Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Amazing restaurant. Quality over quantity is the mindset that the host Juan preaches. All dished are a gastronomic explosion and the food is just so well prepared it's overwhelming. The location in the middle or the harbour is industrial and in contrast with the fine dining experience you are offered. It's all about food, and not about the luxury vibe. Again, quality over quantity. Make sure to walk there from the city centre early in the evening to enjoy the harbour views, and take a taxi back to the centre for around € 10."
"Excellent Peruvian influenced food, in a surprising dockside setting. Really worth seeking out."
"Amazing kitchen and atmosphere! We did 4 km in one way but it was worth it."
"One of the best restaurants that I've been in Spain. And trust me I am a foody and gastronomic explorer. The service was great and the rice with Gambon was such a great experience - the chef brought it to us with such joy and pride in his creation. Saviche and tiraditos - Amazing explosion of fresh fish and different tastes. Deserts were outstanding also. Overall if you are in the Area of Alicante this restaurant is a MUST."
"Beautiful restaurant with a friendly staff and amazing food. The causa is one of the best I have ever had and had the perfect amount of spice. The tiraditos with maracuyá was refreshing and really met my expectations!"
"Hidden treasure worth seeking out. A family driven restaurant in a calm place, with modern cuisine and good value for money. We enjoyed meeting the chef, followed his recommendations and had a lovely food experience. My recommendations: don't miss the yummy 'arroz meloso', 'pulpo con yuca' and other classic Mediterranean and Peruvian dishes, taken to new heights. Overall, we enjoyed a lovely foodie experience, with unusual flavours and received an excellent personalized service. The only cons is that the restaurant is located in a lesser-known area of the city, but this out of the beaten path location might help preserving a secret treasure... Or I hope so!"
"Excelent food and probably the best service we've ever had in Spain. The staff was very friendly and helpful and gave us great recommendations. The peruvian flavors are very present in the dishes although they have Spanish twists. The croquetas de ají de gallina were phenomenal. We will definitely be back!"
"A restaurant with amazing service. They explain all the dishes very well and give good recommendations. It is in the harbour section of town with a great ambience. come with your own vehicle or taxi. if you want to get away from the classic restauarants in town, it's a good option to eat here. great value for money too."
