Restaurante La Perla Negra

Restaurante La Perla Negra in Comillas sits just a stone’s throw from the beach, making it a relaxed spot where locals and visitors alike come to enjoy Cantabrian flavors alongside some hearty, approachable dishes. With a menu that blends traditional seafood paellas and grilled chipirones with comfort-food staples like gourmet burgers and tallarines with gulas and gambas, it caters well to groups or families looking for variety without sacrificing quality.

The atmosphere leans casual but attentive, with friendly staff who often engage visitors beyond just taking orders — sharing local tips and creating a welcoming vibe whether you’re settling in after a day exploring or grabbing a leisurely drink by the waterfront. The outdoor terrace is particularly dog-friendly, offering shade and fresh air, which resonates well during sunny afternoons or early evenings when the town slows down a bit.

Expect a place that balances tradition and everyday enjoyment. Whether you’re after shellfish in a classic arroz negro or craving a burger stacked with bacon, cheese, and guacamole, La Perla Negra serves it all in a way that feels unpretentious and rooted in local dining routines. Visiting in the later afternoon or early evening can bring a lively yet relaxed pace — the kind that invites casual lingering, conversations with the staff, and watching the tide roll in just beyond the windows.
