Guest scores & sentiment
From 76 guest reviews · multi-source · as of 2026-07-21
Guests consistently praise the prime central location near the beach, port, and restaurants. However, reviews frequently highlight poor soundproofing, noisy plaza surroundings at night, and inconsistent cleanliness with maintenance issues like clogged drains and pests. The elevator is often out of service, and self-check-in instructions can be confusing. Best suited for short city-break stays rather than those seeking quiet or long-term comfort.

Alba
Mediterranean Cuisine · Bib
€
The fusion of local Alicante and Italian cuisine on offer in this attractive and intimate eatery in a residential district comes as a pleasant surprise, and is explained by the culinary experiences of chef Alba Esteve during her stints working in several prestigious restaurants in Italy. Choose between the à la carte (interesting off-menu options such as fresh fish of the day are also available) and an enticing tasting menu. We loved the delicious and refreshing lemon and yuzu tartlet dessert with yuzu and a lime and celery sorbet.

Tábula Rasa
Traditional Cuisine · Bib
€€
Located in the city’s historic Benalúa district, Tábula Rasa boasts a well-maintained façade plus an interior with a tranquil and traditional ambience. Head Chef Rafael Molina is keen to offer honest cuisine that showcases Alicante’s culinary traditions, bringing a modern technical approach and a continual focus on fresh seasonal ingredients (they do not use freezers or vacuum packs). The menu, which changes almost daily, focuses on a single, tempting seasonal menu where rice dishes or 'fideuás', such as their tasty rice with pork ribs and vegetables, tend to take centre stage.

La Taberna del Gourmet

This taverna could almost be described as a tapas museum! Huge choice of tapas on display, all prepared using high quality ingredients, as well as an extensive selection of wines.

El Portal Alicante
Contemporary
€€€
A super-cool gastro-bar with an attractive bar and a variety of tables serving tapas, salted meats, Iberian hams, seafood, caviar, and rice dishes. Cocktails and after-work drinks complete the picture! Our recommendations? In the El Portal classics section, you have to try El bocata de Sergio, an absolute smash hit, and an already iconic snack, its iPepito, a tribute to Steve Jobs.

Steki
Fusion
€€€
A life full of travel characterises Fernando and Olivia, a charming couple who have made their different culinary cultures (he is Mexican; she is Greek) the cornerstone of their joint gastronomic project. The name (Steki translates as a “meeting place”) of their simple restaurant, located in a pedestrian street in the city’s old quarter, also highlights this philosophy. Their cuisine is based around the cooking of the Mediterranean with understandable influences from Mexico and Greece. Although available à la carte, there is a minimum order of 5 dishes for two sharing.

Manero
Traditional Cuisine
€€
A unique restaurant that has recreated the ambience of a traditional grocery store, where you can enjoy delicate tapas, Iberian hams, salted dishes, high-quality tinned products and even seafood, many of which are packaged ready to take away.

Nou Manolín
Farm to table, Regional Cuisine
€€€
As soon as you enter Nou Manolín, your gaze is immediately drawn to the superb array of shrimp, red prawn, crayfish, oysters etc in the seafood display. Whether you choose the bar on the ground floor or the dining room with a delightful designer-inspired ceiling upstairs, the market-inspired menu (featuring a few media-ración options and a small selection of rice dishes), is identical. To round off your meal in style, make sure you order the almond nougat soufflé with chocolate ice cream.

La Ereta
international
€€€
A striking modern property on the ascent up to the Castillo de Santa Bárbara, hence its superb views of the city. Here, Alicante-born chef Dani Frías offers two Mediterranean-based, contemporary menus (Ereta and Degus) that focus on seafood. This is demonstrated by one dish we particularly enjoyed: his delicious version of red shrimp stew (“caldereta de gamba roja”).
