I am hesitant to tell you about L'Ambrossia, because it was that good, and had a magical, complete locals only feel --- no really, locals would pop in and out as they walked by to say hello and give kisses, maybe stopping for a drink before carrying on---... but alas, I must share the wealth of great flavors with my yelpy family. L'Ambrossia is tucked just off the beaten path, in old town Alicante. The owner?, Carlos was incredibly friendly and happy to make recommendations. He even share treats that we hadn't ordered before our dishes came so we could try them - one was a toast with crab salad on it, and the other was a toast with some kind of peppery salami-like paste on it. I wouldn't expect these extra goodies, if I were you, but, if it happens - you'll definitely be delighted. Anyway, it was hot outside, and we'd be walking around a ton - so with lunch, we had a really nice rose both days - the first was Sarria Garnacha and the second was called MO Monastrell - both were light and perfect. Between both days, we tried: Goat cheese balls with honey & caramelized onion - holy hell what a foodgasm - ask for a side of bread Green salad with tomato, pepper, onion, dried tomatoes, sunflower seeds, and basil oil - we added grilled chicken to this and it was heaven. Sandwich - slice of bread with toppings- Grilled fresh tuna with avocado vinaigrette Sandwich - slice of bread with toppings- Sirloin with melted cheese and onion Iberian ham - slices of cured iberian ham that melts in your mouth- Please don't tell anyone about this place on the other review site --rhymes with "grip schmadvisor"-- where stodgy/stuffy/whiney people flock... because L'Ambrossia is legit, and it shouldn't be tainted. Mmmmmmm man now I want to go back and basque in the goodness. Places like this make you want to live nearby so you can be a local, too.

It is a really quiet and peaceful restaurant and the food is representative of your location . A great selection of local fish or steaks all cooked on an open BBQ grill. For starters you can't go wrong with the foie gras - hot or cold both are stunning. The same with the steaks freshly grilled to your liking. And for me the high light was the pudding - lemon and mint sorbet. Simple but one of the best deserts I've had. The taste is enhanced by multiple jelly balls all filled with lemon juice - that really hit you with a sharp lemon flavour as they melt or you bite into them. Will definitely be back - already twice in three days to check it wasn't a one off wonder - it wasn't The staff are great, attentive but not in your face and the overall vibe can be what you want. There are families, couples and friends and you just make it what you want it to be. This trip will be a memorable 40th birthday

Overall it was a great experience! The staff was very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. The prices are a bit high but the overall experience is one to remember. I will be back the next time I make it to this part of Spain.
