This is the question that has been on the minds of many an Altean over the last 30 years… Run by the same family for the past three decades, this local favourite has gone from strength to strength and is known for serving the best steak in town. Dishing out a variety of crowd pleasers such as the legendary Prawns Mr X, Duck a l’Orange and a fine selection of steaks, Mr. X never skimps on the basics. The family aim to not only offer beautifully home-cooked meals, but also provide an endearingly rustic and truly Spanish ambience.
Vastly different from anything on the neon- lit coastline, this charming old finca is the place where waiters often know the customers by name and don’t even have to ask for orders; they’re already aware of individual preferences.
Nestled on a country road a short distance from the centre of Altea, Mr X serves people from near and far and has built up a prestigious international fanbase. With meals ranging from 10 euros, patrons of all ages and pockets have come to appreciate the exquisite food and reasonably priced wines, especially in today’s economy. This hidden gem is a real culinary delight and is sure to satisfy even the largest of appetites.
