La Alcazaba - Calp

We have just returned from a short break in Calpe. Being early season we found that most of the restarants closed early evening. We found the menus in the restaurants that were open to be uninspiring and quite expensive. Then one evening we came across La Alcazaba which is located at the end of promenade from the Old Town. La Alcazaba offers an extensive menu together with a range of menu's of the day. We thought we would give it a try. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The restaurant itself was decorated to a high quality and the atmosphere was warm and relaxing. We decided to have one of the menus for the day, there was a great choice and we were offered further choices. We had a three course meal. The food was excellent quality and plenty of it.The prawn cocktail was to die for. The menu included a bottle of wine, we chose a Rose whch again was good quality. Our waiter was friendly and attentive to ensure that we were enjoying our meal. All of this for approx £15 each. A great surprise was a complimentay brandy which really ended our experience on a high. We could not recommend La Alcazaba highly enough. We did in fact return to La Alcazaba two further evenings during our stay, each time the quality and choices were the same. It would be safe to say that La Alcazaba became a highlight of our holiday.

We happened on this restaurant whilst walking Called Rock. Two Menu's del Dias, we opted for the 12€ three courses with wine, bread, alioli and a amuse bouche! The mussels in lemon were delicious as was the fish soup. The pork chop was succulent and grilled salmon perfect. All served by a friendly and helpful waiter.

We visited this restaurant as we were looking for a pizzeria and this seemed nice. Service was fast and very polite, until the pizzas arrived. We had ordered the same pizzas but they were completely different! One was very fresh, straight from the oven and tasted very good. The other was a complete disaster. It was obviously old and had been put in the oven one more time. They didn’t even look the same. After we told the waiter he had a look at the pizza and declared that nothing was wrong with it. We showed him the difference but he ignored to notice it. This behaviour really put me off! Finally he offered a new pizza but my hunger had gone. If they can serve old pizzas, trying to save 9€, what else can they do?? Stay away from this place, you don’t know what you are actually served!

Have visited several times. Very good value menu of the day with a huge plate of fresh grilled fish or choice of paellas, plus starter and bottle of wine. We chose pizzas this evening which range from 7 euros. Very good, delicious toppings and a thin base, plus a jug of sangria. The table next door had tuna steak. I have never seen such an enormous portion Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough 10/10

We visited Calpe in March and discovered this restaurant by chance. What a find. We had a superb meal in wonderful surroundings served by great staff. Thank you for a lovely evening. We will be back next time we visit
