Where to eat: THE BEST RESTAURANTS IN ALICANTE

Where to eat: THE BEST RESTAURANTS IN ALICANTE

Located in the middle of the Costa Blanca, Alicante is one of the most important tourist destinations on the Spanish east coast. Since Alicante is a popular beach destination, there are a number of great hotels, resorts, and sunny accommodation options, but not many people know that the region is a food-lovers' paradise with its abundance of fresh fish and shellfish dishes, tasty fruit and vegetables.

Alicante is quietly making a name for itself as one of Spain’s culinary hotspots, although this southeastern region has always been gastronomically gifted! Alicante is a very cosmopolitan city, accustomed to welcoming visitors from all over the world, which means you can find an incredibly varied range of restaurants.

In this article, we give you our recommendation of some restaurants for all tastes! From authentic restaurants to simple café-bars, different cuisines such as Spanish, Lebanese, Italian, and Japanese, as well as Vegan and Vegetarian options.

Restaurants for fine dining in Alicante:

Manero | Tapas & Delicatessen

From the moment you see the elaborate floral mosaic floors, the glass display case filled with locally caught seafood on ice, the collection of vintage wines and the neatly presented fresh produce, you’ll be forming a favourable opinion of Manero.

Restaurante La Ereta

Restaurant La Ereta enjoys a commanding view across the city as it’s situated on Santa Barbara’s Castle. To accompany the view is some of the finest dining in Alicante. These days, the emphasis is on set menus, where you’ll receive around a variety of nine or ten different dishes, each its own work of art.

Tasting menus for creative Mediterranean cuisine, plus floor-to-ceiling windows with city views.
