Mareando la Huerta — Restaurant in Alicante

I really like this restaurant. It's a Colombian and Korean fusion, an innovative concept in Alicante. I've been there several times and even brought many friends. They have delicious and varied vegan options, clearly marked on the menu. My favorites are the vegan potato salad, toasts, and mushroom cannelloni. Last time the eggplant from the eggplant rolls was a bit undercooked, but it's usually quite good. All (or almost all?) dishes with cow milk or cheese can be replaced with tasty plant-based versions. Everything is nicely plated. Another plus is that it's run by women and they use local and seasonal products.

My only complaint is about the price of oat milk for the coffee: the cappuccino, which is already on the pricey side (€2.85), has a €1.75 surcharge when made with oat milk. I found this over the top, as 1L of barista oat milks cost around €2 in supermarkets, and restaurants usually get lower prices. I've purchased cappuccinos with plant-based milk in sooo many restaurants around the world, and I don't remember ever paying more than €0.75 for the milk swap, with the most common being less than €0.50. What's worse is that this €1.75 surcharge is not even communicated neither on the menu or at the time of ordering, then we get that negative surprise when the bill comes. We felt disappointed as loyal customers trying to encourage ethical, sustainable consumption in a local restaurant. Our suggestion is to clearly communicate the surcharge before the order is placed and/or offer a more economical alternative of plant-based milk.

This restaurant is an absolute gem! The combination of Colombian and Korean flavors is creative, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious.

Me and my girlfriend visited this cute healthy place and we absolutely loved it. Even though I am a huge gym rat and I love my meats and this place offers mostly vegan and vegetarian options they also have fish. Absolutely recommend the “Salmon Teriyaki”. We came back 3 times in total and we ordered it each time. Other delicious food includes the “grilled octopus with baked potatoes”. The service was excellent and the waitresses were friendly and helpful. Their water with mint and orange was a great addition to an already...
