Eating at "Maillard" restaurant, Alicante, Alicante 🇪🇦 - Eleventh visit👍👍

January 2023 · 3 min read · Alicante

As I told you previously in my First Visit, Second Visit, Third Visit, Fourth Visit, Fifth Visit, Sixth Visit, Seventh Visit, Eigth Visit, Ninth Visit and Tenth Visit, this is probably my favorite restaurant in Alicante city (4 José Gutiérrez Petén street), both because its price/quality ratio and its good fusion Asian-Mediterranean cuisine.

On this occasion I visited them before embarking on a long journey (which I am currently on) so it was a bit of a farewell and wish them well, since I didn't know if I would see them again.

Also they added again an old acclaimed dish out of menu ("Thai style scallop usuzukuri") that I didn't try before so I had to try it before leaving Spain.

They currently have a ⭐4.7 rating on Google Maps (based on 187 reviews) and my personal rating was ⭐5.

”Tinto de verano” glass (red wine with soda, lemon slices and ice cubes) + olives (€4.50).
