Located in the Plaza de Oriente, La Lonja del Mar has already become one of the favorite restaurants of the King and Queen of Spain. A place of ‘haute seafood cuisine’ specializing in fish and seafood with a creative twist that, beyond its gastronomy, stands out for its exceptional views of the Royal Palace of the capital.

After strolling through the streets of the city in a cheerful and smiling manner, Felipe VI and Letizia would sit at one of their tables to enjoy some of their favorite dishes. A few hours earlier, the princess would be seen with some friends in a beach bar located in the town of Velez.

In the high-end seafood restaurant, the King and Queen were able to taste their gastronomic proposal based on high quality fresh products through a feast of clams, oysters, white prawns from Huelva or their famous Monster XXL crayfish. In addition, they have exquisite vegetable or meat dishes, in addition to the restaurant’s classics such as tuna tartar or crab lasagna from the estuary.
