Wanderlust in Albir, on the Costa Blanca, invites you to go on a culinary journey around the world without leaving your table. Founded in April 2019, the restaurant combines the family's 30 years of gastronomic experience with international inspiration from travelling and experiences abroad.

After extensive renovations to an old, abandoned restaurant, Wanderlust opened its doors in November 2019. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the restaurant quickly gained popularity thanks to its loyal customers.
