Quique Dacosta

★★★ Michelin€€€€mediterranean

For a more conceptual approach to gastronomy, look no further than chef Quique Dacosta, who transcends the boundaries of cuisine to lead us through an artistic experience that, as he himself describes, is a form of communication with his guests in keeping with his desire for “culinary beauty”. His innovative cuisine, which changes almost completely every year, constantly pushes the limits of the tasting experience. Through the Octavo (Eighth) tasting menu (with a name that unashamedly pushes back against the seven established fine arts: namely, painting, sculpture, architecture, music, dance,

BonAmb

★★ Michelin€€€€Creative

A unique restaurant, where each season finds inspiration in a different theme. Occupying a restored country house in beautifully landscaped surroundings, the setting is as appealing as the menu. The latter comes courtesy of Alberto Ferruz, who also runs the Michelin-starred Casa Pepa in Ondara. This is a chef who always turns to the Mediterranean and Alicante's Marina Alta for his magnificent fish and seafood, which take centre stage alongside produce from his bountiful vegetable gardens, and herbs from the Montgó mountains. On the new Memorabilia dining experience here, the chef tells us: “we

Peix & Brases

★ Michelin€€€€spanish

Many are of the opinion that without tradition there is no modernity and Peix & Brases is no exception. Working from this basic premise, it builds its philosophy around both, as well as a focus on top-notch local ingredients.Located almost in front of the port, with the sound of seagulls as a backdrop, Peix & Brases has two distinct ambiences: the gastro-bar on the ground floor serving more informal fusion-style dishes that it calls Mediterrasian, and its gastronomic dining room on the first floor, with access to an attractive rooftop terrace. Here, you find a small à la carte, which stands ou

Casa Pepa

★ Michelin€€€Creative

The writer and philosopher Miguel de Unamuno once said that you need to adapt in order to move forward (hence the expression “adapt or perish”); history proves that this is often the case. This former farmhouse, an iconic address in the Marina Alta area when it was managed by chef Pepa Romans, has had a new lease of life under the umbrella of the BonAmb group. It now has a promising future ahead of it with Emmanuelle Baron in the kitchen and the stewardship of award-winning chef Alberto Ferruz, from the two-Michelin-star BonAmb. Following a makeover, it now features an attractive terrace (with

El Carreter

€€€Modern Cuisine

Occupying an attractive old farmhouse by a crossroads, this restaurant has a name that recalls the cartwright trade of days gone by. It features a pleasant terrace for an aperitif or coffee, several attractively laid-out dining rooms (one with a fireplace), and a contemporary approach that places Mediterranean produce in the spotlight, offered to diners through various tasting menus. Among them, the Camí de Sabors (we especially liked the ‘Essence of Red Prawn’ dish), where Federico Guajardo reproduces the most iconic dishes of his career and some that reflect his Argentinian roots. They have

Toy

€€€Italian Contemporary

Located in one of the streets surrounding the walled access to the city's castle, this restaurant is easy to find. Behind its curious name, a small tribute to the building’s past (it was previously a toy factory), hides much more than a nod to the past, as chef Massimo Arienti seeks to surprise diners with a proposal that, never better said, plays with flavours, appearance, and textures, making the Italian cuisine that lives in his blood merge with the best local produce of the Marina Alta. There are three elaborate tasting menus (Inizio, Toy maker and Brianza), with dishes as appetising as th

Ausiàs

€€€Mediterranean Cuisine, Modern Cuisine

If you happen to find yourself in Pedreguer’s old town, this restaurant close to the market will definitely attract your attention thanks to its façade and its meticulous and contemporary interior design. Ausiàs Signes and Felicia Guerra, who met at Le Cordon Bleu Madrid, through their surprise menus (Valentina and Ausiàs March, both with the option of a wine pairing and adding a recommendation) offer a well-modernised Mediterranean-based cuisine, always built around local and regional products. Here the desserts usually turn heads, and one in particular really showcases their creativity, call

Volta i Volta

€€Mediterranean Cuisine

In a two-storey building in the old town! It retains attractive aesthetic details of the original old house and offers tasty seasonal Mediterranean cuisine, with contemporary dishes such as aubergine, cured tuna belly capers and caper berries, the delicious pan-fried John Dory with tomato confit, Kalamata olives and grilled cos lettuce, or their stuffed quail, baked noodles and truffle.
