The story
On Avenida del Puerto, steps from the beach in the Grao district, Tasca del Puerto has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026 by staying true to the maritime heritage of Castelló de la Plana. This is a seafood restaurant with deep roots: its kitchen draws directly from the lonja (local fish market) and interprets the flavours of the Mediterranean with clarity and confidence.
Chef Reme Domínguez has been in the kitchen for more than twenty years. The restaurant describes her as “curious, free and tremendously creative” – a spirit that translates into a cuisine that is refined yet full of fantasy, never minimalist or gimmicky. In the dining room, head of service Nacho Boix works with naturalness and professionalism, believing that “diners should take away more than just a full stomach.” Together they create an experience that feels both personal and generous.
Tasca del Puerto is first and foremost a marisquería (seafood restaurant) with a speciality in rice dishes. Their “arroz del senyoret” (a traditional fisherman’s rice with peeled shellfish) appears on the gallery as a signature dish. Other offerings visible in their photo archive include Mediterranean razor clams (navajas), sea urchin gratinéed in its own shell, and lobster from the local auction. The approach is Mediterranean, grounded in the traditions of the Grao, but with a personal and contemporary touch.
The restaurant also offers paellas monumentales for events and a cooking classroom where Chef Domínguez shares her philosophy – starting from tradition then mixing flavours from around the world in a “sabrosa y divertida” combination.
Located beachfront with outdoor seating, Tasca del Puerto is a place where refinement meets relaxed hospitality. The dining room is air-conditioned; service is available for lunch and dinner, and the space can accommodate private parties and catering. The décor and service aim to create “momentos inolvidables” – unforgettable moments – rather than mere meals.
For anyone seeking authentic Mediterranean seafood in Castelló de la Plana, Tasca del Puerto delivers cooking that is both faithful to its maritime roots and propelled by creative curiosity.
