Saltea — Restaurant in Altea

I had the misfortune to be fed at Saltea last night. I wonder where the many positive reviews for this restaurant come from! The best was the starter (6 oysters). Then sea bass in the salt mantle. After the salt mantle was off, a fish the size of a brown trout remained. For 2 people!! Unfortunately, the part was too long cooked, so a bit soggy. The service had problems the fish puree from the salt crust to pulen. Since I still had a slight feeling of being hooked after the homeopathic fish dose and there was still wine left, I asked the waiter if they had a cheese platter on offer. Of course, that was the proud answer. Then they came with a cheese variation consisting of Manchego, Manchego and even more Manschego. On my question why the "Variaton" consist only of Manchego, they brought me the menu on which I unfortunately could not find cheese. Result of a spoiled birthday dinner see bill! Also noteworthy 2 Apérol Spritz for the proud price of 11 € the piece.

Tuve la desgracia de ser alimentado en Saltea anoche. Me pregunto de dónde vienen las muchas críticas positivas de este restaurante! Lo mejor fue el entrante (6 ostras). Luego la lubina en el manto de sal. Después de que el manto de la sal estuviera fuera, quedó un pez del tamaño de una trucha marrón. Para 2 personas !! Desafortunadamente, la parte estaba demasiado cocida, así que un poco empapada. El servicio tuvo problemas con el puré de pescado de la corteza de sal a pulen. Como todavía tenía la ligera sensación de estar enganchado después de la dosis homeopática de pescado y aún quedaba vino, le pregunté al mesero si tenían una fuente de queso. Por supuesto, esa fue la orgullosa respuesta. Luego vinieron con una variación de queso que consiste en Manchego, Manchego e incluso más Manschego. En mi pregunta de por qué la "Variaton" consiste solo en Manchego, me trajeron el menú en el que desafortunadamente no pude encontrar queso. Resultado de una cena de cumpleaños en mal estado ver factura! También cabe destacar 2 Apérol Spritz por el orgulloso precio de 11 € la pieza.

Ich hatte das Pech gestern Abend im Saltea gefüttert zu werden. Ich wundere mich woher die vielen positiven Bewertungen für dieses Restaurant herkommen! Das beste war noch die Vorspeise (6 Austern). Danach Seebarsch im Salzmantel. Nachdem der Salzmantel ab war blieb ein Fischlein von der grösse einer Bachforelle über. Für 2 Personen!! Leider war das Teil auch noch zu lange gegart, daher etwas matschig. Die bedienung hatte Probleme das Fischpürree aus der Salzkruste zu pulen. Da ich nach der homöopathischen Fischdosis noch ein leichtes Hungegefühl blieb, und auch noch Wein übrig war fragte ich den Ober ob sie eine Käseplatte im Angebot hätten. Natürlich war die stolze Antwort. Daraufhin kamen sie mit einer Käsevariation bestehend aus Manchego, anchego und noch Manchego. Auf meine Frage ob sie nur Manchego hätten, brachte man mir die Menükarte auf der ich leider keinen Käse finden konnte. Resultat eines verdorbenen Geburtstags essens siehe Rechnung! Ausserdem noch erwähnenswert 2 Apérol Spritz zum stolzen Preis von...

I used to be a regular guest at this restaurant and always appreciated the quality of the food and the overall atmosphere. Unfortunately, my recent experience was extremely disappointing due to the behaviour of the administrator. Despite several empty tables, I was rudely told that everything was fully booked and that the wait would be very long — without any explanation or courtesy.

The way the administrator spoke was downright disrespectful and unprofessional, completely ruining the impression of the place. It’s truly unfortunate when good food and a nice setting are overshadowed by such poor and arrogant customer service. After this experience, I can no longer recommend...

We had a very nice lunch in Saltea sitting on a covered terrace. For starters we had tuna tartar which was prepared in front of us, calamari with aioli, jamon and avocado salad - all was very tasty! For mains we had Argentinian steak, seafood paella and seafood soup which were also delicious. Service was excellent, our waiters spoke very good English, Spanish and Russian which was convenient for our international family. Highly recommend and will come back soon. Didn’t take any photos as was very busy enjoying all the food!

Aleksey was very kind and showed our little son live lobsters....
