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.

The restaurant looked a bit worn out when I visited last time a couple of years ago, now totally refurbished. Probably more expensive now too. Or maybe it's because there were 9 of us :) Paellas are served in large pans (we ordered three). The pans were put on a table next to us and then the paellas served to plates. One pan for two is fine if you are hungry. 1/3 a pan was not enough for me this time. One pan is currently 23€. Bottle of red house wine 12€. The restaurant is located in La Mata town, just 3 minutes walk from the sea. Go for a walk along the beach after your visit and enjoy the weather, day or night. They close in the winter months I believe.

From arriving to leaving I cannot give this restaurant high enough praise. We arrived earlier than…read morethe rest of our party so sat at the bar for a drink. The barman asked for our order and mine was a dry vodka martini , why change the habit of a lifetime lol. After a few minutes he came over with an iced martini glass, a bottle of vodka and a bottle of vermouth. Smiling, he said ' 50/50?' My reply '90/10'. A great guy that started a wonderful evening. When the remainder of our party arrived we were shown to our table, outside on the patio overlooking the sea. What could make this idyllic situation better. The food. There was a mixture of orders around the table and everyone was in awe of the standard of cuisine. My mussels were totally delicious. A fantastic restaurant with good food, excellent service with a friendly attitude. We loved the place and, if we are back in the area, will be revisiting.

Sin lugar a dudas un emplazamiento que no debes dejar de visitar si estás o pasas por Torrevieja.

We hope someone else will have a better experience than we did
