Brothers Bar Centro Carabasi Gran Alacant Tel. 649 17 85 69
Brothers sits upstairs at the Carabassi Complex in Gran Alacant. After 12 years running a sandwich bar in Portsmouth, the owners Joz and Cindy decided it was time to head for sunnier climes so they packed their bags and here they are. Open from 4.00pm til late Tuesday to Friday and from 10.00am at the weekends til late, Brothers can easily seat 42 inside with a further 32 out on the terrace. All their food is locally sourced where possible and homecooked to order so expect it to take a little bit longer when busy. Meat comes from the local butchers in Elche and their bread all comes from the local baker in Gran Alacant. Their chips are double-cooked, try them, you’ll see the difference. There’s always a selection of daily specials like shepherd’s pie or sea bass to choose from as well as the regular menu which you see below. Sunday lunch is a local favourite and you can have a choice of meats from chicken, lamb, beef or pork all at a very reasonable 8eu for 1 course, 11eu for 2 and 13eu for the full 3 courses not forgetting your homemade apple and berry pie. There’s plenty for the kids to do (see pic) and eat as they have a children’s
menu, high chairs and baby changing facilities too. If you’re looking for somewhere to watch football or any other sport you fancy – this is the place. Brothers has one very large, crystal clear screen for your viewing pleasure (see photo). If

The Belfry Restaurant & Carvery Plaza Mayor Gran Alacant Tel. 865 66 97 97 www.thebelfry.es The Belfry Carvery and Restaurant opened its doors just a few short months ago and hasn’t looked back since. Having opened and successfully run three bars in the region the owners certainly know what they are doing and have filled a gap in the market that has seen the restaurant filling up very quickly.
The Sunday carvery is a huger hit with locals and with visitors coming from a good distance too – all who have heard the fabulous reputation that The Belfry has established very quickly by supplying great quality food at good value for money, Combine that with the very good, and friendly, service offered by the staff and you have a winning combination.
Nicely decorated throughout – although I must say the outside terrace has been wonderfully designed – the place is a little treasure and the ideal place for either a snack or a full hearty meal.
Of course there is a large selection to choose from on the impressive menu and the attention to detail we noticed was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble either for the waiting staff or the friendly chef carving our delicious meats at the Sunday carvery. We had a choice of all
the meats and received very god portions and al was very well presented and extremely well cooked.
Having experienced and qualified staff is paying off for The Belfry as it is fast establishing its name as one of the finest eateries around and just one visit will show you why.
An extensive drinks menu and the choice to either sit inside in the air conditioned restaurant or outside on the sun terrace means that diners have a great choice either for dining
Don’t shy away from bringing your friends to The Belfry either as they too will be impressed with, not only the surroundings and friendly reception that they receive, but also the nice and pleasant atmosphere and the sheer professionalism of the place.
The Belfry – a great place to dine out any day of the wee – and that carvery on Sundays s something to treat you, and your friends, too soon!
