Restaurants
​
El Rubio is our favourite restaurant in Orihuela Costa, it has the most amazing views because it is set out into the sea giving it a 360 panoramic view. The food is great and the atmosphere/music is really good. Located in San Pedro del Pinatar about 25 minutes away..
​
This is also one of our favourite restaurants in Orihuela Costa, it is set overlooking the ocean and the food is really good. They serve burgers, steak, fish, salads and some traditional Spanish dishes such as Paella.
​
​
Finca Rebate is one of the furthest restaurants we go to but it's also one of the best. It is up on a terrace with the tables set under trees and vines. It has a cute little chapel on site and there are loads of little birds waiting for bread. The food is very Spanish and they often have a Flamenco show in the middle of the restaurant.
​
​
Another really great sea view restaurant that serves lovely Spanish cuisine. Only 20 minutes from Las Colinas. They hold quite a few events including New Years Eve parties.
​
​​
Located on the closest beach to Las Colinas, Oasis Beach restaurant is one we have been to many times. The food is good, there is a promenade to walk on and a children's play park out the front.
​
​
This is the best Indian restaurant we have found so far. It's in Cabo Roig and the food is really good and great value.
​
​
This is a small, cosy restaurant just across the road from La Zenia Boulevard (shopping mall). They have some great Poke Bowls, tapas and cocktails and there is evening entertainment at the weekends - open until 2am!
​
​
The best ice cream shop we have found with great views over the marina.
​
​
We often come here for tapas because it is next to our favourite beach Playa del Conde and Heladeria Galán.
