Tapas in Altea
Mediterranean tapas by the sea, on Altea's promenade
Tapas from the sea and the land, cooked to order and made for sharing. Homemade croquetas, calamares, chipirones, prawns, tortilla and our motto: tapas a medida.
The spirit of the tapa
Tapas are the Spanish way of not having to choose: you order a bit of everything, put it in the middle and share. At La Tablería we take it to its logical conclusion with our «tapas a medida»: you choose, we build the board.
From the sea: chipirones fritos, calamares a la romana, gamba a la plancha, mejillones a la marinera, boquerones en vinagre, buñuelos de bacalao caseros and torpedos de gamba en tempura.
From the land: jamón curado, queso manchego, croquetas de jamón and croquetas de pollo, albóndigas caseras con tomate, tortilla española, patatas bravas and berenjenas fritas con miel.
Vegetarian: tortilla, bravas, berenjenas fritas con miel, pan con tomate, salads. (Full list to be confirmed with the kitchen.)
Homemade fried classics
Croquetas, calamares and fritters: golden and freshly made.
For sharing
A little of everything: that's how it's done here.
FAQ
Questions about our tapas
Where to eat tapas in Altea by the sea?
At La Tablería, on Altea's seafront promenade, with a front-row terrace. Mediterranean tapas cooked to order, from the sea and the land, made for sharing around the whole table.
What are «tapas a medida»?
Our signature, and the origin of our name: you choose your favourite tapas from the menu and we arrange them on a board for the middle of the table, instead of serving them on individual plates.
Do you have vegetarian options?
Yes: Spanish omelette, patatas bravas, honey-fried aubergine, tomato bread and salads, among others. Let us know any preference when booking and our staff will advise you on what to combine.
What languages do you speak? Can I pay by card?
We can serve you in Spanish, French and English, and the menu is available in those three languages at the restaurant. We accept card payment.
Do tapas work as a full meal?
Perfectly: with 4–5 tapas per person or a sharing board, you'll eat very well without needing to order anything else. And to round things off, a rice dish cooked to order, made fresh.
Are there places for tapas near l'Albir or Calpe?
La Tablería is on Altea's seafront promenade, about a 10-minute drive from Albir Beach and a quarter of an hour from Calpe. Many visitors from both towns come to our terrace in Altea for tapas facing the sea.
¿Cuál es la mejor hora para tapear en la terraza?
El mediodía ofrece la luz más limpia sobre la bahía; al atardecer, la terraza se anima y la hora dorada sobre el paseo es la más buscada por nuestros clientes habituales. Ambos momentos funcionan igual de bien para tapear.
¿Las tapas son aptas para niños?
Sí: la tortilla española, las croquetas, la patata brava o los calamares suelen gustar a los más pequeños, y al ser tapas para compartir cada uno prueba lo que le apetece sin pedir un menú aparte.
