With its simple look, missable façade and paper tablecloths, Kaiku looks a world apart from the upmarket seafood restaurants that pepper this barrio, but its dishes are sophisticated takes on the seaside classics. At Kaiku a salad starter comes with shavings of foie gras or red fruit vinaigrette, and paella is given a rich and earthy spin with wild mushrooms. Book ahead, particularly for any chance of one of the terrace tables looking out across the beach.
