Heritage with no filter: traditional Santa Pola cuisine with a modern, rebellious touch.
In Santa Pola, you don't just cook — you breathe the sea. Our approach is born from absolute respect for what we learned from our elders: the exact point of the rice, the freshness of Santa Pola fish just off the boat, and the value of lingering at the table after a meal.
We haven't come to reinvent this cuisine, we've come to honour it.
Why "Maleante" (rascal)? That's what our grandfather used to call us, because we dare to play with what's sacred. We take that traditional foundation and give it a modern, cheeky twist.
We apply modern techniques and surprising presentations so you can taste the flavour you've always known, with an emotion you weren't expecting.
We didn't open our doors to be just another restaurant in Santa Pola. We want you to rediscover what you already knew, be surprised by the technique, and leave with the taste of our heritage burned into memory.
