"Stumbled across this beautiful little spot and had a fantastic lunch. The stuffed artichokes were perhaps the best I've ever had! The arroz was seasoned perfectly and so delicious. Service and atmosphere were also tops. Can't wait to go back in the fall!"

"We celebrated our wedding anniversary there. The chef was incredibly hospitable, the waiters very friendly, and the food was truly amazing, from the appetizers to dessert.
Thank you for the lovely evening!
We'd love to go back."

"Cesar has created a staple in Alicante. Highly recommend a visit. The staff is also very friendly, attentive and helpful. Lina and Bruno are really terrific staff that made our experiences even better. The food is just delicious. Try everything because there’s nothing that disappoints. From the croquettes to the filet 🥩. This is a must for us when visiting Alicante and I cannot believe I haven’t written a raving review earlier. Hope everyone reading this enjoys San Telmo as much as we do. 🥂"
