Bar Amelia — Restaurant in Gandia

In my humble opinion, living right across from this place may make me a bit biased, but I genuinely believe they serve the best Chivito in town! I simply can’t get enough of it. Almost like a tradition, I find myself there nearly every Friday for ‘almuerzo,’ like a version of brunch, just to savor their delectable Chivito, a sub with cheese, pork, egg, mayo, tomato, and lettuce.

What sets this place apart is not just the food but the entire experience. As soon as you’re seated, they bring out a delightful starter of peanuts and olives. While many opt for wine or beer, I go for water; I save my ‘drink-on’ for later in the evening.

Their menu offers a variety of bocadillos, but my go-to is the ‘Chivito medio.’ The full one can be quite filling, so I opt for the half portion. After relishing the bocadillo, they serve a comforting cup of coffee. And the best part? All of this comes at an incredibly reasonable price of 7.50 euros.

For ‘almuerzo,’ I occasionally indulge in their ‘Crema et.’ It’s a delightful concoction of coffee with rum and a subtle hint of lime, elegantly ignited. It’s a true treat for the palate and adds another layer of charm to the experience.

I can’t emphasize enough how much I adore this place. The food is nothing short of divine. If you happen to visit during lunchtime, they offer a three-course menu with a multitude of tempting options. And let’s not forget their desserts, which are simply to die for!

Not only is it a personal favorite, but whenever I have guests from other countries, I make sure to bring them here to experience the culinary delights. In fact, here’s a photo of me, my wife, and her dad and sister who were visiting us...

A Hidden Gem for a True Spanish Experience. This cafe has quickly become our go-to spot for breakfast, offering an authentic Spanish atmosphere that captivates you the moment you step inside. Run by a delightful family, the owner, in particular, stands out with his exceptional sense of humor, adding a personal touch to each visit.

The cafe primarily attracts an audience of mature adults, with most guests being 40+

The prices are great, especially for the lunch menu – it's such a good deal. Everything I've tried here tastes amazing. Whether you're a fan of Spanish food or just exploring new culinary experiences, this cafe is a must-visit. It's not just a meal; it's an immersion into a rich cultural experience. Highly...

Muy buena experiencia en mi primera vez ahi. Bocadillo gigante (mas de 40 cm fijo), buen ambiente, lleno, buena comida, servicio simpático y buen rollero. Lo mejor: sólo 7,5 el almuerzo entero. Sólo he tenido un mini roce con el dueño porque es el típico que a cada frase te suelta una coña y siempre va con la broma todo el rato, como para vacilarte (además muy enérgico y efusivo). Que está bien, a mi me mola ese rollo, pero en ese momento yo sólo quería saber el precio de lo que me ha costado todo y él, en lugar de darme la respuesta, no paraba de hacer coña y al final me he hartado (todo mientras me estaba cobrando). Creo que puedes hacer la broma con tus clientes sin llegar a eso. El tio me ha dicho: hombre, pero relájate!... A ver, si te insisto 4 veces y aun así no me lo dices, pues oye no esperes a desesperarme y dímelo y sigue con la broma si quieres, pero dímelo. Es una chorrada? Lo es, pero no he sido quien ha iniciado esa tensión, si no sabes cuándo parar, qué quieres que te diga... La broma te la sigo, pero bien medida. Tienes que saber cómo entrarle a la gente...
