Casa Jaime
A family-run rice and seafood restaurant founded by a fisherman in 1967, holding one Repsol Sun. Its signature Calabuch rice pays tribute to an old film shot here.
Fisherman Jaime Sanz started in 1967 with a small tavern in the old town. In 1982 the restaurant moved to Paseo Papa Luna 5, at the start of the northern beach, and it is now run by two generations of the family. It holds one Sun from the Spanish Repsol Guide. The seafood comes mainly from the local fishing port's daily auction. The signature Arroz Calabuch takes its name from Berlanga's 1956 film Calabuch, shot in Peñíscola. There is also a sailor's rice made with the day's catch, and a cellar of over 200 wines. Diners can see the castle and the sea. Prices are around €40–80 per person, and phone reservations are recommended (bookings taken 9:30–13:00). Closed Tuesday evenings, all day Wednesday and Sunday evenings.
