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).

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.

Always with a smile the staff at all three restaurants know how to look after their customers and the chefs will make sure that you get exactly what you want to eat – and cooked how you like it to be cooked, to perfection.

Diners can’t fail to be impressed by the vast menu and as you can see from the reviews, plenty of satisfied customers have sung the brothers praise. Vegetarians and kids are catered for in the large restaurants and there’s plenty of space between tables so none of that asking the next table to

move so you can get up!

These restaurants are all very well designed and laid out with the customer as the first priority at all times.

That means the three brothers make that extra effort to make sure their diners are not only content but more than satisfied with the food they have been served.

From pasta to pizza or other homemade dishes there really is something for everyone at Alingui restaurants and what better place to take the relatives or friends when they are over visiting than to a tastefully decorated place like one of the Alingui restaurants and then the superb food that cant fail to impress your visitors.

Try it for yourself and pop along to one or all three of the restaurants run by the

three brothers. There’s no doubt about the fact that you will come away satisfied and well fed and without having spent a fortune and a wonderful meal!

“We were first recommended to Alingui by some friends of ours and now it’s a regular for us as we know what we will get: good food and service and just as importantly smiles from the staff!”

“We’ve tried all three restaurants and the service and food and price are all the same – good value for money.”
