The whole area is full of the most wonderful restauarnts of great diversity and taste from local traditional Spanish cusine through to Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Seafood, Belgian, French, Steak Houses, Tapas Bars ... you name it, it is here, and good quality, very reasonably priced.

We have three ‘locals’.  First is Bar Canis which is a 2 minute drive or 20 walk (uphill!) – it provides the most fabulous food and speciality tapas with good wine and very cheaply – this is where the locals go to eat.  Its reputation for its Paella stretches for miles.........  The second is a roll down the hill to the coast about 4 minutes (by car) and is a superb Chinese called Pato Peking.  The third is a wonderful Italian - our daughters' favourite - which is 3 minutes down the hill (by car) at the Hotel Montemar called La Tartarna.  Here they have a comprehensive menu from Pizza upwards and superb Chocolate Mouse (ask them to put one by for you when you order your main as they are very popular and often run out).

Try eating in the Jalon Valley - here they are some wonderful restaurants, try La Vall, our favourite.  If you have withdrawal symptoms for Sunday roast, go to Monroes Carvery in Moraira and if you want a wonderful Belgian meal, go to Le Mistral in Calpe -you will need to book for both.  You should also try the shellfish restaurants in Calpe Port and also in the Port is a Japanese where the chefs entertain you with their knives and cook in front of you.
