Situated in the Sierra Bernia mountain range, somewhere between Benissa and the Jalon Valley, this…read moreis a difficult place to find, at least without a little local knowledge. However, the effort to get there is well justified by this amazing little restaurant in its stunningly beautiful surroundings. This is no Michelin star dining, but it is rustic Spanish food at its absolute best. And at approximately €18 per head for three courses plus an endless supply of red wine it is an absolute steel. Its situated in old farm buildings, and consequently the seating is arranged in numerous nooks and crannys, complete with dust and cobwebs (its all part of the authentic experience!) There is no menu, you get what you are given! However, you do get a choice of two meats (normally duck or lamb) for the main course. A large bowl of bread is already on the table, along with the red wine which tastes delicious and strong. Warning No.1 - Its highly unlikely that you will leave this restaurant anywhere near sober, just remember you have a mountain to drive down in order to get home!. First course is a potato salad, with a lovely herby mayonnaise dressing. Next comes the vegetable soup, presented in a massive serving bowl in the centre of the table. Salad course is next, and then its the main event - the meat! I have tried both on numerous visits to this restaurant and would have to say that the lamb just nudges it in terms of being my favorite - and as a whole lamb shank its pretty ginormous! The duck is good too, served with a deliciously rich cherry sauce. For pudding, if you can still fit it in, it is usually crepes with orange sauce. Warning No. 2 - don't make dinner plans, you won't want to eat for a long time after this meal! There are often some Spanish musicians around to serenade you while you eat, which all adds to the experience! This is the one restaurant I request a return visit to every time I am in Spain. It is only open at lunchtimes as it is run on a generator and its gets very busy so booking is essential.

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.

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.
