Flores Raras

This centrally located restaurant, formerly known as El Poblet, changed its name and took a new direction under the leadership of chef Carolina Álvarez, a native of Mexico, who spent six years working as the right-hand woman of award-winning chef Quique Dacosta. In their own words, Flores Raras ‘shares the creative DNA and gastronomic rigour of the three-Michelin-starred Quique Dacosta Restaurant in Dénia’.Here, their elaborate contemporary offering, built on technical mastery, aesthetic sensitivity and a close relationship with the product, revolves around three tasting menus: 1988 (available from Tuesday to Thursday, for dinner only, and on Friday at lunchtime), Esencia and Flores Raras. Working alongside her on the project to maintain high standards and enhance the experience are Delia Claure, who manages the dining room, and Hernán Menno, the sommelier. We absolutely loved the whale stew, a dish inspired by Japanese cuisine!
