Piripi
This highly regarded restaurant is strong on rice, seafood and fish, which arrives fresh and daily from the wholesale markets of Denia and Santa Pola. There's a huge variety of tapas (we counted 10 different cylinders of salami and sausage arraigned on the bar and one of the jovial team of waiters is engaged constantly in cutting near-transparent slices of prime quality ham). There's a valenciano speciality that changes daily.

One One
It’s easier if you speak a little Spanish at this wonderfully eccentric place (pronounced ‘on-eh, on-eh’) with its faithful following of regulars but a touch of bravado will get you by (just ask your ebullient host about his travels to Peru). It’s a true bistro, the walls scarcely visible for photos and posters, and there’s no menu. Just listen carefully as Bartólome intones…

El Trellat
Beside the covered market, this small, friendly place does exceptionally creative, flexible menús: first course a serve-yourself buffet, then an ample choice of inventive mains. For dessert, trust Manuel, the chef/owner; he previously worked in Alicante’s premier cake shop.

Cantina Villahelmy
One wall’s rough stone, another bright orange and navy blue, painted with skeletons, creepy-crawlies and a frieze of classical figures. Intimate, funky and popular, the Villahelmy has lots of snacks, excellent salads and a menu that features dishes from couscous to octopus.

Pintxo Kalea
Basque music wails and jigs in the background at this modern, stylish bar and restaurant, which does a wonderful selection of juicy pinchos (canapés), salads, steaks and, being Basque, cod prepared in four different ways.

Color de Especías
Eat in the sensual surroundings of this restaurant with its deep red decor and intimate lighting. Dishes, such as confit of duck in a mango and pear coulis, are truly creative, blending in harmony sweet and sour, salt and vinegar.
