El Toro is Calpe's premier steak house specializing in North American Black Angus Beef. Visited…read moretwice during our stay in July 2013. Enrico was the most friendly waiter, and we met him again on our second visit, when he was their with his wife and having a meal too. So if the staff eat at the same palce they work, got to have something about the place. ALWAYS BOOK!!!!! Can't fault the food nor the service. You have to get the attention of the staff sometimes, but that's only because they are so busy. Once you have they are very attentive. Air Conditioned, Children's Menu, Disabled Facilities, Limited Parking, but street parking normally OK, if not competing with the church. Highly recommend the fillet steak, and the spare ribs. The children's menu is equally good. One of the young chefs came out to talk to us on our second visit.

I called to make a reservation because I fancied the location of the restaurant. The service was…read moreone of the best I've ever experienced (I'm only 17 years old though), with really attentive waiters and good manners. The food was nothing extraordinary but tasty as can be. I had some tapas, which were all seasoned amazingly. As a main dish I shared a seafood platter, again really tasty and of good quality. They gave us little refreshers through meals that were on the house, such as shots of gazpacho and mango sorbet and liquor for the grownups at the end of our dining. 10/10, would recommend.

We are in Moraira out of peak-season and were turned away from a different restaurant earlier…read morebecause they'd not ordered any ingredients... so this charming little restaurant was a real find. Tucked away amongst the samey seafood restaurants on the seafront, this intimate traditional Spanish restaurant serves a comprehensive selection of tapas, washed down with local charm and incredibly friendly service. We were served by David, who was very patient with us trying out our very limited Spanish vocab skills. He was constantly smiling and didn't seem to resent speaking to us in English. We ordered a variety of tapas between 4 of us, including flavoursome anchovies, super-fresh calamari, a local octopus stew and some very brave patatas bravas! We particularly enjoyed the albondigas (scrumptious meatballs) and the capresi salad, ordering two portions of each. A very filling meal for 4 including a bottle of cava and some sparkling water came to €96 without service charge and we were very happy to tip. We'd go back again, no doubt

Great coffee, perfect for a drink at sundown, casual with the most beautiful setting.read more

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.

Marina Beach Club boasts a fabulously beautiful location with incredible views of the ocean and the…read moreshores of Valencia. Our recent lunch experience there was nothing short of exquisite! Arriving without a reservation on a Saturday, we were seated without a wait; service was welcoming, quick, and very friendly. Tip: The starter we chose (with advice from our server) was the steamed mussels. As our server had said, we found that a single portion was more than enough for two to share. We also enjoyed several cocktails with our meal that day; my favorite by far was the Pumpkin amuse - delicious! For our main, we shared the fillet of ray (tronco rodaballo). This dish was beautiful to look at, with a taste profile that bordered on distilled awesomeness :-) Bottom line: Fabulous views, excellent service, and wonderful food made our experience here one that I look forward to repeating. While the prices for bread, wine, and coffee were a bit on the high side, the overall cost of our meal was more than reasonable given the quality of the food and the service.

The service here is HORRIBLE. we waited 45 minutes to get when the line was 10 people ahead of us…read more I waited for 30 MINUTES FOR WATER. The waiters blatantly ignore their customers and when they do talk to you they ignored me to my FACE. I asked for a margarita and the waiter WALKED AWAY. We ordered our free cocktails over an hour and a half ago and NOTHING. my friend also ordered a salad and it's been an hour. The workers are extremely rude and the service is HORRIBLE. do not come here no matter WHAT.

The restaurant serves a tapas style dinner so more than one plate is ok to order. The flavors are just very different from dish to dish , it almost feels like the menu is all over the map

The best tapas I have tasted!…read more A small place with a few places inside. The kitchen is also very small as well but it creates magic trough our whole dinner. There are so many good tapas, but a must have is the one with smoked sardines, caramelized apple and Foie gras. It so good that I hade to take one more when we had finished the dinner. The small hamburgers are also a must, and the crochets with truffles. We drank a nice sangria and very nice frozen margaritas. Book in advance to be sure that you get a table.

We ordered the chicken/ rabbit paella and seafood paella both were very flavorful. We also ordered the tuna belly and fried anchovies which were delicious. Very good service as well

Wow, it's been quite a while since this restaurant has gotten a yelp review. I get it, it is out of…read morethe way from Valencia, about a 30minute and $30 dollar taxi ride. Longer if you are in the heart of Valencia, but it is worth it for the award winning paella and seafood. You are surrounded by rice paddies and you know it is a great local spot when there are other spanish folks and the servers speak a little english. Luckily the menu is in spanish and english. Service is great, nice and laid back, enjoy your food, don't rush through it style. The white wine sangria was delicious and refreshing. We had langostine and prawns and the special paella with iberico ham. Every grain of rice was very flavorfull! If you plan to take a taxi back, they staff are kind enough to call a taxi for you, keep in mind it will take 30-40min for the taxi to get to the restaurant. Your alternative option is to take the #24 bus at the center of town back to Valencia which leaves once per hour, check apple or google maps for the time.
