Helen Van Esch's terrace, facing the sea in Altea

After 19 years alongside her husband, Swiss chef Roland Broggi, at Restaurante D’els Artistes, Helen Van Esch set up her own project: a terrace near the beach in Altea.

The idea, with Roland's support, was to keep the usual standard in a fresher concept: dishes made with the freshest produce from the bay and the finest meats, paired with a good list of wines and champagnes.

What to order

You can start with an aperitif, move on to the menu and finish with a cocktail. Some of the house dishes:

• Beetroot tartarestarter
• Chicken wokwoks and salads
• Poke bowlfrom the menu
• Fish and meatproduce from the bay and good meats
• Aperitifs and cocktailsto start and to finish

A house of friends

The warm, personal service is part of the concept. At La Terraza they sum it up like this: customers become friends and become part of the family.
