Tapería Ca Pere — Restaurant in Altea

Unfortunately we did not have the best experience here,the food and service was very bad to say the least.

We especially did not like the chopitos we ordered.The taste felt like it was burned and old oil was used,we kindly told the waiter (Getente) not sure if it was the owner,but we assume so,and he got very offended that we did not like it and raised his voice,and did not accept that it was unedible for us.He even brought somebody elses plate with chopitos saying they didnt complain,to prove his point.

We felt very disrespected.Even if we were maybe in the wrong and this is how trafitional chopitos should taste (we had it multiple times on our trip and loved it at other restaurants) we even mentioned it might be fresh but it tasted completely burned) but this taste felt wrong.This is not how we should be treated.He was raising his voice to my wife saying she was the problem,not the meal in Spanish (she speaks Spanish and me not,and thats where I got pissed off and stepped in and told him have some respect!his reply 'we need to show respect'.

Unacceptable customer service,and we still paid for it in full and only eating two pieces from 20.

He even spoken to other guest on how we could not like the meal.

The chef(we assume) came out and we paid and he was nice and apologized ,and said the person we talked to is a little bit was loco,that probably says a lot..

So all in all,I would def not recommed this place,and we made a big mistake trusting a place away from the...

Unfortunately I would not recommend. The owner and staff were lovely and service was great. For two people, we had a bottle of house white (14 euros!!), ‘TAPAS’ of potatoes with cheese and bacon, sepia, chicken in garlic,and croquettes (2.5 euros each!!!!) , followed by cheesecake and two glasses of house white. The food was mediocre apart from the Sepia which was very good. The bill was 78 euros!!! There were no prices on the menu. That is the most expensive lunch we have had during 6 months travelling all over Europe / not a problem if the quality of the food matched the price and the prices had been on the menu, but sadly it didn’t and they weren’t! We really wanted to like this place as the reviews are great, and we have 6 family members joining us for Christmas and thought they would love it here. Shame we will be...

The restaurant is not so pretty from outside but inside it is nice with traditional decoration. As the waiter was taking our order he seemed to suddenly decide we couldn’t have Paella, too much work for the kitchen and we should have told him when we booked. We seemed to convince him by ordering an extra portion. We also ordered prawns and were asked if we would like 8 or 12, no mention of price. They were undercooked and with no sauce or extras. They were taken away to be cooked more, only to return as slimy as the first time. We later discovered that their « market price «  was 84€ For 12! An expensive surprise! The paella was tasty, albeit a little too salty and the fried fish platter was very good. All in all it was a good meal but we left feeling a little...
