Restaurante Mitico, Mediterranean restaurant in Finestrat, Spain
Restaurante Mitico is a Spanish restaurant in Finestrat, a small town in the province of Alicante, serving tapas, grilled meats, and dishes from the Valencian kitchen. The venue has both indoor and outdoor seating, so guests can choose depending on the weather.
The restaurant built its place in the local dining scene of Finestrat by serving residents and visitors from the nearby coast over the years. Its reputation rests on consistent cooking rooted in traditional Valencian recipes.
The name "Mitico", meaning "mythical" in Spanish, reflects the ambition of the place to be more than just a dining stop. The kitchen leans on recipes from the Valencia region, where grilled meats and rice dishes are a central part of everyday eating.
The restaurant offers a daily set menu that is a good way to try several courses without ordering separately. In summer, it is worth avoiding the outdoor tables at midday, as Finestrat can get very warm in the afternoon.
The restaurant has a section with screens showing football matches, which makes it popular with locals on match days. That part of the room can get busy and noisy, while the rest of the dining area stays quieter.
