Fantastic Tapas and probably the best Sepia a la Plancha in town! Locals go here and tourists…read morehappen upon it. Try and aim for 1:30pm - 2pm or 7pm -8pm to enjoy a relaxing drink and food. Otherwise go anytime you want and wait for a table and totally enjoy great food and drink and watching the world go by.

Don't waste your time and money. Bland and tasteless food…read more Big disappointment. It's either that people who reviewed the place are clueless or who knows what!!!

I was looking for a low key place to eat some tapas and have a few drinks so we ask a local taxi…read moredriver that suggested this place. He said it was very popular among locals because it had a chill vibe, service was great and food and drinks were cheap. We arrived around 3pm and easily found two seats at the bar. The inside space is super small, make sure you don't go in rush hours, usually at dinner time is packed. Right away a girl came to take our order and we ask for two 'Tintos de verano' which is a traditional summer cocktail in Spain. The amount was generous and the taste wasreally good. We also order some 'Jamón de Bellota' and 'ensaladilla rusa'. To be honest not the best quality but it was ok. I love foia gras so I asked the chef for a tapa with it. He prepared the most delicious tapa right on the spot. Overall, the staff is super friendly, food is good and price is even better!

Friendly, local, cool. Initiate…read more Nixe is in a neighbourhood of gastropubs and tapas bars, younger crowds and a good vibe. This place is off a side street, but well worth the diversion. Welcoming staff - husband and wife. All smiles and warmth, they were happy to make food and drink recommendations to a Valencia novice that got my evening off to a great start. I had a half-size cheese and meat platter that was freshly prepared and served quickly. A local IPA recommended was a perfect accompaniment. I had to follow up with the smoked sardine tostas- simple yet divine! The sardines were plump and juicy, subtly smoky. Unfortunately these smoky little fish are bought from a fishmonger - nothing I can take back home with me. Afterwards they were happy to suggest some off the tourist track sights to see.

It's next to impossible to get a table here anymore since the food is fantastic and a great price…read moreand so few tables. The chef and his family run the place and it has a great intimate feel with a creative menu. The food and drink are lovely .. Lots of modern interpretation of valencian flavors and ingredients.

We live close to Elias every time we're in Torrevieja and are there almost every night. Torrevieja…read moreis pretty touristy overall but this is a hidden gem. The owner, Jorge, is the nicest restaurant owner you'll ever find and he personally makes every order of paella. If you want the experience of a real, true tapas bar with a true Spanish feel. Go to Elias. There is no excuse for not coming here when in Torrevieja, absolutely the nicest and best restaurant in Torrevieja.

We have eaten with Jorge, the owner of Elias tapas restaurant for each of the four years in a row…read morewe have vacationed in torrevieja. He and his daughters run the restaurant with a few close coworkers who may as well be family, and their service is as good as the food. Everything, from boquerones (lightly fried large sardines) to patatas bravas to pulpo (octopus) has been perfect every time. And the prices are fantastic at 6 euro for a plate of boquerones and 3 euro for the patatas bravas. But by far our favorite is the made to order paella mixto. Jorge puts love into his cooking, and this, and his fresh seafood and vegetables, keep us coming. Ack year after year. It is always our first meal when we reach torrevieja, our home away from home.
