La Matandeta is the only restaurant set in the rice paddies of the Albufera Nature Reserve, a unique place where the landscape changes throughout all four seasons of the year.

It's very close to El Saler beach, the Devesa forest and the Albufera lagoon. The restaurant is also only 15 minutes from the City of Arts and Sciences and 20 minutes from Manises airport.

Our family has been in the restaurant business since 1991, the year we opened La Matandeta after refurbishing the old farmhouse owned by our father and grandfather Manuel Baixauli Romeu, known as "Matanda".

Alicante's central coastline: from San Joan d'Alacant to Elx

While further north the garbí, that wind that rises at noon and, rolling west, fades with the sunset, is king, in these lands the libeccio breeze.
