La comida espectacular, y el trato de los camareros muy bueno. Lo único a tener en cuenta es que deberás hacer fila, porque siempre hay mucha gente esperando. Muy recomendable

Excelente todo. Gran atención, muy buenas tapas, todo lo que pedimos estuvo muy bien logrado. Recomendado

Uno de los mejores bares de Alicante. Siempre hay cola en la puerta, hay que llegar pronto. Si es festivo puedes epserar hasta 1 hora pero vale la pena. Servicio muy rápido. Recomiendo las gambas al ajillo, los revueltos y los montaditos especiales. Volveré.

Fuimos a pasar el día en Alicante y descubrimos este bar que nos encantó. Todo estaba buenísimo y el personal muy amable. Repetiremos!

Este sitio es una institución que no se ha pasado con los precios por tener éxito. Calidad, tradición gastronómica y algo de locura siguen existiendo. Cada vez que me lo paso bien en Alicante me paso por el cantó. Y eso lo dice un francés buen vividor. Gracias por darnos placeres.

Sitio típico de alicante para tapear. Siempre hay mucha gente y no reservan tendrás que hacer cola. Carta extensa de tapas y montaditos. Buena atención y servicio muy rápido

Lovely place with great food, and many options to choose from. The place was a bit loud but could still hear each other. We were 4 of us visiting this place, and got seated at the bar which would have been more suitable for a smaller group... We ordered many different dishes which resulted in having to wait and follow up on them as the servers might have lost track on what was served and what wasn't... hence the 4 stars for service. I would still recommend this place and would go back.

Great traditional place with a laid back atmosphere and a massive selection of small and large dishes. Their boquerones in garlic and olive oil are fantastic, tuna taco solid and the pan con tomato pretty decent too. I don't normally like Mahou beer but I have to say it tasted really good here. Looks like it's popular among locals and tourists alike.

We wanted a lighter lunch so we decided to have a few tapas and red wine. We went with more traditional and local dishes like anchovies, fried almonds, tripe stew, and potato salad. All items were portioned appropriately and packed with flavour. The extensive wine and beer list provided many options. The wait staff were friendly and helpful despite our limited Spanish.

Fabulous experience! All the tapas we tried from the extensive menu were excellent. The staff were helpful with recommendations. It took some time to get a table, because the bar is very popular for obvious reasons. It's worth the wait!

Amanda Maurin

Absolutely loved this place — the atmosphere was warm, lively, and full of charm. The service was fantastic. I was unsure which dishes to order and asked the waiter what he would recommend and it was absolutely delicious. Everything felt genuinely authentic, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality. Can’t wait to go back!

Very popular neighbourhood Tapas bar, always busy unless you go just as it opens. Great service and fab food at good prices.

Charlie Hartmann

An authentic tapas bar. A great vibrant atmosphere, a full menu of classic tapas. Tasty dishes, good wines and fair prices. Friendly staff to boot. A great address we will return.

Absolutely loved this place! I had the garlic shrimp and jamón – both were incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. A great spot for a delicious and authentic meal. Highly recommended!

First time going here. You cannot book. Amazing tapas and a menu in both Spanish and English. See pictures!

The first place I visited in Alicante and I was so happy with my choice. Lovely bar with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. I loved sitting at the bar watching all the action. Rioja was delicious, food wise I loved the Jamón and the Ensaladilla Rusa, the fresh cheese 'a la plancha' was also great, I wasn't a fan of the croquetas but that's probably the only negative. Will definitely be visiting again before I leave this beautiful city

It was pure coincidence to find this spot in town. Definitely worthy the visit for proper Spanish tapas and montaditos. We had tomato/ventresca, artichokes a la plancha and an assortment of montaditos with different sorts of meats and sausages. I recommend the blood sausage and the one in the name of the place. Last but not least you also get to try very classic desserts like the natillas in the last picture. The team is amazing, fast and friendly.

Probably the best bar I've ever been to in this town, as a local living abroad I felt pride in my town having these around The food there is fresh and top niche, the attention and presentation outstanding the bar decoration itself it's a journey throughout history If you're looking for a place to dine, have a quick drink or snack, look no further you can't go wrong there. Shootout to our amazing server Javier, we left impressed by their knowledge and recommendations Tip: - Get there early or make a reservation, this place is as small as amazing so it tends to fill very quickly

This Michelin-star restaurant was one of the best tapas places that we visited during our stay in Alicante. The place can be extremely busy and has a good buzz. The chefs prepare the food with care and artistic flair. They interact without words and seamlessly prepare different dishes with excellent coordination. It's marvellous to watch them enjoy and be in the moment with the food they prepare and the customers. It is also very budget-friendly. A must-visit if you are in Alicante.

One of the best tapas places I have been in a long time. We arrived at 8pm, and there were already many people waiting to enter. As soon as the restaurant was open, we went in to grab a table. A very traditional tapas bar, and the food was excellent. Very efficient and fast service. We simply loved their food and ambiance. We would definitely want to come back again. Make sure you arrive early. We saw many people waiting outside as were coming out from the restaurant.

What a fantastic experience at Bar El Canto! Now I understand why there's always a lineup and why they've earned Michelin stars in the past. Everything about this place was exceptional. The food was delightful, the service was top-notch, and the ambiance was charming. I highly recommend trying their dishes, as each one was a true delight. Definitely deserving of their accolades!

Visitamos Bar El Cantó durante nuestra estancia en Alicante y fue una experiencia muy agradable. El lugar tiene un ambiente acogedor y familiar que invita a quedarse un buen rato. La decoración es sencilla pero con mucho encanto, con esa barra de madera pulida que le da un toque tradicional. Las tapas y montaditos que probamos estaban deliciosos, especialmente las gambas al ajillo que recomiendo sin dudar. La calidad de los productos se nota en cada bocado. Las raciones son generosas y los precios son bastante razonables para la zona. El servicio fue atento y rápido, el personal se mostró amable y dispuesto a explicarnos las especialidades del día. Nos sentimos bien atendidos en todo momento. El único detalle por mejorar sería el espacio interior que puede resultar un poco pequeño cuando está lleno, pero esto también le da ese ambiente de bar de barrio auténtico que tanto nos gustó. La ubicación en Calle Alemania es muy conveniente y fácil de encontrar. En general, una muy buena opción para disfrutar de tapas españolas tradicionales en Alicante. Volveremos sin duda en nuestra próxima visita a la ciudad.

El local ya tiene sus años y les gana el trabajo a la limpieza, bajo mi punto de vista es el típico local que en el día a día está lleno y les falta tiempo para cosas básicas de un local así. La cola era grande para entrar, pero como iva solo me colaron en barra, solo quería una birra y algo de pocar, para ver porqué tenía tanto éxito. Pues bien, es por la rapidez de servicio y calidad de sus productos. Repetire con más calma para quizás valorar mejor...

Tapas muy ricas. Servicio excepcional. Un poco caras las gambas al ajillo (vienen 8) y cuestan 9,75. El esto de cosas que pedimos muy buenas.

Buena calidad de comida y buen trato. A veces complicado coger sitio en horas puntas. Ricas las tapas, montados o bocatas. No reservan, hay una costumbre donde entras, les das el nombre y los que sois y te dicen cuánto te queda, más o menos. Lo normal es que la gente que espera se toma una consumición fuera. También puedes pedir bocatas para llevar mientras te tomas una caña en la barra

It’s a small place with background music, a relaxing bar, but I don’t think it’s a restaurant for having lunch or dinner. If you want to enjoy a quiet night with a drink and some snacks, this is the perfect place. The food is delicious, but the portions are small and a bit expensive. For example the garlic shrimp portion was quite small. After that, I had to go to another place to eat because I was still hungry.

The restaurant is very popular, lots of locals having lunch there. The food portion is not big, but everything tastes good. Traditional tapas restaurant.

Cozy spanish tapas bar sine 1984. The ambiance is lively and packed with locals. The interior design is simple and with high stools that are not very comfortable for sitting for a longer time. The portions are small but enough. After ordering, we waited for a long time to get our small sandwiches. I recommend ordering the silver fish and prawn dish. Atun de ijada was very smelly and had a very strong fishy flavor that wasn't my favorite.

Theresa Tran

My husband and I found this place on Google when trying to look for a tapas place. When we arrived about 7:30pm, there were still many seating places. The waiter was friendly and quick. We had ordered a couple tapas to share: potato/tuna salad, mushroom and asparagus with egg, grilled squid, small sausage sandwich and the tripe and chickpea soup, the food was good for the most part but we weren’t blown away by anything. But for bar ambiance, clean tables, nice service and decent prices, this place gets four stars. Would I go back? Probably pass.

Very nice tapas bar in Alicante, kind staff good food but a little bit pricey. Tuna tacos were not real tacos but tuna with lettuce.
