Bodegón Tio Ennio Altea — Restaurant in Altea

Tucked away in the quiet charm of Aldea, this spot is a hidden gem that offers a serene escape from the everyday. The first thing that captures your attention is the breathtaking view—rolling hills, lush greenery, and sunsets that feel like paintings. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, and you find yourself just soaking it all in.

The food is impressive. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Local ingredients shine in every dish, with traditional Spanish influences blended effortlessly with modern touches. The seafood was especially memorable—perfectly cooked and seasoned. The house wine paired nicely, and desserts were the perfect finish.

The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing. The staff clearly care about your experience, and it shows in the small details.

That said, the prices are noticeably steep. While the quality is undeniable, it does feel a little too expensive, especially if you’re planning more than a one-time visit. It’s the kind of place you splurge on—great for a special occasion, but maybe not your weekly go-to.

Overall, it’s an unforgettable spot that delivers on atmosphere and taste. Just be prepared for the bill. Still, with views like that, it might just...

I was quite disappointed by the food. I had high expectations when I read “milanesas Argentinean style” or “ojo de bife Argentino” .. both were tasteless. My husband (Dutch) married to Argentinean has tried many milanesas and he told me “this is the worst milanesa I have ever had”. Not sure how someone manages to make a milanesa boring when it has cheese and 2 friend eggs on top, but I believed he didn’t like it as for first time he left half of the milanesa on his plate (I have not tried it though since I don’t eat gluten). My steak was also pretty tasteless, and didn’t taste very Argentinean, as it was on the hard side. The provolone was on the other hand amazing. The view of the place and the terrace are beautiful and the personnel was very kind. The service was also very efficient. Based on my experience with the food, I don’t believe it deserves a 5 stars neither I would send a friend to this place, but if you want a nice view, and okay food...

Very disappointing!

We followed the great reviews and thought to give it a try. We were offered a nice table at the terrasse with nice views down Altea.

We ordered one salad to share and two "mains". While the food was ok, the portions were very small, considering they were advertised as mains and also very pricy. Additionally, the tuna tataki was very disappointing as it was basically a tuna steak cut in small pieces. I have eaten several tuna tataki dishes, and they are normally just lightly seared and raw in the middle (what makes it so special). The dish we were served yesterday, however, was almost cooked through. We ended up paying 90€ with 3 drinks and some water and left almost still hungry...

Would definitely...
