Bib Gourmand 3

Le Bistrot Gastronómico

Bib Gourmand€€Fusion

An unpretentious, friendly and informal restaurant whose aim is for diners to discover culinary pleasures in good company; in fact, this is reflected in its motto: ‘To share is to enjoy’. Owner-chef Silvia Vives is committed to contemporary cuisine that combines flavours and ingredients from different parts of the world (with clear influences from both European and Japanese gastronomy) to create consistent dishes showcasing delicate textures and meticulous presentation. The service revolves around two surprise tasting menus: Mini gastro and Viajero (the latter only with prior reservation).

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.7/5 · 80 reviews

Le Bistrot Gastronómico in Castelló de la Plana offers fusion cuisine with generally high ratings. Reviewers frequently praise the food quality, professional presentation, and cozy atmosphere, noting attentive service and engaging interactions with staff. However, negative feedback highlights concerns over value, citing small portions, basic ingredients, and high prices relative to expectations. Some diners expressed dissatisfaction with the fixed tasting menu format, which lacks choice and excludes beverages or desserts. While meal pacing and pricing are points of contention, the overall experience remains positive for many, balancing culinary creativity with occasional service inconsistencies.

Suitable for diners seeking creative fusion cuisine who are less price-sensitive.

IZAKAYA Tasca Japonesa

Bib Gourmand€Japanese, Fusion

If a total immersion in popular Japanese cuisine sounds appealing, this small, modest and informal 'tasca'-style eatery (with space for just 16 guests) will fit the bill, thanks to its pure Japanese cuisine featuring including powerful and intense flavours. Chef Sergio Ortega enjoys explaining each dish to his customers as well as relating interesting anecdotes from his many trips to Japan (mainly Tokyo). He offers a single surprise tasting menu (from among 12 different ones, depending on time of day and day of the week) with more of a focus on hot dishes (ramen, gyoza, edemame, stews, etc.) t

Arre

Bib Gourmand€€Contemporary, Traditional Cuisine

Located in the heart of town, Arre occupies a rustic property with no little history behind it – it is said that it is the oldest civic building in Castelló de la Plana, with large arches that were part of its ancient walls and an oven (only decorative these days) that dates back to the 14C. Owner-chef Pedro Salas invites guests to discover the flavours of this area albeit from a modern perspective. His cuisine is centred around several menus: Senda (the most traditional option, on which you can choose between the arroz al horno (a rice dish baked in the oven) and the Torrà grilled dish, the c

Anhelo

€€Contemporary, Creative

The heart and soul of this small eatery in the centre of town is owner-chef Cristian Granero, who began his career in the restaurant business as a baker and pastry chef, both of which served as a good apprenticeship before he moved to the kitchen stoves. His cuisine, the aim of which, in his own words, is to ‘wake up the senses and connect with the emotions’, is based around three menus: D'Uixó, Sentidos and Anhelo. The restaurant also boasts a kitchen that is visible to guests seated at one of its five tables. Because of these restricted numbers, it’s well worth booking ahead. We were very pl

Alessandro Maino

€€International

In this centrally located restaurant, with its contemporary ambience, you'll find an interesting international approach, with nods to the countries where the chef trained (his native Italy, France, Switzerland and Spain) before settling, for love, in this city. They offer à la carte service (we particularly liked the prawns in different textures) and balanced menus, a lunch menu that varies according to the number of starters and a tasting menu (it has 11 dishes explained in detail) that must be booked in advance.

Tasca del Puerto

€€Seafood

A family-run restaurant, with mum in the kitchen and her son in the dining room, where the love for gastronomy is felt in every detail. They offer, through the à la carte service and their set menus (Menu of the Day and Gourmet Tasting), a product-based cuisine with a marked seafood flavour, very focused on rice dishes and stews (minimum two portions), fresh fish from the fish market and seafood (some by weight).

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.0/5 · 80 reviews

Tasca del Puerto, located in the Grao of Castellón, specializes in seafood and rice dishes. Reviews frequently praise the high quality of ingredients, particularly the bluefin tuna sashimi and 'band' rice, describing the atmosphere as warm and home-like. Service is generally noted as attentive and friendly, with some highlighting the chef's subtlety. However, negative feedback points to inconsistent food quality, including overcooked lobster and undercooked fish, alongside issues with meal pacing. Value is a contentious topic; while some find it reasonable, others report shock at high prices for off-menu recommendations, such as expensive clams and octopus, leading to perceptions of poor value despite the quality of staples.

Suitable for diners seeking authentic seafood rice who verify all prices before ordering.
