We enjoyed a lovely lunch in the February sunshine. Service was friendly and efficient, prawns and ensaladilla amazing. Mussels were OK. They gave us crunchy fish skin which was delicious with the ensaladilla. We live in Elche so will return.

Fantastic food that is star worthy. Simple accommodation and no fancy cutlery and china but let’s be honest; it is the food that counts and that is simply fantastic. We had the pulpo which was just perfect, tender on the inside and seared on the outside. Also tiny little shells that were prepared with sea salt, garlic and olive oil. Just the perfect touch for this tasteful appetizer. We tasted the tomato salad with icebreaker made of olive oil……. It was perfect and very original a true taste-bomb. Also we had the calamari a la plancho, just like the pulpo the exact perfection of tender and seared. We flushed it down with a bottle of Verdejo. When we asked for the bill we were expecting a Michelin star like bill but is was less than €70 all included. This place is a MUST go for culinary lovers.

Great food - simple but fresh fish with nice sauces to accompany it. Our kids also loved the food (the kitchen was able to prepare child friendly dishes).
