Vall de Cavall
Vall de Cavall – an unusual restaurant near Moraira
Vall de Cavall is a restaurant in the countryside near Gata de Gorgos, within the municipality of Dénia, looking out at the Montgó. The kitchen describes itself as Mediterranean haute cuisine with international influences. The grounds combine a restaurant, horses, a swimming pool and accommodation, which makes for a setting quite unlike the restaurants on the Moraira coast.
A restaurant among horses and greenery
Vall de Cavall was founded in 2006 by Peter and Ines. As the name suggests — cavall is Valencian for horse — horses have a part in the place. You eat here looking out at the greenery and at the Montgó, the mountain between Dénia and Jávea. For a long lunch on a sunny day or dinner on a summer evening it is a quiet spot, away from the bustle of the coast.
