As I told you in my First Visit and Second Visit, this is an Alicante restaurant specialized in Asian-Mediterranean fusion cuisine that is also one of my very favorites in alicante together with Maillard restaurant and, although they both work in the same fusion cuisine field, the whole thing is very different in this restaurant.
Ernesto Frutos, chef and owner, worked for many years under the orders of David Muñoz (recently recognized as the Best Chef in the World) at his worldwide famous DiverXo restaurant, so his cuisine is very original and elaborate.
They currently have a ⭐4.8 rating in Google Maps and my personal rating was ⭐5.
