Experience the vibrant spirit of Spain in the heart of St Helier at Arroz, Jersey’s premier destination for authentic Mediterranean dining. This stylish restaurant is the latest venture from the renowned Francisco "Paco" Lora and his daughter Sophia, who have combined their passion for Spanish hospitality with years of local expertise.
Guests can watch the magic happen in the open theatre kitchen, where traditional paellas are expertly prepared over a bespoke brick stand, bringing a true taste of Valencia to the Channel Islands.
From the smoky, bold flavours of the robata grill to their signature range of traditional and contemporary rice dishes, every plate is crafted for sharing and discovery. Whether you are tucking into a rich Arroz Negro with squid and pil pil, or enjoying premium cuts like Galician Blond prime rib, the focus remains on bold flavours and social dining. Complemented by an extensive selection of Spanish wines and creative cocktails, Arroz offers a sophisticated yet welcoming retreat for food lovers looking to escape to the Mediterranean without leaving Jersey’s shores

Arroz
We ate here on our last night in Jersey and it was a perfect ending to a fantastic holiday. We had hired bikes in the day so we had built up a good appetite. We went for the obvious choice of Paella and it was just what we needed. We accompanied it with some great wine and a couple of lagers. A perfect ending to one of the most enjoyable holidays we have had in many years. Thanks Jersey, we will be back!!!

This must be reasonably new, because last time we were in Jersey it was a MacDonalds or Burger King. Arroz is definitely a massive improvement to the afore mentioned. We spend quite a lot of time in Spain and are very familiar with the food there. Arroz serves up some seriously good Spanish dishes including tapas and their Paella is also very good. Would we go again? definitely! we really enjoyed the whole experience.
