Renowned for being one of the best dining experiences in Gran Alacant! Wonderful, tasty dishes set in a rustic surrounding. Definitely not one to miss but reservations are recommended!

Superb Spanish food from the northern region of Asturias. The beef cachopo (two fillets of beef with ham and cheese coated in breading) is highly recommended and ideally washed down with some traditional Asturian cider whilst you enjoy the lovely view of the castle of Santa Pola from the terrace.

From all the different Indian restaurants available, this is still our favourite after many years. The restaurant has modest decorations but the service and food is the best. We recommend the early bird meal (before 9pm) where you can have a 3 course meal for around 10€. 

Located in the "Masa Square" on Calle Holanda, this restaurant manages to combine two worlds of cuisine in one delicious menu! They offer not only a wide selection of dishes from India and Mexico but also burgers, lasagna and more! For a place that does everything, the quality and taste is excellent! There is plenty of outdoor seating to dine in the square in the sunshine. Ideal for those families that cant agree on what to eat! :)  

For an authentic taste of Italy, this could be one of the best Italian restaurants in the area. Their food is prepared with fresh Italian products and their pizzas are superb! 

A great setting and excellent food. This stylish Chinese restaurant has seating on the enclosed terrace or inside, offers a wide range of dishes and very reasonable set menus. Our favourite Asian restaurant if you are in La Marina.

Famed to be one of the best restaurants in Gran Alacant, Tres Besos is a quality Dutch restaurant with a warm and comfortable atmosphere and excellent food. Their saté chicken is delicious!.

Ideal for the meat lovers! This Argentinian restuarant with modern installations and attractive views of the beach offers succulent steaks and meat feasts to enjoy. We recommend the Parrillada Completa (complete grill) with garnish for 2 persons with beef, chicken, pork and Criollo chorizo sausage in traditional Argentine cuts. 

We really enjoy this unique restaurant. It offer some authentic Peruvian dishes and a very friendly service. There is something for everyone to try. I recommend the Causa salad and the Pollo Parilla (Gilled Chicken) or Lomo Saltado (marinated strips of sirloin with onions, tomatoes). Why not wash it down with some refreshing Inca Kola?

When you are looking for some classic British grub this is a super place for a traditional full english breakfast, a cornish pastie, a jacket patato, a sandwich with plenty of fillings, some scones with tea, and much more! The rear terrace has some lovely views and the service is very friendly. 

Here you can enjoy some wonderful pasta dishes as well as super tradicional pizzas in a warm and stylish environment. Well worth a visit!  

This is one of our favourite tapas restaurants in Santa Pola. It is located off a side street near the castle square where you can eat outside in the sunshine or inside its traditionally styled dining room. They have an excellent range of tapas and montaditos, a filling menu of the day and also offer gourmet hamburgers and pizza.  

The best place to go for authentic British Fish'N'Chips! The menu for around 8€ is a bargain with fresh cod or haddock, chips, mushy peas or beans, bread and a drink. They also make delicious fried chicken that is finger licking good. It is advisable to call before to preorder the chicken to have it ready for your arrival. 

A superb location to enjoy a tapas or menu del día with the open outlook of the harbour and boats infront of you. One of my favourite spots for a Catalán breakfast and a cold beer while I soak up the sunshine and admire the view.

For a taste of traditional Spanish cuisine try Buenísimo does an excellent menu del día and for very good value. Three courses can enjoyed at a relaxing pace and accompanied by a bottle of locally produced wine.

This typically Spanish snack, the churros, are a delight to dip into a mug of chocolate. There are two main types the puros (cigars) and churros de lazo (in bows). We recommend the lazos with sugar and chocolate dip for a sweet start to your day!  

A very friendly atmosphere can be found in this  charming German restaurant where you can try cullinary marvels such us Schnitzel, Bavarian sausages and cheeses, goulash soup and our favourite, barbecue ribs. They also have some very tastey varieties of beer available on draught.
