About Arrozante
Arrozante is a Mediterranean-style restaurant in Puerto Banús where rice dishes aren't an afterthought—they're the point. The dining room has warm wood furnishings and a calm atmosphere that cuts through the noise of the marina outside. Reviewers consistently praise the paella: seafood versions (scarlet prawns, lobster, langostinos), meat-forward options (pork cheeks with boletus mushrooms), and the flexibility to try 2 rice dishes in the same pan. The kitchen sources quality ingredients and cooks the rice to the point where the grain matters. Service is where this place separates itself—staff like Francisco, Marc, and Antonio are attentive without hovering, knowledgeable about the menu, and willing to guide you through options. Starters (tuna with tomato, burrata, fresh squid) work as proper openers, not filler. It's the kind of place where you sit down intending to eat and instead find yourself lingering.
What Stands Out
Rice that tastes like something
Multiple reviewers named specific paella versions: 'paella carrillada y boletus (pork cheeks and boletus rice) was really good', 'scarlet prawn rice was fantastic', 'the point of the rice' was praised for lobster paella. One reviewer noted: 'I heard Malaga is the second best place for paella and I heard correct.'
Staff who actually care
Francisco, Marc, Antonio, and Omar are named repeatedly across reviews with specific praise: 'Francisco was so attentive and warm throughout my meal, he really completed the experience', 'Marc, always pendiente de que no faltara nada' (always mindful nothing was missing), 'educadísimos, cercanos' (well-mannered and approachable).
Calm Mediterranean setting
Reviewers describe 'decoración mediterránea' with 'maderas y muebles cálidos que invitan a escapar del bullicio de fuera y sentarse a comer con calma y sosiego' (warm wood and furniture inviting you to escape the noise outside and eat with calm and peace).

Seafood versions (scarlet prawns, lobster, langostinos) and pork cheeks with boletus mushrooms are the ones reviewers name specifically and praise. You can order 2 different rice dishes in the same pan if you want to compare.
Both. Francisco, Marc, and Antonio are named repeatedly for being attentive without hovering, offering genuine recommendations, and remembering details. One reviewer noted they were 'cercanos y atento en todo momento' (close and attentive throughout).
No online booking is available through the system, so call or walk in. Given the 4.8-star rating and repeat clientele, arriving early (before lunch or dinner rush) is safer.
Mediterranean interior with warm wood and calm décor—designed to feel like an escape from the marina bustle outside. Full during service but not loud or rushed. Reviewers describe it as 'acogedor' (welcoming).
Yes, but manage expectations. Tuna with tomato and burrata are mentioned as 'average' by one reviewer, but fresh squid and calamares get specific praise. They're openers, not the main event.
