This is an unpretentious, pleasantly decorated restaurant popular with Spanish and foreigners…read morealike, but it can tend to get noisy - like most Spanish restaurants. My favourite dish is Hake Florentine - flakes of hake in creamy sauce on a bed of spinach - out of this world - very filling. The dining room is tastefully decorated, and I don't get the 'mass production' feeling I do in some of the other restaurants in the area. This is a good place for family meals - good selection, slightly more up-market than the competitors. The service tends to get slow if there are a lot of customers - beware - ask for the bill in plenty of time if you want to leave on time- but excellent value for money.

We have been going to Pepe's restaurant in Alcalali for over 15 years. My wife and I spend the…read morewinter in Spain and have about 7 or 8 restaurants which we frequent on a regular basis. Of these, Pepe's is our favourite. He, himself, is always friendls and welcoming as is his very professional staff. The food is excellent and never varies in quality, so that you can always be sure that if you take anyone there for the first time, they are going to enjoy both the food and the experience. If you haven't already had a meal there, give it a try, you won't regret it. Ray and Margaret Pidgeon.

Two of us ate here this afternoon after our climb to the Bernia fortress. We were hungry. It's an…read moreelegant glass-fronted restaurant run by a British couple who recently bought it. We were enthusiastically greeted and made to feel comfortable. It was late afternoon , an odd time for lunch in Spain (I mean 5 o'clock). The menu was all available, including a delicious looking set of tapas, sandwiches and a course menu for 17.95€. We had some tapas and sandwiches. My burger was beautifully put together and tasty, juicy and nicely. We had some drinks and coffee and all came to 32€. It's not everyone who wants to climb the very windy though nicely surfaced road to get here. But the Bernia mountains are beautiful and offer breathtaking views of inland valleys in one direction and the shore mountains, towns and ocean on the other. The walk to the fortress gives you both from an amazing height. The Real de Bernia extends the view letting you look back at the mountain you just climbed while having a delicious lunch.

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.

The service is very nice and motivated, but when the business gets busy, they seem to be a little overwhelmed to keep things under control. Anyway the food is delicious.

Staff clueless, dim, uninterested, and not even qualified to serve bananas to monkeys. Go there at your own risk, and make sure to bring a bullhorn to shout your order to the deaf waitress, and master sign language as a backup. Then translate everything, write it down and hand 4 copies to your waiter, the chef, and the little guy who runs the place with all the charm of a miniature 'El Chapo'. Then maybe, just maybe, you'd get half of what you ordered. I won't be back there in a hurry.

I decided to write this review in English as everyone will probably be able to understand it! For a…read morefirst review of a restaurant, it is better according to me! Cal Morell is a little charming & authentic restaurant in Orba. We clearly recognize the Spanish touch and style in the decoration and interior layout. The restaurant is open in the evening (quite late for such a small town I must say - we arrived at 9.30PM) and offers the possibility to choose between two menus that vary weekly; one at 15€ and the other at 18€. The 2 types offer a starter, main course, dessert and a drink (wine included). Price/quality ratio is very good! In addition to the salad that we took as starter, we also got also tapenades and Iberian ham with delicious toasts. Personally, I found it quite good but a little bit too fat and the brownie had more a taste of gingerbread cake... A good 3.5/5 to conclude!
