Restaurant Peix & Brases

I chose Peix & Brases in Dénia based on a recommendation in the Michelin Guide, and I can honestly say that lunch there exceeded all my expectations. I opted for the 10-course tasting menu (€116), and from the very first amuse-bouche a true symphony of flavors and aromas began to unfold. Each course was beautifully presented and thoughtfully composed, delighting both the eye and the palate. As an aperitif, I enjoyed a virgin piña colada, which was nice and fragrant, accompanied by three outstanding amuse-bouches. The menu focused primarily on fish and seafood. Every dish was a harmonious interplay of ingredients, with inventive combinations and flavors that complemented each other seamlessly. I am truly glad I chose the longer menu, as it allowed me to experience the full breadth of the chef’s creativity. All dishes delivered were perfectly balanced with wonderfully intense flavors; the vegetables were cooked to perfection, and the local prawns, squids and octopus were absolutely exceptional. The desserts were equally impressive. In particular, the raspberry variations with panna cotta and rose-petal ice cream were outstanding. I concluded the menu with mint tea, served with three delicate and delicious gourmandises, a perfect ending to an excellent meal. The service was warm, attentive, and highly professional, with a level of customer care that was truly admirable. Only their English definitely needs some improvement (and my Spanish, too :) ). The restaurant certainly deserves its Michelin star, and I would highly recommend it. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

The restaurant truly feels worthy of Michelin recognition. Its atmosphere is sophisticated, service flawless, and the menu reveals a thoughtful complexity with inventive flavor combinations. We enjoyed a lovely table with a great view, which elevated the experience. While some dishes stood out more than others, the overall quality makes this restaurant absolutely worth trying.

Dinner at Peix & Brases feels like stepping into a different league compared to the usual Costa Blanca seafood spots. It’s not just about eating fish or rice – they actually play with traditional flavors in a more refined way. We tried the tasting menu and it was one of those meals where you recognize the ingredients but they come out dressed differently – red prawn from Dénia (of course), rice that had layers of flavor, and some creative small dishes that still kept the soul of Spanish cuisine without turning into something gimmicky. The setting is smart but not stiff – you can sit upstairs with a view of the castle which is especially nice on a warm evening. Service is polished, more fine-dining style, but still warm enough that it doesn’t feel over the top. Wine list is very strong, plenty of local bottles too, which I appreciated. It’s not the cheapest night out, but for Dénia – a town that takes food seriously – it’s one of the spots that actually justifies the price. If you’re into Spanish seafood and rice but want to see it done with a modern touch, Peix & Brases is the place.

Booked for wedding anniversary dinner while we were on holiday. Beautiful food and fantastic service. Made for a really special occasion. We had the tasting menu and it was delicious.

Michelin star really? We are not sure about this, it is not all about the food experience, is about to make you feel special, and unfortunately this restaurant did not lift us as expected. Food was amazing this we have to give the truth. However, this is Spain, a Spanish chef in Costa Blanca, homeland of paella, seafood rice, top of the art dishes… then why the whole staff is Colombian? All waiters come from Colombia, trying to explain a Michelin Star dish in South American accent… was really funny. The main manager, was very unfriendly to be honest… like: just after sitting… what are you gonna have? Wine list nothing special… We have eaten in other Michelin star restaurants in the area that were so much better… Terraza was so cold… Not coming back.

One has too be clean, which restaurant he/she is visiting- ground-floor part is casual, first floor part is the Michelin one. We’ve booked for the same day, apart from us, only two more tables were occupied- so getting a table off season is easy. We really enjoyed the whole experience- food was delicious and very nicely presented. We had the shorter 75€ menu. Service impeccable and not invasive. Stuff could improve the English though, as it’s basically non-existent, good we understand Spanish pretty well. The restaurant has a somewhat minimalistic interior design, which being not fully booked feels a bit lonely & empty. Could use some extra atmosphere. Totally recommend as it’s a fantastic quality/price ratio for a 1-star Michelin.

Good service. Good wine. Good view. Food is also nice (not meat). The level of restaurant is very high and same for many years. They open 2d floor for lunch at 13.30 only (not 13) Oysters are best in the area. Wine list is full of surprises But meat is not good every time. It’s strange because meat is wonderful at 1st floor cafe

I have been to this restaurant twice for lunch and dinner. It has two parts the fusion restaurant that is downstairs and the sophisticated one upstairs overlooking the Port of Denia. The food was great though a bit pricy. They offer a range of seafood dishes, with a menu that can be shared between two people. The risotto dish was absolutely delicious and the red gambas al vapor simply tasty! The service is quite professional and very detailed with information about each dish they served. I cannot forget to mention the washroom! Very clean and stylishly decorated. Highly recommend the place
