Caught just hours before, the sardines are grilled on a high-temperature plancha until the skin is crispy and the meat remains succulent. They are finished with a classic 'verde' sauce of olive oil, garlic, and fresh parsley.
Tips from diners
These are the hallmark of Lluritu. They are simple but the quality of the fish is what makes them better than almost anywhere else in the city.
High-quality local prawns are flash-grilled with just a touch of extra virgin olive oil and coarse Maldon salt. The high heat caramelizes the shells while leaving the meat tender and sweet.
Tips from diners
Suck the heads! That's where all the concentrated flavor is. Don't be afraid to use your hands.
A traditional fisherman's dish featuring a variety of tiny, fresh fish lightly dusted in flour and deep-fried until crunchy. It's meant to be eaten whole as a snack.
Tips from diners
They are like seafood chips. Great for sharing at the start of the meal while you wait for the larger grilled items.
Large, meaty razor clams are cleaned meticulously and grilled briefly on the plancha. They are dressed with a vibrant sauce of garlic, parsley, and high-quality olive oil.
Tips from diners
The seasoning is very light, letting the sweetness of the clams shine. Perfect with a glass of crisp local white wine.
Galeras (mantis shrimp) are known for their incredibly sweet, oceanic stock. The rice is cooked in a thin layer with this concentrated stock and served with grilled galeras on top. It's a true 'insider' rice dish known for its intense flavor.
Tips from diners
The flavor is actually more intense than traditional prawn paella. Note that the mantis shrimp themselves can be difficult to peel, so socialized on the rice flavor.
Lluritu (named after a type of Mediterranean fish) has quickly built a cult following for its stripped-back approach to seafood. The space is minimalist and the focus is entirely on the quality of the product, mostly prepared on a high-temperature 'plancha' or grill with minimal intervention.
The restaurant is very popular and fills up fast. Book the 'Lluritu 2' location nearby if the first one is full — they are almost identical in quality.
The service is fast and efficient, but not fancy. It's all about the food. Stand at the bar if you're on your own for a great view of the grill.
