October 2008 - Eating Well on the Costa Blanca


There are so many restaurants along our coast that we are never short of places to eat well.


Many of them offer bargains, especially at lunch time, and one can have a 3 course meal from as little as 3.95 Euros. Stunning value as this offers 4 or 5 choices for each course and includes a glass of wine or a beer.


Our branch of the Banco Halifax is in a shopping centre near Playa Flemenca and within this small centre alone there are at least six restaurants.


One day after a visit to El Banco we popped in to a restaurant named “The Sunrise Cafe” for a coffee and late breakfast. We were so immensely impressed with the quality and standard of presentation that we decided to pay a return visit for an evening meal later in the week.


All the staff speak English and and at least one other language and are gathered from all over Europe. The Sunrise is in the La Mosca centre, sits above the N332, overlooking the Mediterranean, with great views all the way to La Manga. Great value for a Menu-Del-Dia, a long, refreshing cocktail or a beer and great for sundowners and delicious evening meals. The food is prepared freshly for each meal and the choice is tremendous. There is a good wine list and the House Wine is of quite a high quality.


Delicious lamb served on the bone

The pictures here show Leg of Lamb on the bone, and their speciality pudding (for two I hasten to add) all served to perfection in the balmy evening air.



Pudding for Two

We will need to be careful or we will end up like Michelin Men!!
