La Blava Restaurante

Seafood and rice by the port

La Blava's cooking follows the Mediterranean setting of Burriana's port. Its menu moves from small plates such as patatas bravas, mussels, squid, cuttlefish, and grilled sardines to fish, shellfish, rice dishes, and fideua, the noodle-based cousin of paella cooked in a shallow pan.

That range makes the restaurant work for a table that wants to begin with a few seafood tapas before settling on a rice dish to share. The current menu notes that rice and fideua are served at midday and require advance ordering, a useful detail for anyone planning the meal around those specialties.
