The camarero was very friendly and helpful. The soup was basic and tasty. The fish was on the dry side like very often in Alicante.

We stayed in Pla Del Bon Repos area, and ventured looking for Spanish restaurants that are frequented by locals. And we were the only tourists, so, there was a language barrier. Nevertheless, by scanning a QR code, you get the English menu. We were pleased to have found this restaurant. The prices are 10-20% lower than the touristy ones, but the food was great, if not better.

Best restaurant in Alicante, I tried many restaurants while I was there none of them has fresh fish and delicious food. The stuff here are amazing and very welcoming. I came here for dinner and returned next day. I highly recommend you the pulpo freshseco and tiramisu and their shandwish James

This place is great. We came early and they made us feel welcome. We had steak, sea bream, gazpacho and octopus. It was all delicious. What a treasure in the neighborhood. I'm definitely coming back. (And it was reasonably priced, about 13/person.)

Recibimos una atención excelente por un camarero con el pelo levantado algo blanco. Nos dio muy buenas recomendaciones y estaba atento en todo momento. lugar recomendado para tapas con ingredientes de calidad. ----------- I was honestly impressed by the customer service and how the waiter cared and give us great recommendations. Exactly what you want from an experienced waiter. The food is fresh and we'll sourced. If you are not local and you want to have an honest-not-pricey place to eat local food, look no further. Spanish waiters don't smile as much as other European countries but that does not mean they don't care about their customers quite the contrary in most cases, it's just awkward For them to be smiling all the time. This place is well known for many years in Alicante, specially for the sea food dishes coming from top sources.
