Welcome

Paellas, tapas and sharing boards on Altea's seafront promenade

La Tablería is a restaurant with a terrace on Altea's seafront promenade: a board of tapas in the middle of the table, a paella arriving still steaming and the Mediterranean three steps away. Honest Mediterranean cooking, produce from the bay and online booking in under a minute.

The speciality

Paellas and rice dishes with a name of their own

Rice is our way of understanding the table: unhurried, rich and cooked to order. Four rice dishes, minimum two people, a 30-minute wait that's worth every second: no need to order in advance.

Per-person prices approved by the house (August 2026).

For sharing

Tapas a medida, just as the name says

Pick your tapas and we'll build your board: that's the house way. Our speciality, the La Tablería board, serves up to 6 people: up to a metre and a half of tapas in the middle of the table.

Who we are

A house run by a couple

Guillaume and Sandy discovered Altea on holiday and came back six months later to stay, with their daughter, their cat and their dog. Since 2017, their Tablería has been a family bodega by the sea: simple, generous cooking and the joy of sharing.

We want every guest to get up from the table the way you get up from Sunday lunch: happy, unhurried and already planning to come back.

The terrace: front row on the Mediterranean

White parasols, the promenade balustrade and the sea beyond. In Altea, the best table is the one facing the horizon.
