In last weeks holidays we had 9 dinner opportunities south of Valencia. Since the Telero was by far…read morethe best restaurant, we have chosen it a second time, for our last days dinner. And it was as superbe as the first time again. We have found warm and friendly hospitality combined with exquisite dishes and wines. The two evenings in the Telero are of our best holiday souvenirs of Spain. The restaurants we visited at the other evenings had been selected by our daughter and she had chosen restaurants with ratings near the maximum. The dishes in the Telero have topped them all. The appetizers have been delicious, the fish and meat courses tasted fresh, perfectly flavoured and exquisitely refined. We look forward to come back and thank the Telero team for these two outstanding dinners.

I was hoping to get the fixed menu (28€) so I could sample a variety of dishes, but they would not allow me to order it because you must have at least two people order it. Not sure why they couldn't cut the portions down to serve one, but okay. I ordered the "filled scallop" on a plate of flaming salt. It was decent. For my main, I had the thin steak which came with a small serving of veggie. It wasn't anything too exciting, but it was okay. The thing that was annoying was there was a basket of bread with two pieces on the table. Naturally we figured it was gratis, so we had a piece and a half. We were charged 3€ for a piece and a half of that kind of stale bread. I felt that was a bit dirty, but at least the wine was reasonably cheap. The flamenco show was overall pretty good. The dancers were all talented and very committed. The costumes were nice.

We live close to Elias every time we're in Torrevieja and are there almost every night. Torrevieja…read moreis pretty touristy overall but this is a hidden gem. 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.

Excellent food, we had rabbit, cheese, jamon, stuffed roasted peppers, bread, olives. All very…read moretasty

My husband and I walked in without a reservation on a Saturday night. We were given the only…read moreoption of sitting at the bar. It was explained that there was a reservation for those chairs in 90 minutes. We agreed we could dine in less time. We started with the house white wine. It was pleasant. We asked for the cod croquettes. They were tender and flavourful. Our 2nd choice was the sausage cooked in cider. It had big flavour! Our bread soaked up the sauce. The 3rd was the blood sausage. It was my absolute favorite. I've been all over the world and have had lots of "blood pudding". This is by far the best. We finished with a cheese plate with 3 kinds. A flavourful plate. Not for wimps. It was accompanied by walnuts and candy. I spread some softer cheese on the rest of my bread. We had a very enjoyable experience. The staff was wonderful. 42 euro for 4 shared tapas, bread plate and 2 glasses of wine each. Nice vibe. Relaxing. Lots of decore to look at.
