Enso Sushi

Enso Sushi is Alicante's go-to for upmarket Japanese food, tucked into Plaza Gabriel Miró in the city centre. It's where locals go to celebrate with proper sushi rather than a conveyor-belt lunch. Expect polished maki and nigiri with tuna, toro and salmon, plus fusion touches like ceviche, foie and truffle. Reviewers single out the ebi uramaki, the kamado-grilled oyster, gyozas and croquettes. There's a weekday menu and a bigger weekend menu that works well for groups, and they're good with coeliacs, with gluten-free soy sauce on hand. The room is calm and Zen-like, but it's small, and one reviewer found the tables a bit close together. Book ahead, as it fills up. It's not a cheap night out, and a couple of people felt over-sold on dishes, so order at your own pace. The kitchen closes fairly early, so don't turn up late and expect a leisurely meal.
