Cantina, Goodrington

You're heading down Young's Park Road towards Goodrington, and suddenly there's somewhere that feels properly different from the usual seafront chain restaurants. Cantina serves up Spanish and Mediterranean dishes that go beyond paella and tapas platters—though they do those too, and well. The place has gathered a serious following (over 1,200 reviews can't be wrong), and it's because they've clearly thought about flavour rather than just ticking boxes. It's the kind of spot where locals actually eat, not somewhere you stumble into because it's raining and you need shelter.
