In last weeks holidays we had 9 dinner opportunities south of Valencia. Since the Telero was by far…read morethe best restaurant, we have chosen it a second time, for our last days dinner. And it was as superbe as the first time again. We have found warm and friendly hospitality combined with exquisite dishes and wines. The two evenings in the Telero are of our best holiday souvenirs of Spain. The restaurants we visited at the other evenings had been selected by our daughter and she had chosen restaurants with ratings near the maximum. The dishes in the Telero have topped them all. The appetizers have been delicious, the fish and meat courses tasted fresh, perfectly flavoured and exquisitely refined. We look forward to come back and thank the Telero team for these two outstanding dinners.

I was hoping to get the fixed menu (28€) so I could sample a variety of dishes, but they would not allow me to order it because you must have at least two people order it. Not sure why they couldn't cut the portions down to serve one, but okay. I ordered the "filled scallop" on a plate of flaming salt. It was decent. For my main, I had the thin steak which came with a small serving of veggie. It wasn't anything too exciting, but it was okay. The thing that was annoying was there was a basket of bread with two pieces on the table. Naturally we figured it was gratis, so we had a piece and a half. We were charged 3€ for a piece and a half of that kind of stale bread. I felt that was a bit dirty, but at least the wine was reasonably cheap. The flamenco show was overall pretty good. The dancers were all talented and very committed. The costumes were nice.

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.

This was a Michelin rated restaurant and obviously thrives on the fact. Reservations are required…read more The sittings are timed but sufficient to allow for one to enjoy the varied and tapas style cuisine. We could only get two stools at the bar which might likely have suited a more romantic and younger couple. Despite this setback due to a previous day in-person last minute reservation the food and ambiance was excellent. Must say despite the frantic activity the staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. Our shared dishes were Grilled Sardines, Black Sausage (the best we've ever tasted), Cod Croquettes (nothing exceptional), Pimentos de Padron & Salad. The wine by the glass was good bit I'd skip the local region French style overly expensive Sauvignon Blanc and stick to Verdejo or other Spanish wines on offer. This is not a restaurant for a relaxing or a laid back evening. I don't think the servers feet ever touch the ground and the kitchen must be volcanic! Great value and well worth a one-off experience. Our meal €64.35 for 2 and like many tourists was rounded up to $65.00. We might be tempted to return but definitely only to sit at a table.
