The good thing was the very friendly staff. Starting with the sticky Menu cards containing a somewhat confusing menu You can ONLY choose between menus so you can’t really order what you want because you have to stick to the selection of the chosen menu. It’s just confusing… The food is truely dreadful I had the gazpacho and the vegetarian Spaghetti The gazpacho was extremely sour and and very very Bitter. The bread served on the side was loaded with oil and judging by its taste was made 2 days ago. Aside from the fact that I had a hair in my food the spaghetti were mushy and soaked in fat as were the vegetables. I really can’t reccomend eating here

So sad… after nearly 30 years of visiting here, I can only say I was served what was a child’s menu with zero atmosphere. To give some context this restaurant used to have queues up the road. The night I went it was empty… should have been a warning sign. At best I had an over priced McDonald’s… so sad. The cockroach on my leg which i splatted through dinner I could deal with but the pre heated food no longer commands a €100 price tag. The owners (who I know after many visits) probably need to bail out before they destroy the reputation of what was built me of Moraira best places to eat.

Reseña: El Refugio – Moraira, Alicante Fuimos a El Refugio con muchas ganas de disfrutar una buena paella, ya que el restaurante está especializado en arroces. Por desgracia, la experiencia fue bastante decepcionante. Pedimos dos paellas: una de arroz negro y otra valenciana. Para nuestra sorpresa, tuvimos que esperar una hora y cuarto para que nos sirvieran, a pesar de que el restaurante estaba prácticamente vacío. Este retraso inicial ya marcó un mal comienzo. El pan que nos ofrecieron tampoco ayudó a mejorar la impresión: no era el clásico pan de barra que uno esperaría en un restaurante español, sino una especie de pan de molde recalentado en la tostadora, algo impropio de un establecimiento que pretende representar la cocina tradicional. Cuando finalmente llegaron las paellas, ambas tenían la base completamente quemada. No se trataba del socarrat, que muchos comensales aprecian, sino de una capa negra, totalmente carbonizada e incomible, pegada a la paellera. Para rematar la experiencia, al momento de pagar insistieron en que abonáramos en efectivo, alegando que el TPV no funcionaba bien. Sin embargo, al decir que solo teníamos tarjeta, el datáfono funcionó perfectamente, lo cual dejó una sensación de desconfianza innecesaria. En resumen, una experiencia muy por debajo de las expectativas: servicio lento, calidad discutible y una actitud cuestionable a la hora del pago. No lo recomendaría, al menos no en su estado actual.

Even though it used to be our favorite place to have paella, after one unsuccessful dinner we have stopped going there. The thing is, when you just arrive to Spain and don't really yet know what's good/authentic Spanish food and what's just tourist oriented you might think what they serve at El Refugio is actually good. Same happened to us. In the beginning seemed like their paella is just the way it should be, until ones we've discovered a frozen shrimp instead of a fresh one in the pan. I was amazed specially that it was still frozen. Not only they don't use fresh shrimps, they even manage NOT to cover this fact by not bothering to at least cook it, before throwing on the pan with paella ready to serve. Very big disappointment, and it started sooo well in the beginning. We used to bring all our friends there, coz we were sure it's great native kitchen. So that is one of a very few places I will not recommend. 3 stars is a very middle quality sign, which is what you get there, it's OK but not great. Sorry...
