Nou Manolin
Nou Manolín
An Alicante institution opened in 1971, famous for its legendary bar, fresh seafood display, and rice dishes, featured in the Michelin Guide.
Opened in 1971, this restaurant features a bustling bar on the ground floor and a dining room upstairs, both sharing the same menu (with some half-portions available at the bar). The seafood display at the entrance is the best guide for ordering, with red prawns, small shrimp, langoustines, and oysters being highly popular, alongside the signature "Swarovski" bread. The bar operates on a first-come, first-served basis and often has queues during peak hours; reservations are recommended for the dining room, especially on weekends. Average spend is around €45–60 per person. Located on Calle Villegas near the Rambla (now signposted as Restaurador Vicente Castelló).
