About Nou Calypso

If you are looking around Alicante and want a place that feels easygoing while still delivering satisfying food, Nou Calypso is one of those spots that naturally catches attention. Located at 0.474504 Pasillo peatonal frente a Mercadona, Colonia Juan XXIII-Módulos, Alicante, Spain, this rice restaurant has the kind of atmosphere that makes people want to slow down and enjoy a meal without feeling rushed. I like introducing places that feel approachable, and Nou Calypso has that relaxed character from the moment you notice it. The setting feels neighborhood-friendly rather than overly formal, which makes first-time visitors and regular guests feel comfortable almost immediately. Since rice dishes often become the center of attention in Spanish dining culture, a restaurant built around them already creates curiosity, especially for people who enjoy comforting meals with rich flavors and familiar ingredients. The outdoor seating adds a pleasant touch because it gives guests the option to sit outside and enjoy the surroundings while sharing food and conversation. At the same time, convenience matters too, and Nou Calypso makes things simple with options like dine-in service, takeout, delivery, and even no-contact delivery for people who prefer enjoying their meals elsewhere. The menu experience also feels flexible because different diners usually want different things. Some visitors stop by for a quick bite during a busy day, while others may want to spend more time enjoying small plates with friends. There are healthy choices available as well, which is always useful for people trying to balance flavor and lighter eating habits. Drinks also help shape the overall experience, and here you can find coffee for a casual pause, beer for something refreshing, wine for a slower meal, and stronger drinks for guests who enjoy a little variety during their visit, while the late-night food options make the place feel active and welcoming at different hours of the day.

My favorite place for lunch in alicante! Always a varied menu. Delicious homemade food. All products are fresh. Infinitely delicious cheesecake. The owner speaks English, which is convenient if you don't already know Spanish. The prices are low, which is surprising for the quality of the food. Excellent paella. I recommend everyone to visit this place! On weekends it is better to book a table in advance.

Fuimos a cenar y la verdad es que la atención fue muy buena teniendo al personal justito. El camarero atento y pendiente de todas las mesas no nos dejó esperar mucho con las cosas que pedimos. Nos sentamos en la terraza y sus platos, al menos todos los que probamos estaban buenos y bien de ración. Nos pusieron agua para los perritos lo cual me parece un detalle así que volveré a probar otras cositas seguro. Creo que es conveniente reservar. Tuvimos suerte en pillar mesa.

Bar familiar, de barrio, tranquilo, con personal muy amable y cercano, no destaca por el lugar pero si por su excelente comida. Llegamos con mucha sed, teníamos la mesa preparada con dos cervezas bien fresquitas. De primero pedimos una ensalada mixta, muy completa y abundante con variedad de lechugas, cebolla, tomates, zanahoria, remolacha, huevo y atún. De segunda carrillera en salsa con patatas y pimientos fritos, la salsa espectacular y la carne tierna, tierna. El plato fuerte una paella con chipirones y ajetes... sencillamente ESPECTACULAR. El arroz en su punto, los chipirones tiernos y los ajetes le dan un toque estupendo. Todo acompañado con alioli suave. Un almuerzo de alto nivel a un precio muy asequible. Totalmente recomendable. Visitarlo no ha defraudado a nadie.

Super recomendable. Tiene menú diario por 12€ entre semana, con dos platos, postre y bebida. Los arroces son un espectáculo y la comida en sí, la preparan con mucho cariño y está muy rica. Estoy encantada con el servicio y la comida. Cuándo es menú diario, tardan un poquito porque te lo hacen prácticamente todo al momento pero merece la pena la espera.

Da gusto tener restaurantes así cerca de casa. Los arroces son de 10 y toda la carta en general: se nota que cocinan con cariño y trabajan con producto de calidad. El trato es inmejorable, Pedro es encantador y te hace sentir como en casa. Entre semana hay menú del día. Comida casera buenísima. Mejor ir con reserva para asegurarte sitio. Para aparcar no suele haber problema, hay aparcamiento en la calle por los alrededores. Si sois de Alicante y aún no habéis ido, no podéis quedaros sin probarlo. ¡Gracias, Pedro!

I was there today while driving to Alicante. What to say: arroz del senyoret was spectacular. Croquetas (we had two kinds, the jamón one and the chipirones) both amazing. Price, much more than fair (I’d say definitely low for their quality). It’s an amazing place and also the waiter (owner of say) was super nice. Go. There. Now. Super aconsejado!

Todo buenísimo , el barrio no es el más bonito pero la comida sorprende mucho , se nota que todo es casero , pedimos el menú arrocero , el magro , las albóndigas y las bravas, buenísimo , recomiendo el magro sobretodo , el arroz con un poco socarrat y increíble nos sobró un poco y nos lo dieron para llevar . De postre un flan de queso q también buenismo , lo recomiendo muchísimo , las apariencias engañan muchas veces, para comer es en su terraza que la tienen con toldos y techo parte de ella . Calidad precio buenísimo
