Restaurant Quique Dacosta

"This restaurant reflects the personality of the eponymous chef, who was awarded the Gold Medal for Merit in the Fine Arts in 2020."Can a flavour be beautiful?" was the subject of a debate between artists in the documentary Cocinar Belleza ("Cooking Beauty"). Here, it has been thrust to the fore in an aesthetically enchanting tasting menu of the same name. Based on the iconic signature dishes of the house, it also includes other lesser-known creations, which, in the hands of this chef, are the source of unexpected details and harmonies of flavour. His philosophy is to champion nature and showcase the produce of the Mediterranean, always maintaining a clear commitment to the circular economy and even delivering the odd deliberately provocative dish as food for thought." - Michelin Inspector
