The service was disgusting. - we were not offered small tasters as we had been previously - our plates were very small compared to the Spanish diners for exactly the same dish - when we asked for our bill we had been over-charged for wine. There were 5 adults. The manager said we could only have one drink per person. yet in 30 years of dining in spain we have always had 1/2 bottle of wine per person. Despite that he tried to charge us Euros10 for the second bottle of wine AND extra for the waters we had. We fully understand you get 1/2 a bottle of wine OR water OR whatever..this guy was simply ripping off tourists. The staff treated us very very badly and I told them I was going to describe in detail the experience in internet review sites unless the complaint was resolved. We have been visiting Spain for 30 years and this is the only time we have ever been treated badly. We felt the staff were being dishonest with us and deliberately over-charging because we were tourists. in the end I paid the correct amount, left, and suggested they call the police!!! If you are not Spanish apoid this place.

Very seriously: IF YOU ARE IN ALICANTE, Make SURE YOU EAT HERE!!!!…read more This is one of the places in the world where every simple aspect of what makes a restaurant work is perfectly taken care of, and is well assembled with the others. 1. Space 2. Service 3. Food 4. City 1. SPACE. 5 stars Nou Manolin is located in a beautiful and lively part of Alicante's historical center. On the ground floor, a large (and yet intimate) square bar occupies the entire floor. This is a bar where customers sit on a first come first served dynamic. Here you can informally eat out of tapas, that are served in a gracious and fun way. It is totally unpretentious, and totally sophisticated. This hall could not be more beautiful. No one single testaurant-Indra cliche to be found here. All pure eclecticism that reveals the long term existence of the establishment. So beautiful! The upper floor is more of a table serviced restaurant, beautifully decorated in a Mediterranean-design style, and with great care for impecable acoustics. The ceiling is made of a series of John Soane-like wooden domes, made to reduce sound reflection. Such a nice way to focus on the invisible part of design, so important to make a place the right place for a memorable dinner or lunch. 2. SERVICE. 5 stars This place másters a unique combination of professionalism and know-how with warmness and lack of pompousness. The result is truly nice. You truly feel welcomed here. And feels like being in the center of the world. . At the same time you feel the enthusiasm for food and wine. No way to resist. With this service: You will automatically become a believer in the power of Alicante's gastronomy . 3. FOOD. 5 stars. Now we get serious. The best tapas!!! The marinera is the best. Amazing fresh seafood. The bacalao buñuelos are a gastronomic chapter on its own. But above all that: do not miss the fideuá. This is the best fideuás I ever had. The fideo is soft and crispy. The flavors are intense and with a bit of a good-olive-oil- bitterness. The food here is indescribable. Just come to taste it. 4. CITY. 5 stars. Something needs to be said about this city Alicante that has beautifully managed to show how to be coastal and urban in a beautiful and meaningful way. But please, keep it secret; we don't want this to become a tourist mess like Barcelona. Ultimately, just come here.

The place opened at 1pm and shortly after, the small place was quickly filled up with patrons. I do believe there is a connecting room with more tables (maybe for the dinner crowd). We ordered the grilled octopus and the grilled scallops. But were extremely tender and you could taste the freshness of the seafood. We also got the fried eggplant sticks which was pretty good, but we had better elsewhere in Malaga Spain. My son got two meat sliders which he also devoured. All in all, great local place with local patrons and a must recommend.
