“ THIS. PLACE. ROCKS. Just eat here, trust me. Order what is recommended and take your time enjoying the flavors. We came with our picky daughter who was crying bc she didn’t want seafood and she left happy. If you’re in a similar boat ask for some bread and butter. They make it with garlic and lemon but don’t get full on it. We’ll definitely come back! ”
“ 10/10!! Do not judge a book by its cover .. a seemingly inconspicuous restaurant off the beaten track, the chef lets the food speak for itself. Absolutely amazing food and the service was wonderful. The seafood was so fresh - they get it from the local markets and the meat dishes were delicious. We feel like this restaurant is on the verge of being Michelin recognised. Even if you only have 1 night in Alicante this is the restaurant to go to! Words can’t describe how great it was. ”
“ What an amazing place! We found it thanks to a recommendation from a friend and it must be Alicante's best kept secret. We had a tasting menu and each of the dishes seemed better than the previous one. Very flavorful and surprising combinations. A great experience on all levels, and a must visit if you like food. They also catered for our food allergies and some of the gluten free alternatives were probably better than the normal ones! ”
“ Really unsual and great place! Wonderful flavours and craft-work. The service is excellent. Must visit when in Alicante! ”
“ Wow, what a surprise. I was sure we were on the wrong place, but I am so pleased that we found it. Great fusion food and a very pleasant waitress. ”
“ Alma was recommended to us and we’re happy it was! Delicious flavours, the meat melts in your mouth (no knives needed!). Excellent service. Prices are a bit high for the portions but well worth it when you taste the quality of the ingredients. ”
“ No doubt this is a chef who knows how to combine interesting flavours with great produce. We loved all of the dishes, the scallops were my favourite, perfectly cooked and with a sauce that matched very well. Great service from the waitress as well. Definitely a place to return to. ”
“ We had one of the most incredible meal course ever. Each coming dish was more surprising than its precedent, the staff was super kind and the overall service pretty high. The chef is super talented. Worth the whole weekend in Alicante. ”
