El Gosto Del Gourmet - Alicante

Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We arrive at 10.30 pm, precise with respect to the booking time.. we wait 25 minutes to sit down and an hour to wait for the food which, moreover, is poor, acidic and of low quality, the fish tasted like plastic. Rude and arrogant staff, NEVER AGAIN Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €30–40 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

The atmosphere is very elegant, yet cosy. The service is impeccable and exceeds any expectations. Food is well prepared, well presented and absolutely delicious. 10/10 all round!

We really enjoyed our visit on New Years Day evening and whilst it wasn’t perfect, it was still very good. The service and hospitality we wonderful which hasn’t always been the case this trip. We walked out of another restaurant for a distinct lack of service and this place was great for service. The food quality was good but again we had better during this trip. We had tiger prawns which were HUGE and delicious. 10/10 Mixed croquetas 10/10: these were YUMMY!! Fried squid (calamari) 10/10: batter was so light and the quid so soft and delicate, PERFECT! Pork knuckle 6/10, a little bland and unexciting. Iberica ham, egg, potatoes and patron peppers: 6/10, very disappointing that they used frozen crinkle fries and not real potatoes. Not acceptable really so that was a bit disappointing. Overall we had more excellent dishes than average ones and the place is lovely with a nice ambiance and great service. I would recommend it but be aware you won’t get fresh potatoes, they’re frozen crinkle fries so if you don’t want these anyway then all good!

The best paella I had in Alicante. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. I am coming back again for sure. Well recommended!!!
