Just blown away by my visit here. Arrived just as they were opening for lunch and was lucky to get a space at the counter. Food, service and atmosphere were all faultless, couldn't have asked for better. Food wise I loved the Gilda so much I ordered a second one, the topped breads were delicious as was the Jamón. Excellent red wine too. Definitely worth visiting here as a treat.
Great experience! We only had seafood and it was splendid—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Nice selection of wines too, which paired beautifully with the dishes.
without exaggeration this place has the best atmosphere! the place consists of 2 parts: a bar on the first floor and a restaurant on the second floor. the restaurant is ordinary, just delicious. all my positive comments about the bar - great fresh products, great atmosphere and a good selection of suitable wines (not outstanding wines)

Know before you go

  1. For a better experience, consider visiting before peak hours to avoid long waits for tables
  2. If dining at the bar is preferred over formal seating upstairs for a different vibe but same menu
  3. Must-try dishes include clams with Curry, Swarovski bread combinations, super mouse dessert, slow-cooked egg
  4. Engage with Ivan, the Cuban waiter known for adding a personal touch to interactions

The most amazing restaurant- one of the best we have ever eaten in, not just the food but experience. Queue just before 8pm to get a seat at the bar and see the seafood on display. Fast and furious service but you can relax and take you time if you wish, the place is buzzy with atmosphere and the food is super fresh and perfect to prepared and presented. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Enjoy !

Amazing restaurant in Alicante, probably the best in the area, the rice was just magnificent, perfect, full of freshness, top quality and flavours. Great wine list, impossible to decide. A big bar downstairs to start warming up, before heading up to the big restaurant.
