Centenary rice restaurant in Dénia
La Giralda, a rice restaurant in Dénia with over a hundred years
Venta La Giralda is a family rice restaurant in Dénia, in the Bovetes district. It started over a hundred years ago as an inn on the old Dénia road and today it is run by the fifth generation of the same family, with market produce and homemade broths.
Its menu revolves around rice: 22 rice dishes and paellas, from black rice and 'a banda' to lobster rice, fideuás and local starters like 'mullaoret' or 'coques de dacsa'. The website had to tell that century of history and put the menu on the mobile of whoever is looking for where to eat a paella.

Websites for rice restaurants and restaurants in Dénia
In Dénia, whoever looks for where to eat a rice dish checks the menu on their mobile before calling. I make websites for restaurants in Dénia and Marina Alta with the menu inside the website, which Google can read, and one-touch booking. And so they can find you on the map, here you have how to appear on Google Maps in Dénia.

The starting point
La Giralda has been making rice dishes in Dénia for over a hundred years, but its menu lived on paper. Whoever was looking for where to eat a paella and entered from mobile couldn't find the dishes or a clear way to book: they ended up calling during peak hours or choosing another place.
The solution
A restaurant website with the complete menu laid out by sections within the page itself —not a PDF that needs to be zoomed in with fingers—, table booking and pickup orders, plus the history of the house, which in a century-old business sells as much as the dishes.
How it was done
- We organized what someone who enters is really looking for: what to eat, how much it costs, and how to book.
- Proprietary design on WordPress and Elementor Pro, starting with the mobile screen.
- Menu loaded dish by dish, with its price and allergens, so Google can read it.
- Booking and order for pickup with one touch, with direct call to the restaurant.
- Technical SEO, texts, and legal pages before publishing.
How it turned out
Today the menu can be read at a glance on mobile, the customer reserves or orders their rice with one touch and the restaurant appears on Google for what it really sells: rice dishes and paellas in Dénia.
