Where to eat, the best Christmas menus on the Orihuela Costa

DURING THE FESTIVE SEASON there is no better experience than eating out with good friends and family and enjoying the Christmas menus at some of the best restaurants on the Orihuela Costa.

Christmas menus and festive restaurants, The Emerald Isle

Festive fun: The Emerald Isle, La Florida

One of the Orihuela Costa's most popular casual dining venues, it should be no surprise to learn that The Emerald Isle is already fully booked for Christmas Day.

Nonetheless, they're offering a festive menu daily from now until 20th December, centred around a traditional British roast dinner replete with Yorkshire pudding and offering a choice of roasted meats.

A two-course main and dessert costs €12 with a three-course option available for €15. However, the venue requires a booking of at least 10 people limiting availability exclusively to organised events or larger family and friend groups.

Advance bookings can be made by calling +34 965 327 138 or speaking with The Emerald Isle on Facebook about their Christmas menus.

Christmas menus and festive restaurants, Restaurante Nautilus

Christmas at the beach, The Nautilus, Punta Prima

The Nautilus has been providing the ultimate beachfront venue for festive partygoers for more than four decades.

Their opulent Christmas Day menu is a naturally elaborate and exclusive four-course affair with a selection of delicious and exotic plates to choose from.

The price is €55 per person which considering the beautiful location, and the quality of food on offer, does offer remarkable value for money – especially considering the menu includes the price of all water, wine, beer and Cava ordered at the table.

Christmas restaurants, Alejandro´s Bar Restaurante

A Spanish theme: Alejandros Bar Restaurante, La Zenia

Local favourites Alejandros celebrated their 20th anniversary earlier this year. The venue has become a regular haunt for both locals and returning visitors over the decades, testament to the quality of the food.

For the Christmas season, Alejandros are offering a simple three-course menu that showcases their gastronomic skills.

To begin the experience, diners can choose the cream of leek soup or a Goats cheese salad on a bed of lambs lettuce. Naturally, the main dish includes a roast turkey option, a venison fillet, or salmon served with green asparagus. A classic Tiramisu rounds off the festive meal.

The menu costs €29.90 per person, and reservations can be made via Alejandro´s Facebook page, or by calling +34 966 760 623.

Christmas restaurants, Sunrise Restaurant

Christmas menus at the Sunrise Restaurant, Playa Flamenca

It's no secret that the Sunrise is one of our personal favourite dining venues on the Orihuela Costa, so we were genuinely looking forward to reading this year´s Christmas menus.

And it was well worth the wait, as the venue is offering a no-holds-barred five-course menu for Christmas Day itself – replete with live music.

At €58 per person it certainly isn't the cheapest option around this year, but with an established reputation for first class table service, and a kitchen team that consistently delivers high-quality food, we predict that tables will be booking up pretty fast.

It's worth mentioning that the price also includes soft drinks, beer, red and white house wines, Spanish Cava, and water at the table. Call +34 965 326 814 or find them on Facebook.
