Zero Zero is just past the boundary between El Albir and Altea, with a huge terrace facing the sea. Technically it’s already Altea, but for anyone who lives or holidays in El Albir it’s part of the usual walk. A restaurant by day, a beach-club atmosphere in the afternoon: here’s what to expect.

What Zero Zero is

It’s a restaurant serving Mediterranean and international food with a beach-club feel, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The decor has a Latin touch, and in the afternoons and evenings there are drinks and, some days, live music. It has free parking and wheelchair access.

What you’ll find on the table

Zero Zero mixes two things: a Mediterranean restaurant by day and a beach-club atmosphere in the afternoon, with drinks and, some days, music.

Coastal Mediterranean food. Fish, seafood, rice dishes and salads, what you’d expect from a seafront restaurant on the Costa Blanca, with some international dishes for the foreign crowd.

The set lunch menu. It’s what people who know it recommend most and the best value on offer: eating by the sea without paying à la carte prices.

The atmosphere changes with the time of day. At lunchtime it’s a quiet restaurant. In the afternoon and evening it turns into a place for drinks, and some nights there are concerts with the volume turned up.

If you arrive hungry. Come at lunchtime for the set menu and ask for the terrace. If it’s evening, ask first whether there’s music, in case you want a quiet dinner.

What to order

The set lunch menu. It’s what people who know it praise most: good value by the sea.

Fish and seafood. On some platforms it appears among Altea’s seafood restaurants.

The chocolate volcano. The recommended dessert, also suitable for coeliacs.

How much it costs

In the mid range, between €20 and €35 per person à la carte (approximate price). The set menu is the budget option. À la carte with drinks, some customers find it expensive.

Location, opening hours and bookings

It’s at Carretera de l’Albir, 21, already in Altea, a few minutes’ walk from the Paseo de las Estrellas. It’s open every day; confirm kitchen hours when you book. The phone number is 966 880 763.

What the ratings say

On Google it averages around 4.4 out of 5 from more than 3,000 reviews, and 4 out of 5 on Tripadvisor. People praise the views, the decor, the hard-working staff and the set menu.

Where it falls short

Service and how it’s changed. In April 2026, a customer who has known it for ten years said the staff seemed unfriendly, the prices aren’t cheap and the place has gone downhill. It’s not the majority view, but it comes from someone who knows it well.

Noise on some nights. There are warnings about very loud concerts on certain nights. If you want a quiet dinner, ask first whether there’s music.

Local’s tips

Come at lunchtime for the set menu and sit on the terrace: it’s the best plan the place offers. If you want a quiet dinner, ask if there’s a concert. And if you’re coming from El Albir, walk along the coast.
