Walking along the streets of Alicante, you will see many small blackboards in front of restaurants and tapas bars with hand-written menus. Always ask first for el menu del dia – a lower-priced meal with 2 or 3 dishes, including a drink and a dessert of your choice. The food is always fresh and flavours are great and sometimes surprising.
Most Alicante restaurants offer you delicious Mediterranean dishes in a typical Spanish atmosphere. You can, for example, enjoy a variety of traditional seafood, the famous Spanish jam, tasty potato tortillas or our celebrated Alicante paella (local rice dish).
