La Fonda - Castalla

Good food but very small portion for sea food and also very rude AND BOLD staff! I cant belive that the waiter could be that rude he call us RUDE bcs we was 2 mothers and a child and we just make him a sign to come and ask for a capuccino after we ate! He sayd we are rude bcs is not ok to use our hands and call him...He made A FULL SCENE! We thank him and payd then we left ...

Wanted a typical Spanish dish and wasn't disappointed. Had a huge side salad with a fish paella which was delicious. Waiter was very attentive and the location stunning in the sun and sheltered with the glass screens. So glad we found this little place after a tram ride from alecante.

We tried this place for the second time last night and definitely the last. First time we had paella which, in my experience, can be very difficult to cook correctly, so we decided to try again as the dish was horrible. Last night we started with the mixed starter for 2 thinking we would both find something interesting.....there is no real accurate description on the menu. When it was put on the table it looked to me like the scrapped leftovers from all the plates off the adjacent table. We dug through this congested pile of rubbish and found very little worth trying. Presentation had put us off in the first instance but even what we did manage to eat was not good. My wife ordered a pasta dish with seafood. It arrived in a paella dish and was dry... stuck to the dish. What seafood it contained was badly over cooked...very poor. I ordered duck cooked in peach. The 5 slices of duck were reminiscent of the sole of a work boot. The sauce was something...but nothing containing peach. The accompanying salad was poorly presented and basically the dish was a culinary disaster. The leather duck was brought home to my 2 dogs who also refused to eat it. The positives from the experience were that the waiting staff are fantastic and the wines are good...shame about the food.

Paella mixta exquisita y gran cantidad enhorabuena a los cociner@s y por supuesto lo mejor de todo los camareros atentos, limpios, rápidos y muy simpáticos.

Hacia muchisimo tiempo que ne habiamos comido tan riquisima paella mixta- y somos muy exigentes porque nos encantan los arroces. Excelente, y muy bien de precio, de servicio a mesa, muy amables. En resumen, para mi, que vengo muy a menudo al Campello, el mejor restaurante del pueblo.
