Restaurante Restobar Gema Penalva

Our tour guide gave us some suggestions for places with fresh local ingredients and this one was the best tapas we have had in Alicante. The service was fast and efficient and the staff very friendly. Creative presentations and everything was just amazing. This is not the typical tourist trap. The prices were really very reasonable. You will not be disappointed!

Just great and relaxed atmosphere... Perfect for the first Date ore every other evening

Staff extremely friendly and helpful.
Really appreciate their great attitude.

We ordered several dishes including the paella which was fantastic

I just showed up and was able to grab a seat at the bar. Javier was awesome and made some amazing recommendations as well as wine pairings. I was able to sample a few wines before making a selection which was greatly appreciated. The highlight for me was the poached egg with truffles.

Favourite place in the city. Great good and service. Book ahead.

It was really Food! The staff is kind and super friendly towards babies and kids! There are pencils and drawings tô paint! The food is really good! The duck was spectacular!

Definately among top food experiences in alicante and beyond. Fresh ingredients and inspirational combinations results in creating very very good results. Equally good choices of wine pairings. I would suggest increasing the portions a bit for the respective prices. Gourmet is not necessarily reduced in quantity. My compliments to the chef.also very polite waiters. Keep u the good work and always find a way to improve

Easy location, in the centre next to car parks. Great food and well priced. Very attentive staff and would recommend. We will be back. We don't have any photos as we were too eager to eat.!

This is a stunning restaurant with a very clever chef. Beautiful food presented well, great service and interesting menu. Would happily come to Alicante just to eat here.

Gema's cooking puts a modern twist on traditional recipes passed down by her mother and grandmother. The result is inventive and flavorful cuisine that showcase love and skill in equal proportion. Everything we tried was delicious, but the highlights were the melt-in-your-mouth solomillo and a dessert made with mascarpone cream, dates and chocolate. Gema's husband, Javier, was a delightful host and server whose warmth and hospitality contributed to a thoroughly enjoyable evening. We've had a lot of great meals in Alicante, but this was our favorite and we already can't wait to go back!

Beautiful food, every dish was amazing, and great value.

Good place, kind of hidden in plain sight. Good original dishes and wide selection of wine.

Fantastic food and extremely friendly service - terrific experience

Superb tapas.

Espacio muy recomendable para degustar unos platos redondos elaborados con mucho mimo.
Es conveniente dejarse aconsejar por el personal para escuchar los ingredientes, su elaboración y reconocer sus sabores.

Fuimos por una recomendación y salimos encantadas con todo.

El local cuenta con dos espacios acogedores, mesas altas y bajas. La decoración es muy bonita y el ambiente cálido.

La atención del personal es perfecta desde el momento en el que entras. Muy atentos y serviciales.

La carta es amplia con gran surtido de tapas frías y calientes. Tiene una selección de cocas saladas y platos de carne o pescado para completar. Nosotras pedimos platos para compartir y todos estaban deliciosos.

Plato recomendado el huevo poché con crema de calabacín y trufa.
