Read moreThe Best meal we have had in almost a week in the region! Took their set pre-set menus- of the day and the tapas menu. The soup, the small homemade tapas as well as the mains with lamb shoulder and rabbit under some carrot-pumpkin sauce were absolutely delicious! Cream cheese and tuna filled red pepper was so good we had to order extra.
Why eat overpriced excuse to food in Guadalest when there is a perfect local restaurant 5min car ride away with private parking. Would return in a heartbeat!...
