A dining room with a picture window onto the valley and the sea and a fireplace in winter, on the Callosa road: Mediterranean cooking and a menu of the day, Tuesday to Sunday at midday.

The Xortá shares its name with the mountain range that closes the valley to the north and is at kilometre 12 of the Callosa d'en Sarrià road, on the way out of El Castell de Guadalest. On foot from the village it is about 14 minutes, so you can eat here without moving the car from the car park.
A picture window towards the sea
The room is a large dining hall with a picture window looking out over the valley and, in the distance, the sea. In the middle there is a fireplace that warms the dining room in winter. It seats 80, quite a few more than the bars of the upper village, and has a terrace for fine days. The town council describes the atmosphere as calm and the service as friendly and family-run.
Menu of the day and Mediterranean cooking
The cooking is traditional Mediterranean, with a menu of the day and à la carte. The house has no website of its own and the municipal listing doesn't detail dishes or prices. If you want to know what the set menu includes, call 965 88 51 87 or write to rxorta@hotmail.com. It posts photos on Instagram, as xorta_restaurante.
Midday only, and closed on Mondays
Open Tuesday to Sunday, from 12:00 to 16:00. It doesn't serve dinner, and is closed on Mondays. On weekdays there is no need to book; on Sundays it is wise, because that is when the valley fills with people from the coast and Alicante. Out of season, confirm by phone.
When it fits
It is the place for winter. In the cold, a lunch by the fireplace after climbing to the castle rounds off a morning in the village nicely. In summer the terrace and the set menu serve just as well, but the day's plan usually pushes you towards the water.
With the Sunday in Guadalest: castle and Algar plan, the Xortá is the lunch stop: in the morning the tunnel, the Casa Orduña and the castle and a museum; at 13:30, a table here; and in the afternoon, by car to Les Fonts de l'Algar, about 25 minutes along the Callosa road.

Qué pedir: the menu of the day; on Sunday, with a booking
