The restaurant wasn't overly busy midweek so we didn't have to wait which was another plus. The Paella Alicante was pretty tasty and had a good variety of seafood including clams,shrimp, crayfish, and calamari. Overall enjoyed the paella and dining outside In January. Would return

Located on the Esplanada, the restaurant is a hidden gem among a strip of other touristy…read morerestaurants. Dining outside will add on a bit of tax, but with such a beautiful view, table set ups, and a bottle of wine make sure you treat yourself & enjoy the ambience their patio provides. We ordered the seafood platter assortment with fried sardines, calamari rings, and calamari bodies. Paired with potatoes braves, and a glass of Cuarto Gotas Rijoa. Absolute perfection: hearty chunks of fresh seafood with not too much breading, not too much oil, and just enough lemon zest. The potatoes had a delicious sauce poured all over, making it lick the plate good. An absolute must dine compared to the choices in the area (the prices were reasonable & the staff was very friendly, with quick service)

Very seriously: IF YOU ARE IN ALICANTE, Make SURE YOU EAT HERE!!!!…read more This is one of the places in the world where every simple aspect of what makes a restaurant work is perfectly taken care of, and is well assembled with the others. 1. Space 2. Service 3. Food 4. City 1. SPACE. 5 stars Nou Manolin is located in a beautiful and lively part of Alicante's historical center. On the ground floor, a large (and yet intimate) square bar occupies the entire floor. This is a bar where customers sit on a first come first served dynamic. Here you can informally eat out of tapas, that are served in a gracious and fun way. It is totally unpretentious, and totally sophisticated. This hall could not be more beautiful. No one single testaurant-Indra cliche to be found here. All pure eclecticism that reveals the long term existence of the establishment. So beautiful! The upper floor is more of a table serviced restaurant, beautifully decorated in a Mediterranean-design style, and with great care for impecable acoustics. The ceiling is made of a series of John Soane-like wooden domes, made to reduce sound reflection. Such a nice way to focus on the invisible part of design, so important to make a place the right place for a memorable dinner or lunch. 2. SERVICE. 5 stars This place másters a unique combination of professionalism and know-how with warmness and lack of pompousness. The result is truly nice. You truly feel welcomed here. And feels like being in the center of the world. . At the same time you feel the enthusiasm for food and wine. No way to resist. With this service: You will automatically become a believer in the power of Alicante's gastronomy . 3. FOOD. 5 stars. Now we get serious. The best tapas!!! The marinera is the best. Amazing fresh seafood. The bacalao buñuelos are a gastronomic chapter on its own. But above all that: do not miss the fideuá. This is the best fideuás I ever had. The fideo is soft and crispy. The flavors are intense and with a bit of a good-olive-oil- bitterness. The food here is indescribable. Just come to taste it. 4. CITY. 5 stars. Something needs to be said about this city Alicante that has beautifully managed to show how to be coastal and urban in a beautiful and meaningful way. But please, keep it secret; we don't want this to become a tourist mess like Barcelona. Ultimately, just come here.

This is really a cop out since it requires no cooking or creativity. Others at the table reported that the fish and meat courses were good. The staff, of which there were quite a few, seemed to be a bit stressed and grumpy and that was a bit distracting from a positive experience.
