Red Pepper

★★★★½ 4.5 · (293 reviews)

Red Pepper on Calle Ribera is one of the most relaxed tables on the marina strip. The frontline terrace, the charcoal grill, the mezze to share and it’s the kind of place where lunch turns into the afternoon without anyone noticing. The slow-cooked lamb and calamari are the dishes to order. Unpretentious, consistent and genuinely welcoming.
