El Poblet

Founded by the celebrated culinary virtuoso Quique Dacosta, this restaurant is a heartfelt homage to his personal journey. Its name, El Poblet, nods to the original title of Dacosta’s renowned establishment in Dénia, now bearing his own name. At the helm of the kitchen is Chef Luis Valls, whose cuisine is a vibrant expression of contemporary Valencian cooking rooted deeply in local tradition. Drawing inspiration from the surrounding region—particularly the cherished Albufera—his dishes blend innovation with authenticity, offering bold flavours, refined textures, and the finest local ingredients.

Highlights include an inventive reinterpretation of charcuterie and meticulous attention to seasonal produce. Guests can choose from several tasting menus: a weekday-friendly shorter menu, a vegetarian option (available by advance request), and two immersive culinary journeys—Ciutat Vella and Territori. The wine list is equally distinguished, featuring esteemed labels and a remarkable collection of malt whiskies. Notably, the restaurant also engages in culinary research, with a special focus on citrus fruits such as citrons, kumquats, and pear lemons, underscoring its commitment to innovation and terroir.
