El Capricho Gastrobar sits in Costa Ballena’s centro commercial Áncora, a step away from the beach scene, with a more composed feel than the nearby chiringuitos. It’s the kind of place people choose when they want a proper sit-down meal rather than something straight off the sand.
The menu mixes Spanish classics with Japanese and fusion touches — retinto burgers alongside sushi and seafood — which sounds broad but works surprisingly well. It suits groups with different tastes, where some lean towards meat, others towards lighter dishes, and everyone shares a bit of everything.
More polished than most local options, but without feeling formal. It works well in the evening, when the room fills and the pace slows into a proper dinner setting rather than a quick meal.
