Restaurant Oustau de Altea, located at Carrer Major, 5, 03590 Altea, Alicante, Spain, presents a delightful Mediterranean dining experience. The restaurant is particularly noted for its stunning terrace, surrounded by lush nature and adorned with beautiful decor that encourages guests to linger. Many patrons appreciate the generous portions and flavorful dishes, with a standout mention of the eggplant, which has surprised and pleased many diners. The menu allows for individual selection of dishes, making it easy to share and sample a variety of flavors.

We had a fantastic evening. We celebrated a 60th wedding anniversary. Food was excellent, as always! We were looked after in such a caring and professional way. The location is amazing and staff is super nice! Thank you to the entire team, see you again soon!

I had heard about this restaurant for many years, and we finally managed to go. I only have good things to say about our experience. I don’t want to go on too long, but I want to highlight the quality of the product and the good preparation of the dishes. The food was delicious. I also want to mention the service. We were attended by Iván, who deserves a 10, just like Oliver, the owner, who was attentive to us at all times. Additionally, I want to mention the cremaet that Sebas prepared for us to conclude the experience. We already congratulated everyone at the restaurant and assured them that we would return. A 10 for the whole team and their kitchen.

We have been coming to this place for many years. One of the best restaurants on the Costa Blanca! The wonderful food cannot be compared to anything. The staff is super friendly and attentive, especially we want to highlight Iván, who always treats us very well.

The place is stunning, especially the terrace, surrounded by nature and adorned with beautiful decor that makes you want to linger for hours. We opted for the set menu, which included a cocktail either before or after the meal; we chose to have it beforehand, and it was delicious and well-prepared, although we would have appreciated a bit more time before the dishes were served so we could enjoy it at a leisurely pace. The food was delightful, with generous portions and plenty of flavor. A special mention goes to the eggplants, which were a true surprise. Perhaps a little more attention to presentation would elevate everything to a perfect score, but in terms of taste and quantity, it was outstanding. The house wine, a Ribera del Duero, pleasantly surprised us: we expected something simpler, but it turned out to be of very good quality. Additionally, each diner can choose their dish from the menu, which is fantastic if you enjoy sharing and trying different options. We particularly want to highlight one of the waiters, who was charming: cheerful, attentive, and with a friendly demeanor that made the meal even more enjoyable. If everyone conveyed that kind of energy, this place would be a solid 10. In summary, an incredible spot with delicious food, a great atmosphere, and very friendly service. With just a little extra attention to presentation and a more coordinated service, it would be perfect. Still, it's highly recommended, and it's a place we will definitely return to.

An unforgettable experience from the very first minute. The staff's friendliness and charm added a fun touch to the occasion. Great value for money. We ordered four dishes to share, and everything was exquisite and full of flavor. Honestly, every bite was a delight. I highly recommend it, and we will definitely be back.

My partner and I visited Altea for a walk round and dinner. This was one of the spots she found in advance... And wow. Food was great, service even better, plus a fantastic setting and atmosphere - all with very reasonable prices. I can highly recommend this restaurant, I will be back.

This restaurant is wonderful. The food is exceptional and the staff warm, welcoming and friendly. Even the owner/manager visited all tables to say hello and ensure everyone was enjoying their meals. Only one thing led me to give 4/5 for service - when we arrived (we had a reservation for 2 ppl) and we were given a choice between 3 different tables in the restaurant. We chose one, sat down, ordered our bottle of wine and food. Then the maître came over and asked us to move as someone else had booked the table we had. Seemed very odd given they offered us that table as well as two others. So that was slightly odd and disappointing, but otherwise the service was good. Strongly recommend having a reservation as its a very popular and busy restaurant.
