Top Restaurants in Murcia

You are here: Home / Local Area / Top Restaurants in Murcia

Spanish food culture is one of the most renowned aspects of Spain’s enviable lifestyle. The country has over 200 restaurants with at least one star in the Michelin Guide, most of them offering culinary delicacies that are significantly different from the rest of Europe. Lunch tends to be the most important meal of the day, often extending into long hours of talking, gossiping, drinking and sorting the world out after the actual eating is finished. The Spaniards have a name for this: “sobremesa“, roughly translating as “table talk” or “after-dinner conversation”.

Travellers are spoilt for choice, from delicious tapas to grilled fish served almost straight from the boat – or a cheap “menu del día” (“menu of the day”) available on just about every street corner and beachfront throughout Spain.

For this guide, however, we have sourced 12 top restaurants in the area that have been listed in the Michelin Guide. They range from a two-star restaurant in El Palmar to an innovative fusion tapas bar in Molino del Seguro. They are all well worth going the extra mile to experience, because what they have in common is an intense and compelling passion for food – and a desire to share that passion with discerning diners.

Cabaña Buenavista

Chef Pablo González and his team reign supreme at this restaurant nestled between Murcia city and the El Valle y Carrascoy regional park. The ambience, chef’s personality and exceptionally crafted dishes and wine list earned the restaurant its first Michelin star in 2010, followed by a second in 2017. Every detail of this charming restaurant makes a visit to Cabaña Buenavista a wonderful experience.

Restaurante Malvasia

This elegant and modern restaurant serves creative and contemporary dishes accompanied by a wide variety of excellent wines. It is located in an apartment building near the Mar Menor and run by chef José Fuentes and his team. Don’t be deceived by the drab exterior, as it does not represent the quality of the food and service on offer. The restaurant has been awarded a Bib Gourmand distinction.

Where: Calle Julieta Orbaiceta 6, Playa Honda, 30385 Cartagena

Reservations: +34 968 145 073

Restaurante El Sordo

In the heart of the Ricote Valley is chef Jesús Ortega’s attractive, family-run restaurant. They serve good-tasting traditional cuisine with mostly locally grown products (including game when it is in season), and they have an excellent wine cellar. Enough reason to honour El Sordo with a Bib Gourmand distinction.

Where: Avda. Alharbona, 30610 Ricote

Reservations: +34 968 697 150

Restaurante La Cerdanya

La Cerdanya is a small restaurant with a rustic, family ambience, located in the Los Dolores area of Cartagena. Chef Juan Regis Espinosa has become quite famous for his stews, prepared slowly in the traditional way, ensuring that the traditional Catalan cuisine is full of flavour. There are only five tables available at the Bib Gourmand restaurant, so reservations are recommended.

Restaurante El Albero

Run by chef Tomas Écija and his enthusiastic team, this restaurant has a solid reputation for its updated traditional cuisine with an oriental touch. It has an à la carte dining area, a bar-bodega zone for an informal menu of the day, and a terrace. Classic dishes such as cod balls (“rocas de bacalao“) and ravioli with pork from local Chato Murciano pigs are well worth trying.
