“ We got the tasting menu and were looked after by Mattias excellently! He was very thoughtful and enabled us to pace the tasting menu to our preferences. Very tasty food too, especially the brioche french toast. 5 stars all round! ”
“ Really lovely time. Upscale but casual, beautiful decor, and the food (daily set menu) was either Spanish inspired or Asian fusion, which I had, and enjoyed a lot. Mathias was a terrific host. L ”
“ The food here is quite good. I highly recommend the cheese board, the croquetas and the baked cod. We got a cheese board, croquetas and potato salad for appetizers, a beef dish, bbq ribs and roasted cod for mains. The food is a bit of a fusion of different cuisines, and very well seasoned. The cheese board was very nice. It was a good combo of soft cheese, semi curated cheese and an assortment of jam and nuts. The meat was cooked well. They also served bread that came woth 3 different types of aiolis (curry, squid ink and normal). I got a vermouth, and it tastes amazing. Highly recommend! They also have many different food allergen options and upon request, the server would confirm with the chef. The place was well lit, and the outside has blankets and heating, so it was cold to sit outside. The only thing was the service. Since it wasn’t busy, there was only one server. She was very attentive, and the kitchen was fast with the order. I just wasn’t sure if it’s ok for the server to kick us out before we finished our drinks. I understand it was closing time, but there were still people drinking and chatting. Still, an overall 9/10 experience, I highly recommend trying the food and their drinks. It’s a great place for friends to catch up or just a small date! ”
“ We have just had a wonderful dinner at La Terreta. From the outside it was inviting because of the lovely and warm decor. Service was outstanding and food was absolutely delicious. We didn’t have to wait too long and the menu was full of enticing choices. We had steak and it was cooked perfectly to order. The starters were delicious and looked class! Dessert was to die for! Cocktails were first class. Prices were very much reasonable and the quality, overall, was excellent. Would definitely recommend. ”
“ If you think you’ve had the best croquettes in Spain, you probably haven’t been to this restaurant yet. Every dish we ordered - whether a starter or an exotic paella as the main course, was an absolute treat for the taste buds. I would travel to Alicante again just for this restaurant and the warm, attentive service. I completely fell in love with both the food and the atmosphere. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience, hope to see you again, dear Matias! ”
“ Went here for the meal of the day, very wonderfully Spanish. The wine, the meal, was deliciously tasty. We would recommend this restaurant. Everything about it was perfect. ”
“ The food was of high quality, and the overall atmosphere was excellent We celebrated Valentine's Day (booked table in advance) here and left feeling happy and satisfied. There was a bit of confusion regarding the Valentines menu, and communicating with one waitress was somewhat challenging due to her limited English. However, everything turned out well in the end, and everyone was quite friendly ”
“ La Terreta GOURMET, that is definitely a name this restaurant can claim! Beautiful restaurant, quietly located, stylishly decorated, and the food is amazing!!
