Restaurantes
El Castillo
Carrer el Castell, 4, 03580 l'Alfàs del Pi
Dutch-owned restaurant with excellent set 3-course menu which is much more than a ‘menu del dia’ as each dish is a speciality within itself. Choice of indoor seating with fire in the winter, an outdoor terrace for the summer, and a verandah perfect for spring and autumn!

Ta Casa
Carrer la Ferreria, 36, 03580 l'Alfàs del Pi
Traditional Spanish restaurant popular with Spanish celebrating events, but the terrace area is delightful for a midweek lunch (best between 1.30pm-3.30pm). Ask for the Menu Del Dia and if you choose one of their fish specialities they fillet it expertly at your table - old school!

Le Cena by Nola
P.º del Mediterraneo, 20, 03590 Altea
(Previously called ‘Vamos A Comer’)
Part of a small chain of quality restaurants, this one on the Altea seafront with a choice of indoor and outdoor dining. Varied menu with some excellent variations on regular dishes plus a few lovely unexpected additions.

Siglo Nuevo
Carrer Pau Casals, 1, 03580 l’Albir
Chinese restaurants in the area are fantastically priced with 3-course set menus including prawn crackers and a drink for as little as €5.95. Their quality is also fantastically variable but this one excels in food, atmosphere, and friendliness. Just a few yards from the beachfront to walk off your meal too!

Sarita
11, Carrer Rambla de l'Albir, 03581 l’Albir
Nicely appointed Indian restaurant which boasts a lovely terrace as well as a spacious and comfortable interior. As with all Asian restaurants on the Costa the menus are virtually identical to the choices you get at most Asian restaurants in the UK.

La Plaza
Plaza Mayor, 03580, L'Alfàs del Pi
This cafe in the church square which my Mum & Dad started going to over 30 years ago was recently taken over by young guys who specialise in delicious home made burgers alongside other light bites. Musical accompaniment by the church bells usually provided!

Best Tapas street!
Carrer del Rosari, 08017, Benidorm
Benidorm Old Town is great, and a noticeable contrast to Benidorm New Town! Many people talk about ‘Tapas Alley’ (Calle San Domingo) which has gradually become more expensive, crowded, and commercial. However, just a few streets along, the Rosari tapas bars offer better food and prices.
