Dieses Restaurant wird von vielen Einheimischen besucht, was in der Regel ein gutes Zeichen ist. Wir haben es dann an einem Sonntag getestet und sind hochgradig begeistert. Die 3 Vorspeisen des Menü des Tages waren köstlich. Hatten Sie schon einmal Auberginen in wenig Panade leicht fritiert mit Honig? Wir wären nie auf die Idee gekommen Auberginen mit Honig zu kombinieren, es schmeckt köstlich. Der Cäsar Salat war richtig reichhaltig. Zur Hauptspeise hatten wir den Bacalao und das Sollomillo. Beides war zart saftig und hervorragend zubereitet. Wenn Sie in der Gegend sind, probieren Sie dieses Restaurant, für uns hat es sich sehr gelohnt.

Neues Juwel in Guardamar. Neu eröffnet und modernisiert, neuer Besitzer. Echtes spanisches Essen, Menü unter der Woche 12,50 inkl Wein, 2 Gerichte, Kaffee oder Nachtisch. Wir hatten gegrillte große Sardinen, wunderbaren Bohneneintopf mit Zebramuscheln. Sehr netter Service, schön gedeckt alles und sehr freundlich. Besser schon gegen 1300 Uhr kommen, sonst wird's schwierig ohne Reservierung.

Fuimos este fin de semana al Restaurante Tabarca de Guardamar y pedimos una fideuà para llevar. ¡Espectacular! La calidad es excelente, el sabor increíble y las raciones son muy generosas, perfectas para compartir. Además, los precios son muy buenos para la calidad que ofrecen. También recomiendo sus paellas, que están igual de exquisitas. Sin duda, un sitio de confianza al que volveremos una y otra vez.

We have been visiting Paco and his family since he opened in 1999, Paco is a friendly host, he does not speak much English but his menu has English so you can get by, the food is mainly sea food, lots of Paellas and tapas all traditionally cooked. The calamari are simply the best around!!! A typical 2 person meal with bread, aliolli, calamari, salad, paella and a nice bottle if wine comes in at about 50 euro, definately worth trying the seafood paella or the mixed, rabbit paella is also delicious. It is a very traditional Spanish restraunt where you can sit and enjoy real Spanish and hospitality.
