Fantastic and chic vegetarian / vegan restaurant near the seafront, across the road from Torrevieja marina. Even the meat eaters among us were very satisfied with our meals! There are a few tables on the street outside for outdoor dining. Interior decor, atmosphere, great service, surprising menu, delicious food for all.

Good food with outside dining in a waterfront location just outside of Torrevieja. On a rocky shoreline near Playa Flamenca, Nautilus offers good quality seafood and tapas with sweeping views across the bay to Torrevieja centre. Quite pricey but a nice evening out.
