ALICANTE - ELDA - RESTAURANTE LA TORRETA

RESTAURANTE LA TORRETA MAY BE CLOSED

We visited this traditional roadside restaurant in the Sax / Elda area of Alicante on the recommendation of our friend, Howard Goldsmith, who has lived there for 12 years.

It is run by two very friendly sisters who were our hosts for the day.

There is a large indoor seating room and a shaded outdoor terrace area for when the weather is good, which seems to be almost always.

On this occasion, we ate inside as the weather was a bit inclement, although the sun was back to its best when we left.

The food was excellent and good value for the price

We started with a plate of grilled cheese on a bed of thinly sliced tomato, drizzled in olive oil

Espárragos a la parrilla (grilled asparagus)

Boquerones fritos (deep-fried anchovies)

Chiperones a la plancha (tender grilled baby squid)

Mains include:

Merluza a la parrilla (grilled hake)

Lento asado de cordero cocido (la especialidad de la casa) slow-cooked shoulder of lamb (the house specialty)

Chuleton (T Bone steak)

We had the following.

Salmón fresco y gambas en salsa de cava (fresh salmon & prawns in cava sauce)

Chuletas de cordero a la parrilla (grilled lamb chops)

Solomillo (fillet steak)

Entrecote steak

A selection of desserts was then offered, along with excellent coffee.

Wines were 2 x Pesquera 2014 at €24 each.

And we finished with a glass of Pedro Ximé.nez.

It is a nice place for lunch, dinner, or even for a special event (groups are catered for) and would be a great location on a summer day.

Service is very friendly and attentive.

The bill for six well-fed and happy customers came to €216
