About
Basque restaurant in Alcossebre, on the Azahar coast, Castellón. Also, specialising in paellas. Valencian paella and transgressive paellas. Restaurant where you can eat well, near Peñíscola, close to the Serra d'Irta Natural Park, very close to the beach. A quiet place, off the beaten tourist track, with a careful cuisine developed by José Mari, who has been feeding people for more than 20 years. Trained in the gastronomic societies of Bizkaia (Txokos), he has now become the Basque who makes paellas. In Alcossebre, together with Ana and Asier, they have created a special place that is a little piece of Euskadi in the heart of the Mediterranean.

Even though we've coming to Alcossebre for 10 years + we'd never eaten here before. We had tried to book a couple of times during the summers, but it is usually very busy, and now we have finally eaten here we understand why. Everything about the lunch was exceptional. Service was very friendly and attentive, the staff speak English if your Spanish isn't so good. We asked for a wine recommendation to go with our paella and it was spot on. I don't really have a sweet tooth and rarely eat deserts, but had my arm twisted and was not disappointed. I had read reviews about the cheesecake and what can I say, they were correct, it was fab. I can't wait to eat here again.

Thanks a lot, NeilT1623. It is really nice to read such a wonderful review. English people not always understand our way of working. But as we always say: gastronomy is an international language, everybody can enjoy it. Thanks. We hope to see you back.

I’m rarely one to post reviews but I feel like I should have done this three years ago (when I first ate here), as it should get all the credit it deserves.
Whatever dish you try, the food is exceptional. Furthermore, what takes this place to the next level is the service. The staff are welcoming, charming, and have have great knowledge and passion for their food.
They will go out of their way to describe each dish to you and the drinks that compliment said dishes.
I would consider the paella to be their signature dish(es). However, it was only recently that we stumbled across their cheesecake and honestly have not tried another one that comes close to it. You may even be able to get the recipe if you ask nicely.
An outstanding restaurant that I hope continues its success in Alcossebre (and its well earned break in the off-season).
Muchas gracias Taberna Pikapote. Hasta la proxima vex…

We had seen the reviews about this restaurant and finally we were able to go with Reservation, offering a free table, at 10:30 am. Frankly, our expectations have been well met. Asier, Table Manager, in addition to a Great Pro, advises you not to overdo the dishes, which honors him, because they might not say anything and that the bill will increase, but rightly suggests you not to overdo it asking
Dishes. The dining room very nice, outside, adorned with plants and trees. Everything we ordered was great. We have tried some tuna tacos with soy and ginger that were extraordinary and tickets with foie and yolk that is a delight for the palate. Finally we have finished with a typical Basque dessert, goxua, that was to suck your fingers. We have been to Alcossebre for several days, we have gone to other restaurants and it is certainly the best to date. Congratulations on the work and delicate treatment. I'm sure we'll be back.

The Taverna Pikapote is a place that stands out in all aspects. The service is impeccable; from the moment you enter, the team makes you feel welcome with their friendliness and professionalism. The treatment you receive is first class, always attentive to every detail and willing to make sure you have a memorable experience. But what really takes the palms is the food: each dish is an explosion of flavors, perfectly crafted and elegantly presented. It is clearly cooked with passion and dedication. It’s definitely a place you’ll want to go back to again and again.
WE WILL REPEAT 👌🏻

Now I understand the fame and reviews of the Pikapote Tavern. After several years wanting to come to the end, the stars have been aligned, and we have been able to test their rice. In our case, the honeyed fish, scallions, boletus and tender garlic and a few zamburiñas as a starter. We finished the job with a great homemade cheesecake. The quality of the product is noticeable in the league and especially the love they put into what they make, from cooking to service. Deal fence, exquisite and without pedantries, well advised at all times, not to ask for more, and a value for money more than right. In short, the first time and surely not the last. Congratulations on the good work.
The aunt and the Sanguango, they have eaten category.

Very good experience from the moment we called to reserve, until we left the restaurant!
Highlights include the squid, the octopus, the monkfish paella and the cheesecake!
Very close attention from Alba and Asier, thanks for the recommendations!
To appreciate that they say the prices of the options outside the menu and that they stop you from ordering too much.
We will return without a doubt!!

Basque-Mediterranean cuisine on an ideal terrace. Proximity product.
The rice is excellent, we ordered black rice with txipiron, clòtxin and red prawn.
Good boletus with foie and yolk, and blizzard carpaccio with garlic and miparra.

Lovely restaurant/bar in Alcossebre. Only open at weekends in April. Tapas and main courses- mix of fish, meat, vegetarian. Fish cooking was wonderful. Stuffed small peppers as starter were lovely

The reservation service is terrible. I called and they told me that everything was full and they did not give me the option of another day even though I insisted. Maybe they have it full day and night throughout the month of August, I'm happy for them, but I don't think so. Anyway, we will go to another place that wants us as clients.

Miguel Ángel M. Veo que no ha conseguido mesa en nuestro restaurante. Nos sabe muy mal pero, tal y como le hemos comentado por teléfono, tenemos lleno a quince días vista (es agosto). Preguntamos hasta cuándo se quedan en Alcossebre, precisamente, para ofrecer el primer hueco disponible, que entendemos no siempre les va bien. Me resulta difícil creer que ni Alba ni Asier le hayan colgado sin ofrecerle opciones; quizá es que las que le ofrecieron, no le venían bien,lo cual es comprensible.

Everything ok. We had squid and octopus for dinner to share and then we continued with Galician beef finishing with cheesecake. Everything was great from the food to the treats. Good wine list. Congratulations and greetings from Calatayud and don't forget the old vineyards wine Baltasar Gracian D.O. Calatayud.

Definitely worth a visit!! We went twice during one week! Awesome food, awesome team who work there. No complaints whatsoever! Enjoyed Paella on one visit, one of the best I've ever had. Then on the next visit we tried the full menu and it didn't disappoint! Please visit the place if you can!
