At the moment you are enjoying your well deserved Costa Blanca holiday, after the fist couple of days in your holiday villa or apartment you might wander, where to find a nice restaurant at the Costa Blanca?

The first part of the evening you will have to search a nice restaurant, if you are in Altea, or if you want to visit this beautiful place, you will find some very nice restaurants.

If you dont want to spend a lot of money, there is a very nice restaurant at the first line of the beach in Altea called Tutti Frutti, you can gat a pizza, but I really would advice a very nice salad, served in an eatable bowl, the menus are good priced and very nice. From the terrace you can overlook the Mediterranean, which will provide you with a nice cool breeze.

Near the Altea church, moving down from the churches square in the direction of the Sierra Bernia Mountain you will find a busy street with some very nice restaurants. In Estromboli you can eat very good Italian food and they have very nice smashed tomato sauce, from grandfathers own garden.

At the other side of the street you have the very nice restaurant Ousteau, which is brilliantly decorated and has a fantastic ambiance. The very friendly staff will guide you to your table, which with nice warm weather can be on a cosy outside terrace, but always will be nice situated. The food is very good, you can choose from a Hollywood card, making you doubt between a Al Pachino steak or a Marlin Monroe salad

If you would like to spend some more, enjoying the good gastronomic life I will advice the restaurant el Nuevo Alcazar in La Nucia. A really good restaurant managed by people crazy about food.

Also a very high standard you will find at the restaurant La Fusion and Los Dos Lunas in el Albir, 2 more to put on your list to try.

If you like to have something tipical Spanish, Benidorm is the place to be.. In the old town of Benidorm there is a special street with a lot of typical tapas bars, here you will find the Spanish people enjoying all kinds of small snacks and nice wines.

Of course you will find as well Mc Donalds as Burger king in Benidorm, but it is not recommended to go there unless you cant really stop yourself.

The Spanish food is really great to try, like a good paella you can try it in the Chiringuito in the beach of Albir, where the Spanish are all at large tables eating the paella. For those who absolutely despise of seafood there is a special paella type called a banda and one with only vegetables. Also there is a very large grill were they prepare some giant steaks.

Anyway, its the golden rule to see if a restaurant is good, look if there are enough Spanish people sitting there!!!

Enjoy your meal!!
