In any cafe or restaurant in the city, the average bill for two with food and drink (one glass of wine, beer, Cola or any other beverage each) will be around 30 EUR (Euro). To eat cheaper, you can is that buying food in the supermarket already prepared or foods.

Tip! Going on a budget holiday to Spain, don't hesitate to book the hotel, and guest house with a shared kitchen.

Colonial restaurant Alicante

About this restaurant full of the Internet, telling how good a restaurant with delicious and varied food.

In fact, the lousy restaurant with a small choice of dishes.

This place with a single price, that is, once paying for entrance eat what you want and how much. The entrance is 13,90 euros per person and eat all you like, only eat at the restaurant almost nothing. All the dishes if you say that is not delicious, is an understatement. Rice and noodles are just no, and fried seafood are more like heaps in a heap and steamed stuff.

All drinks in the restaurant for a surcharge, and sell them not at affordable price. Plus the obligatory condition for the establishment is that you have to order at least one drink each. The minimum cost of a glass of Coca-Cola with a volume of 0,4 liters - 4,60 euros.

I wonder how many paid that guy from YouTube (YouTube) that removes and so colorfully painted restaurant.

During our visit to Colonial dined a lot of people, the bulk of it was the Arabs.

Besides, this restaurant is located three kilometers from the city centre.

So we walked three kilometers, paid of 32.56 euros and have not received any pleasure. For the same money you can have dinner much tastier and closer.

To remove the restaurant. And no wonder, if they make what they serve, they just stop going tourists. We still managed to do a few shots before we pulled.
