How to Find Costa Blanca Restaurants to Suit Every Taste

In a holiday and tourist area like the Costa Blanca, there are literally thousands of restaurants in every price bracket. You can find multiple instances of chains like McDonald's, through to five star gourmet establishments for that very special, never to be forgotten, exquisite meal.

The Costa Blanca is one of the most cosmopolitan places in Europe. Apart from the typical Spanish restaurants serving Paella, the local specialty, and the many varieties of Tapas, there are eateries that cater for the tastes of virtually every nationality on the globe. Asian, Italian, North African, North and South American, Indian, think of any country and the odds are that there is a restaurant on the Costa Blanca serving its national dishes.

From kangaroo and ostrich steaks to schnitzels or roast beef with Yorkshire pudding and not forgetting some of the finest French cooking to be found anywhere, your taste buds need never get bored.

One of the great gastronomic pleasures of dining out on the Costa Blanca is the opportunity to appreciate the wonderful selection of fresh caught Mediterranean fish dishes.

Most restaurants at both ends of the price scale have outdoor terraces where enjoying a drink while browsing through the menu on a balmy summer evening, perhaps to the sound of the waves lapping on a nearby beach, can become almost an every day experience.

For eight or more months of the year eating out in the open air becomes routine. Both children and adults enjoy a barbecue especially when on holiday.

All along the Costa Blanca and in the spectacular inland areas, there are numerous restaurants that light up their BBQs to cook all the traditional ingredients often with locally sourced fish, meat and game.

Barbecued fresh sardines and prawns are a delicious local Spanish favourite.

When it comes to finding restaurants that appeal to tourists on a limited budget, you'll probably be looking for Costa Blanca restaurants that belong to a regional or national chain.

There is nothing wrong with these restaurants; some have the best value food in the area. For example Subway have just opened their first branch in Benidorm with the expectation of more to come.

However, if you're new to the Costa Blanca or holidaying here and looking for some local or unfamiliar cuisine and culture then the 'world is your oyster'. Chain restaurants serve their purpose in offering something familiar in an unfamiliar place, but part of visiting a new country or region or relocating is to experience the local culture, which includes the cuisine.

An added pleasure to eating out on the Costa Blanca is the vast selection of excellent local wines available at bargain prices. The reputation of Spanish wines has suffered as they are reputed to be bad travelers but here on the Costa Brava they really do represent excellent value for taste and quality.

If you want to find local Costa Blanca restaurants, all you need to do is to determine what type of cuisine you're seeking and how much you're looking to spend.

You can find everything from luxurious five-star dining to plenty of caf type eateries and tapas bars that are local favourites and have been around for years.

Many printed Costa Blanca town guides will advertise and review local restaurants, but the ultimate decision will be up to you, depending on what appeals and suits your budget and the occasion.

Searching the Costa Blanca restaurants directory might seem overwhelming at first, but if you have an idea that takes your fancy, you shouldn't have much trouble.

Our featured restaurants are able to update their menus, prices and special events every week. A quick way to find a unique place and great food is to visit the restaurants website listed in the guide.

Their menus, prices and photos will give you a better idea of what to expect than an advert or review.

The Directory of the Costa Blanca wishes you 'bon apetit.'
