La Bodeguita de Carlos — Restaurant in Alicante

This is a family owned neighborhood cafe/restaurant. If you want local and typical this is your place!

By typical I do not necessarily mean common or uninteresting. I mean typical of Spain and Alicante. Locally sourced fish and meats. Dishes that all families know and love. Swordfish, Lubina, Merluza, Bacalao, Gambas, Mejillones... Solomillo, Tenera, ... salads, soups. Small plates. From the traditional to interesting twists on a theme. Hearty and plentiful portions.

Fabulous menu del día and a very nice wine selection. Decent selection of distilled spirits.

Outdoor seating is under an Arbor that becomes colourful and aromatic in the season.

Give it a try. You will be...

I have recently discovered this bar in Plaza Manila. It has been running for a long time but we have only started going there for some drinks and tapas recently. They have seating area outside and some tables inside with a very peaceful atmosphere so you can enjoy conversations with your friends. They have a selection of meat tapas and little montaditos, very typical Spanish. I recommend it and I will definitely come back again...

I am between 3 and 4. Its a non touristic place in a simple part of the city. Its more a bar resto than a typical restaurant. The food was good, the portions are really big. All feels home made. Overall we enjoyed our meal. The octopus is too expensive for what you get. They have a daily formula at 10 euros, with starters, main plus désert. The glases were not that clean. The.place was full, mostly ils people. And this is Always...
