• Baeza & Rufete★ Michelin A restaurant that exudes a passion for cooking, plenty of experience and the unmistakeable talent of staff trained by Martín Berasategui. The first thing that chef Joaquín Baeza will casually tell you is that, in keeping with his mentor, he is here to bring joy to his guests! This small, unpretentious restaurant is run with great dedication by the chef alongside Esther Castillo, who works as front-of-house manager and sommelier. The modern Mediterranean cooking here, whose leitmotifs are the diversity and seasonality of Alicante’s produce, gives pride of place to aromatic herbs picked personal2.5km
• AlbaBib 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.2.5km
• Maestral This elegant restaurant occupies an attractive villa surrounded by gardens that are popular for corporate events, private spaces for more intimate gatherings, and a terrace for summer dining that is often full. Choose from an extensive à la carte menu of traditional Mediterranean cuisine based around high-quality ingredients and featuring a small selection of rice dishes. We particularly recommended the delicious Santa Pola shrimp and the red tuna served four ways.758m
• Espacio Montoro If you’re looking for something truly out of the ordinary, this restaurant in Alicante is definitely the place to go.The dining experience is akin to a game that moves from one space to the next (Hi Line, Cocoon Lab and Geoda Verde), each of which features highly personalised decor and provides a backdrop of different visual effects and even specific aromas for your fine-dining experience. Chef Pablo Montoro’s fun and entertaining cuisine, including creative, travel-inspired dishes that showcase the Mediterranean (we loved the trompe l'oeil vegetable sausages and the onion royale, fermented on781m
• Tábula RasaBib 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.4.9km
• La Ereta 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”).3.1km
• Open Open boasts an eclectic look in keeping with its name. This similar liberal philosophy is also evident in its open-view kitchen and on the à la carte, with the option of creating your own half portion-style menu. The chefs here explain and serve their own contemporary dishes centred around market-fresh ingredients. One speciality that is definitely worth ordering is the Gilda Open, their interesting red tuna ‘catalana’ or the cuttlefish, guanciale and burrata gnocchi.3.3km
• Celeste y Don Carlos A gastronomic restaurant offering innovative international- and French-inspired cuisine which is always based around seasonal market ingredients. Tasting menus are the only option here, one of which is inspired by the period the chef spent working in the kitchen of the Hotel Ritz in Paris. Booking essential.3.4km
• Steki 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.3.4km
• Plëgat In the heart of Alicante, a short hop from the lively Central Market, there is a place with a great deal of character and personality. They themselves say that they are ‘an intimate restaurant, where cooking is done calmly and time is savoured’.Behind the name Plëgat, a small tribute to the now defunct business in the nearby town of San Juan where the chef Nanín Pérez felt the unbreakable bond with the world of gastronomy, you will find an elongated establishment with few tables (just 5 and a reserved area), with the kitchen half-open so we can watch him work. Here you can order á la carte or 3.5km
