🇪🇸 Alicante – A Foodie’s Paradise! 🍽️✨

Every spot we tried was delicious, and we’ve got a whole list of places we didn’t even get to! 😋 Here’s the roundup: 1️⃣ RESTAURANTE EL BUEN COMER 🍤🥘 We stumbled in by accident—best mistake ever! Their set menu includes: ▪️ ½ bottle of wine or drink (so much we couldn’t finish! 🍷) ▪️ Starter (the garlic butter shrimp was divine—we were full after this! 😅) ▪️ Seafood paella (perfectly cooked, no hard rice, fresh seafood! 🥘) ▪️ Dessert (meh… but who cares? We were stuffed till dinner! 😆) Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ (Would go back!) 2️⃣ NATSU RAMEN 🍜🔥 (4.7/5 on Google!) Always a queue—for good reason! We tried the shoyu ramen: ▪️ Rich, savory broth (not too heavy) ▪️ Melt-in-your-mouth chashu 🥓 ▪️ Perfect ajitama (soy-marinated egg) 🥚 Wanted to try the tonkotsu but didn’t want to wait again! 😭 Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Must-visit!) 3️⃣ TAPA-CAÑA (D‘TABLAS) 🍢🐙 A local favorite! Highlights: ▪️ Fried eggplant & crispy squid (🔥) ▪️ Marinated fish (super salty but magic with salad!) ▪️ Missed out on the ham carving & mussels 😢 ▪️ Now €1.7 per tapa (still worth it!) Pro tip: Go early (by 6 PM)—later, it’s packed! Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4️⃣ TAILANG RAMEN & ARROZ 🍛🍜 Solid Japanese spot, but Natsu’s ramen was better. Loved the: ▪️ Chicken katsu curry (super crispy, rich sauce!) Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐✨ 5️⃣ DULCE ÁNGEL 🎂🍓 Local cake shop (perfect for a birthday treat! 🎉): ▪️ Berry cake – Dense, creamy, not too sweet (👍) ▪️ Pistachio cake – Way too sweet (York’s was better 😅) Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐ 6️⃣ MERCADONA (Supermarket Finds!) 🛒🦑 ▪️ Seafood platter (€6!) – Huge octopus legs, tasty seasoning! ▪️ Marinated fish – WAY too salty (couldn’t eat it 😵) 7️⃣ Airport’s WOK ✈️🍚 Skip it. Overcooked, too sweet, not great. Final Thoughts: Alicante is a hidden food gem! 🏆 From paella to ramen, tapas to seafood feasts—every bite was an adventure! #AlicanteEats #SpainFoodHeaven #TravelToTaste #TapasLover #EuropeanFoodie
