Tormos House

I help out at the house of Tormos in Orba occasionally, and I eat there often. I just love the whole experience. I say experience, as that is what it is, the food is great, but that’s only part of it, it’s the decoration, the artwork, the cheerful service, the ambience and the people you meet that all add up to a wonderful culinary experience. So if you want some thing special, I highly recommend this restaurant. My personal favourite is Friday night, Its so chilled and stylish. I had the Hake and it was amazing, I also recommend any of Michaels pasta dishes. The steaks are obscenely delicious. So often in Spain I find desserts a bit of a let down, but not here. I would go just for the Sticky Toffee Pudding. It is a bit more expensive than your average Orba restaurant but you get so much more for the little extra you pay ….. and why not treat yourself once in a while . It’s also a great place for a business lunch on Monday if you want to impress anyone.

Stunning house, stunning food. So friendly and accommodating. Only been in this area for 4 days & already been there twice! Give it a go, its really gorgeous.

What a hidden gem!. Not much to see from the outside, but we gave it a go on a Friday night when most other places were already closed (!) We were greeted by a lovely man who noted that my Spanish was not native and asked if I spoke English, as he was. We opted to sit outside in a nicely presented courtyard and he set our table up with a cloth, amenities and complimentary fizz! We had a look over the menu and couldn't resist the tapas and glass of house wine offer at 12 Euros a head. The wine was pretty decent for a house and actually one of the better glasses we had drank on our whole trip. We thought that three small tapas each might not be enough so added a bruschetta to the mix. How wrong we were, the portions were so generous that as soon as I saw them I knew I wouldn't finish my meal! Everything was cooked beautifully and to order, the spicy bravas/meatball sauce was so tasty and so much better than many of the traditional Spanish restaurants we had and have visited in Spain. Our server was very attentive, very friendly and it really felt like he loved his craft. When it was time to clear away our defeat we had a brief chat with our server, Graham, who is one of the owners with his partner as the chef in the kitchen. We were so surprised it wasn't busier here as the food and ambience were top quality. The cherry on the cake was that our bill was only 30 Euros, which is an absolute steal for what we had. Well done chaps, if we are ever in the area again we will be sure to seek you out!

It's quiet on a Monday lunchtime but very welcoming. Very little vegetarian options on the menu but Michael cooked up a huge plate of roast veg and homemade chips. I don't know why it wasn't on the menu. It was delicious.

Going to the Tormos House Orba for Sunday lunch is just a wonderful experience. Graeme and Michael are so welcoming along with their lovely staff and the food is fabulous and plentiful! The ambience is so lovely and I just couldn’t recommend it highly enough! It is my most favourite place to eat in the entire North Costa Blanca! A total hidden gem! ☺️
