Quique Dacosta in Dénia
Quique Dacosta: three Michelin stars in Dénia
With three Michelin stars, Quique Dacosta in Dénia is the most highly decorated restaurant on the Costa Blanca and one of the few three-star restaurants in Spain. In 2026 the chef also received the MICHELIN Mentor Chef Award. There is one tasting menu and no carte, and you book well in advance.
One menu at 315 euros, and what you have to arrange for it
There is no carte. You eat the OCTAVO tasting menu at 315 euros a head, ten per cent VAT included; the wine pairing costs 165 euros and the premium version 215 euros. Reckon on two and a half to three hours at the table. Booking goes through the system on their own site, and by e-mail from nine people upwards. A guarantee of 150 euros a guest is taken, which is only charged if you do not turn up or cancel too late; you can change or cancel up to five days beforehand. The dress code is smart casual. Children under ten are not recommended: there are no high chairs and no children’s menu, though there is an alternative from 98 euros. Pets are not allowed.

The menu and what they pour
