Highly recommended place. I went with my partner and we ordered the set menu, which was delicious, homemade, and a generous portion. I barely made it to dessert! The staff were very attentive and friendly, and they explained the menu and à la carte options well. The price of the set menu is well worth it. If I go back, I will definitely return. (I don't have any more photos.)
Magnificent. All the rice dishes were spectacular. Although we ordered the lobster rice and it was delicious, the Iberian pork rice with mushrooms and aioli was amazing. The service was impeccable, even when it was full. Friendly and professional waiters.
Great!! Quality price
A regular stop whenever we go to Calpe, eating at one of their tables by the window with sea views is simply spectacular. They have good quality ingredients and a daily set menu that changes regularly, priced around €27 without drinks. Any of their rice dishes are definitely worth trying; they're not the best, but they're quite good. In general, I've always felt that the service at the restaurant isn't very well organized. Each item is served by a different waiter, and sometimes you have three waiters on hand and other times there's no one at all. Even so, we don't have any complaints, as we've never experienced long waits, which is usually the most annoying thing. The mussels are spectacular! 5 stars. The paella del senyoret was very good, but could be improved. 4 stars. The dessert was a generous brownie-type "coulant," ideal for sharing, accompanied by ice cream and a firm, delicious whipped cream. I recommend it. I also recommend booking well in advance if you plan to go. It's a very popular restaurant, and in the summer it's nearly impossible to get a table without a reservation.
