A restaurant that exudes a passion for cooking, plenty of experience and the unmistakeable talent of staff trained by Martín Berasategui. The first thing that chef Joaquín Baeza will casually tell you is that, in keeping with his mentor, he is here to bring joy to his guests! This small, unpretentious restaurant is run with great dedication by the chef alongside Esther Castillo, who works as front-of-house manager and sommelier. The modern Mediterranean cooking here, whose leitmotifs are the diversity and seasonality of Alicante’s produce, gives pride of place to aromatic herbs picked personally by the chef (lemon basil, thyme, mint, lemon verbena etc) as well as olive oils with plenty of personality (Elipse Gourmet, Capilla del Fraile, Diez+Oro etc). His painstakingly prepared menus (Short and Long) are complemented by a few additional suggestions in the form of half or full “raciones”. The intensity of flavours here is amazing!
