Restaurante la Martina — Restaurant in Altea

We visited La Martina on January 1 on the final day of three in the Greenwich Marina area. It was a quiet night in the restaurant and service was friendly and efficient from the server on duty. Our starters were Beef Carpaccio and warm Goat’s Cheese on Toast.

We stayed in Marina Greenwich for 3 weeks and tried all the restaurants there. In our opinion this is the best restaurant. It serves great quality food (fresh ingredients!) for a reasonable price and it has superfriendly staff!! The menu is extensive with great options for fish /meat lovers and vegetarians. The food is served gorgeous and in royal portions. No need to look further, you've found the best restaurant! Enjoy!!
