Restaurant Recommendations in Alicante (City) and Valencia (Old Town)

[gulfporter]

It's our 1 year delayed 50th Anniversary trip.

 

We have made reservations for that night in Alicante at https://stekirestaurante.es/ which will be our 1st ever Michelin starred eatery. 

 

We prefer tapas and small bites to heavy meals.  

 

Any all suggestions in either city appreciated!

Restaurante "La Salita", in Valencia has high praises from some of my friends. I have not been in Valencia for > 25 years.

She was the winner of the 1st edition of Top Chef Spain (but Begoña's reputation as a cook came earlier that the trophy)

Gracias!  

 

Our VRBO hosts recommended  Lienzo  https://www.restaurantelienzo.com/  for my 70th birthday on the 27th.   

 

Will look into Salita as well.  Mi esposo's BD is the 26th.  

 

It's a weeklong celebration for us 🍷💣🥂
