Tapas with character among the streets of the historic centre

On a narrow street in Xàbia's old town, Tasca La Rebotica serves Mediterranean tapas, seafood and a selection of off-menu suggestions.

A tasca in the heart of Xàbia

Tasca La Rebotica stands on Sant Bertomeu street (Sant Bartolomé), right in the old town. It is a tasca made for sharing: dishes in the middle of the table, portions and single bites, from a gilda or a Lebanese empanadilla to ham croquettes, patatas bravas or the bread with alioli that opens the meal.

Suggestions, sea and garden

The menu is completed by a section of suggestions where cod carpaccio with tomato, red prawn carpaccio, glazed carrots with yoghurt sauce or roasted aubergine with cheese and honey sit side by side. From the sea come the Gillardeau oyster, grilled white prawns, mussels or huevos rotos with prawns; and there are nods to other shores of the Mediterranean, such as the Moorish-style chicken pastela.

Wine and vermouth

The cellar brings together more than forty labels among whites, reds, rosés, sweet wines, cavas and champagne, and for the aperitif there is a long list of vermouths, white and red. Desserts close with millefeuille, apple tart, citrus tart, cheesecake or chocolate cake.
