What visitors say

★★★★★

“Phenomenal food and service. The atmosphere was elevated, yet not pretentious. The service was incredibly welcoming and warm while still perfectly measured. We’re not very experienced in fine dining and we were treated with great respect and care. We were served by one of the two owners who was so lovely, friendly and helpful. Each dish was presented with great care and the flavours was outstanding! Can’t recommend enough!!”

“An unforgettable dining experience at Steki. We loved it so much we came back two nights in a row — 8 and 9 May 2026. The tasting menu was delightful: creative, refined, and packed with explosions of flavor in every course. Each dish felt carefully thought out and beautifully balanced, combining surprising elements into something truly memorable. The charming Greek maitre lady made the evening feel warm and personal from the moment we arrived, while the Mexican chef delivered one stunning plate after another with originality. Steki is a small, intimate restaurant, which adds to the magic — but definitely reserve in advance because tables are limited. Every course felt worth the money. Without question one of the culinary highlights of Alicante.”

“A wonderful surprise. Google review did not disappoint me this time. Found this place by chance and OMG… everything about this small little restaurant was beyond exceptional. The moment I walked in was so cozy and the service was exceptional. The chef created each dish with different spices, thoughtful ingredients combination and took my taste buds to heaven. After traveling in Spain and eating only tapas, this meal offered something very unique. Our servicer took her time to explain each dish and how it was prepared while the only chef of the restaurant focused on preparing all the great dishes for us.”

“A very enjoyable experience. Fun concept with a minimum of 5 dishes from a nice menu. The best dish was the aguachile of emperor fish with coconut, cucumber, and gambusin. An incredible explosion of flavor! Very friendly and welcoming staff, and a restaurant I highly recommend.”
