Restaurante Contemple in Alicantes, Guadalest
Loved discovering this Spanish Restaurant – I hesitate to say “hidden gem” because I’ve used that in previous reviews but Restauarante Contemple certainly falls into that category.
It’s a beautiful location with splendid views, a modern style restaurant interior blends with the Spanish countryside and vies of medieval castles on the mountains surrounding.
In this setting we had high expectations for Service (which was excellent!) and the food (which was some of the best we’ve had in the last year).
Try the $70 tasting menu and pair with some local wines. Tasty, beautifully presented and set to the table by experienced and very friendly staff.
I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone and it’s well worth a little drive in the country to find it. Upmarket and delightful.
