Best restaurants in Alicante city

We get a lot of questions about which are the best restaurants in Alicante city

We have therefore made a list of 10 restaurants that we believe are among the top 10 in Alicante city. Our order is completely random. We are fully aware that people's tastes differ, and that the quality of restaurants can change quickly. It doesn't take more than that for a good chef to quit. At the same time, new good restaurants are constantly appearing in Alicante, so we will try to keep this list updated once a year. If we were also to start judging by interior, atmosphere and price in addition, this would probably become a very difficult task. There are many good restaurants in Alicante city. It is often the case that when you return to a restaurant that you have liked, the experience can be different the next time. But we will be surprised if you don't have a good experience at any of these restaurants. At several of these restaurants, you must/should book a table in advance, preferably some time in advance as well. If we were to personally say where we have had the best dining experience, it would be at restaurant Steki and Nou Manolin.

La Taberna del Gourmet: A tapas bar and restaurant known for its high quality food. They serve a wide selection of tapas and small dishes with fresh ingredients.

The location is central on the Explanada. They have both outdoor and indoor dining. But the atmosphere inside makes many people prefer it. https://restauranteterre.com/

Steki Restaurant: The name Steki can be translated as meeting place. This is a Greek/Mexican restaurant. The restaurant is quite simple but the dining experience is incredible. Steki is located slightly inside the old town and can be a bit difficult to find without GPS. The food is based on the best you can get from Greek and Mexican food culture. We have rarely been so surprised by the taste experience. Feel free to order today's special. https://stekirestaurante.es/en...

Valencia Once: The restaurant is a bit out of the way for the "tourist center" of Alicante. The food comes from the Mediterranean area and especially Spanish cuisine. Seafood is their specialty, but they also maintain a high quality of meat. They often change dishes so it's a place you can come back to try new things This is a great restaurant with very good food. https://valenciaonce.com/
