This an Andalusian and Alicante cuisine restaurant located in the old town, that opened its doors a couple of years ago and which is characterized by great innovation in most of the dishes on its menu, good market products and reasonable prices.
The head chef and owner Juanlu Parra, is a native of Alicante who worked for many years in Andalusian restaurants run by 3 Michelin starred chef Dani García, becoming head of the R&D department of at least three restaurants belonging to the aforementioned worldwide famous chef, as well as in charge of incorporating new dishes to the menu.
My personal opinion is that the place is nice and also the food, but I didn't find it excellent, since I would have improved some details in almost every dish they served me.
They currently have a ⭐4.9 rating on Google Maps and my personal rating was ⭐4.

After the lunch I decided to visit the Bol Nou beach, rated as one of the best in Villajoyosa town, and take a bath there.
