocre, sin sabor ni calidad a la altura de lo esperado. Un restaurante tiene una responsabilidad directa, incluso penal, en la seguridad alimentaria de sus clientes. Servir comida en mal estado es inaceptable y transmite una gran falta de profesionalidad y cuidado. Una experiencia muy negativa que genera desconfianza y que, desde luego, NO recomiendo.

Estamos de tapeo vermut y al terminarse la tapa de paella, nos han puesto aceitunas, ricas. Hemos pedido por probar zamburiñas a 2,50€ y no estaban buenas . El tamaño pequeño y sabor casi pasadas. El vermú de barril muy bueno.
