Restaurante La Raspa — Restaurant in Santa Pola

The food was initially a bit concerning, the Patatas Bravas were 8 euros, the portion wasn’t worth the price neither was the presentation. The potatoes were well fried and tasted good, they only came with a spicy sauce and no aioli which is a surprise to us considering most restaurants include it.

The fried calamari had a rubbery texture and lacked of flavour, they came with no lemon and no sauce. Bland and disappointing to say the least. They were around 7 - 10 euros.

The chopitos were great, they were all hot and crispy. Great taste and came with slice of lemon.

The grilled sardines were alright, nothing too special about it. Could’ve used some salt and a slice of lemon with.

The black rice with squid ink was absolutely amazing and had a rich taste. Although what disappointed me was that it was obligatory to purchase for at least 2 people which increased the price from 12.5 euros to 25 euros.

The entrecôte was delicious and had a great presentation, it all seemed great until we realised some of it was raw. We were basically done at that point and left it at that. See picture below.

The sangria was great, fresh taste and cold but no fruits.

The mojitos were delicious and 7 euros each. Great price and great presentation for such drink.

The Clara de lemon was lackluster and a knockoff radler that you’d find at your local grocery store. It wasn’t bad but nothing I’d pay for.

The total cost of the food was 108 euros.

The highlight of our day would be the amazing waiter we were met with, the waiter treated us astonishingly, he was very kind and polite. By far one of the coolest waiters I’ve encountered so far.

Aside from the waiter’s amazing work, the overall atmosphere and service from the other workers were nothing impressive. We were quite startled by the sudden yelling and heated arguments in the kitchen with the bartender.

I wouldn’t necessarily come back to this place if I had the option to, big room for...

Hoy martes de final de septiembre 2023 hemos vuelto a pasar el día en Santa Pola y como no podía ser de otra forma, a comer en La Raspa. Siempre es un lujo comer allí, se encuentra en el paseo frente al puerto deportivo. Tienen un menú a buen precio, cocina de calidad y unos postres caseros excelentes. El menú se compone de tres entrantes fijos a compartir y un segundo y un postre a elegir a nivel individual. Hoy hemos comido lacón, ensalada y fritura de pescado para empezar. De segundo nos hemos decantado por un riquísimo arroz a banda, ¡merece la pena! Y de postre su exquisita tarta de chocolate. La atención y simpatía de los camareros y el entorno en el puerto de Santa Pola hacen que nuestras visitas a La Raspa sean siempre inolvidables. Gracias al personal de La Raspa por hacer que nuestras visitas merezcan la pena.

Ayer martes 5 abril 2023 volvimos a comer en La Raspa y la experiencia fue igual de buena que en ocasiones anteriores. Comimos el menú del día, muy rico y a buen precio, excelente atención y amabilidad por parte del camarero. Los primeros son para compartir (comimos ensalada, calamares y tostas de pisto con anchoa, espectacular) y puedes elegir el segundo (tomamos arroz a banda y solomillo ibérico, ambos muy muy ricos). De postre, tarta de chocolate y un pudin de Calatrava, todo casero y muy bueno. Se encuentra en el paseo del puerto deportivo por lo que tiene muy buena ubicación ya que puedes comer frente al paseo y los amarres de los barcos. La decoración es agradable, se puede elegir sol o sombra y hay toldo para protegerse del sol. Siguen mereciendose un 10 para camareros y cocina. Siempre que vamos a Santa Pola, comemos en La Raspa. ¡Volveremos seguro!

Fuimos un sábado (primavera 2022), importante ir pronto o reservar porque se llena. El menú es de 10 y el servicio de camareros también. Los primeros son a compartir: gambitas fritas, mejillones al vapor, calamares a la romana y ensalada. Las gambitas de 10 y el resto de 9.8 jjj. De segundo, arroz a banda, en verdad no es arroz a banda sino con cerdo y algunos tropezones pero estaba muy bueno. Los postres buenísimos, comimos tarta de chocolate y otra de calatrava, las dos muy muy ricas. Un sitio imprescindible para comer en el puerto de Santa Pola mirando al mar...

La Raspa is an absolute treasure by the harbor of Santa Pola. Everything here is freshly prepared, and you can taste it right away. I ordered a tuna steak medium and that’s exactly how it was served, perfectly cooked and truly beyond expectations!

Not only is the food excellent, but the atmosphere makes this restaurant stand out. The staff is super friendly, always with a smile, and incredibly helpful. You immediately feel welcome and well taken care of.

The location by the harbor makes it extra special to dine here, and it’s a place we’ve been coming back to often lately, and that says it all.

In short: if you’re in Santa Pola and want to enjoy fresh food, warm service, and a great spot by the harbor, La Raspa is an absolute must...
