Arroceria Maese Pio
About
Maese Pío is a celebrated Levantine rice specialist situated in Granada’s historic center, just steps from the cathedral and the bustling Mercado de Abastos San Agustín. Since 1998, master cook Pedro Lluch has brought Mediterranean flavors to Spain, using only the finest Bomba rice from the Valencia region. The restaurant features an airy terrace shaded by an ancient fig tree and an intimate, warm interior that feels like home. Patrons enjoy a menu that blends classic paella and caldereta with inventive variations—from traditional “Arroz a banda” to the vibrant “Arroz con marisco del día.” Every plate reflects the chefs’ dedication to freshness and improvisation.
