* denotes not to be missed, but this might be for overall value more than food quality.

LAS VEGAS  TEULADA  96574 0341  Low Price. Tapas available
Menu del dia €12-18   (incl wine) if you arrive before 2pm for lunch. Don’t confuse with the Las Vegas in Moraira which is a late bar. This one is in the Spanish town of Teulada at the top of Moraira valley.  3 course menus starting from 12 euros to 18 euros. Includes half bottle wine.

 *LE DAUPHIN  96 649 0432 Portet bay Moraira  High price
Probably the best situated restaurant in Moraira, and maybe the Costa Blanca., overlooking Portet beach. Dine on the terrace in the summer with a fabulous views & a lovely sea breeze.   It’s quite expensive for Spain, but for the location, and the quality of the food, its actually rather reasonable.  About 60-70 euros a head for the food and the sky’s the limit for the wine. However you can buy nice quality wine for about 20-25 euros. There is no hard sell on the wine and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Well behaved children are often seen dining with parents.

Booking a must(they do close for some time during August) 4 course set meal with local wine from the vats, about €15  Superb atmosphere, rookerty old building with high ceilings. Wonderful .
