La Encarnacion. - Los Alcázares

Muy buen restaurante en Loa Alcázares al sur de Alicante. Este restaurante queda en primera línea de playa de una larguísima caminería al borde de la playa. El pueblo lo conocí poco, pero me pareció que no tenía muchas opciones. La playa es fabulosa. La caminería sencilla. El restaurante es bastante grande con varios ambientes. Una terraza fabulosa en la que el sol de invierno es una bendición. Una carpa con unas 15 mesas grandes y en la casona otra zona más pequeña con unas 6 a 8 mesas Aparte un jardín interno en el que también vimos gente comiendo. La comida y el servicio nos parecieron excelentes. Comimos el menú, que tenía 3 entradas abundantes y luego el caldero, que era la primera vez que lo probamos y nos encantó . Los postres lo menos logrado, pero igual estaban bien. Vimos muchas mesas grandes. Era domingo. Pienso que vienen muchas familias de zonas aledañas solo a comer allí. La experiencia bien vale la pena. Lo recomiendo

Restaurante La Encarnacion was a major disappointment for our final lunch during this visit. As usual the food quality and presentation was excellent but on this occasion the customer service was well below expectations. I highlight the lead waitress as the source of our discontent. We had the audacity to ask for the menu del dia having only been given the a la carte menu. This simple ask appeared to irk the lady. My wife does not eat pork/ham and we discussed this and yet the salad arrived with pieces of ham. Our seafood paella arrived with clam shells unopened. When I tried to point this out after 3 attempts I was again treated with disdian at having to point out an obvious error. The waitress arrived back with recooked clams which had been microwaved and not so much as an apology was muttered. Once our lunch was completed I attempted to speak to the hotel general manager Alfonso who to my utter disbelief was 100% not interested in his customer. He lacked any empathy, suggested he did not speak any English (which I am suspicious about) and even after I had Google translated my concerns he had the audacity to tell me to calm down ! We will not return as Murcia now has many and a growing number of fine restaurants. Beware if you only speak English I sensed the Brits are not welcome PS I do not want a standard reply from a hotel receptionist telling me they will learn lessons as has been cut/paste many times on other Trip Advisor feedback notes for this restaurant. Thanks.

Stayed in the area for two weeks and visited 3 times. We enjoyed the ambience and the food. The paella was absolutely wonderful and the service was good. We will definitely be back next year. Jackie Trev

It’s a lovely location, it really is. We took family of four adults and a teen. We arrived to an unwiped table and ordered drinks and a few tapas. Now marinera I can accept to eat over a bar napkin/tissue but we also ordered boquerones for 5 that arrived on a plate, no forks or bread. I couldn’t eat oily boquerones over a tissue. Had to ask for plates and bread.

A very good menu, exquisite food that we order menu with caldero and it was delicious the menu was completed with a special, Iberian salad and a scramble , the very good atmosphere and the restaurant team at 10, I recommend it ratio price excellent quality,
