The owner, Jorge, is the nicest restaurant owner you'll ever find and he personally makes every order of paella. If you want the experience of a real, true tapas bar with a true Spanish feel. Go to Elias. There is no excuse for not coming here when in Torrevieja, absolutely the nicest and best restaurant in Torrevieja.

We have eaten with Jorge, the owner of Elias tapas restaurant for each of the four years in a row…read morewe have vacationed in torrevieja. He and his daughters run the restaurant with a few close coworkers who may as well be family, and their service is as good as the food. Everything, from boquerones (lightly fried large sardines) to patatas bravas to pulpo (octopus) has been perfect every time. And the prices are fantastic at 6 euro for a plate of boquerones and 3 euro for the patatas bravas. But by far our favorite is the made to order paella mixto. Jorge puts love into his cooking, and this, and his fresh seafood and vegetables, keep us coming. Ack year after year. It is always our first meal when we reach torrevieja, our home away from home.

Tasty food and great service, I will visit again!…read more The restaurant is located in El Chaparral, a residential area between the two salt lakes (las Lagunas de Torrevieja y La Mata). This is one of their three locations and it is less busy than the one in the city center (other locations are on their website, just added it to the listing). The food and the prices are the same in all three restaurants. Tried pork knuckle, stroganoff beef and chicken, smoked salmon salad and bread with ham (all pictured). Everything tasted great and freshly made. They bake their own buns, really enjoyed them. I think the sauces they served (ali-oli and tomato) were also made here, tasted differently from what I tried in other places. Red house wine was fine. Tiramisu desert was delicious! They say they are an international cuisine restaurant - a bit of everything from everywhere. The menu is quite long and I was surprised all meals were available. One can visit several times and try different food. I will definitely be back! P.S. Cards accepted, free WiFi, parking is easy and free UPDATE (5 hours later): I will never remember the name of the restaurant :-) I typed it several times in pics' captions, wrote a review and shared it all over the place. Still can't remember it!!! 5 stars anyway :)

Although the food is really good, it's not the main reason why this is a top notch restaurant. It is the combination of an extremely forthcoming and polite staff, together with a smooth and calm atmosphere at the roof top which makes this restaurant the best one in the city (at least for my girlfriend and I). It has lived up to all of our expectations, and we will have no problem returning for a second meal this vacation!
