La Mejillonera is, without a doubt, a must-visit for anyone exploring the center of Benidorm. This restaurant has earned its fame thanks to a masterful specialization in its star product: mussels. Served in an impressive variety of sauces—from the classic marinara or steamed to spicy options, with alioli or gratin—they are the perfect appetizer to share in an authentic atmosphere.

Located on the lively Paseo de la Carretera street, the venue offers that traditional seafood tavern atmosphere where fresh produce is the main star. In addition to its famous seafood platters, the menu features outstanding seafood rice dishes, fideuás, and perfectly executed fried fish, maintaining a value-for-money ratio that makes it a favorite for both locals and tourists looking for a great meal in the Old Town.

It is the ideal spot for a family meal or a casual dinner after an afternoon stroll. If you are looking for that timeless flavor in a setting full of character and an unbeatable location, La Mejillonera represents the most traditional and genuine side of Benidorm's gastronomy.
