El Mosset Dénia — Restaurant in Dénia

This is one of our favorite local 'hole in the wall' restaurants in Denia. It's a down to earth environment, authentic Spanish and Valencian food with various tapas and good wines at great prices. The ingredients are fresh and many of them locally sourced. We particularly love the tomato salad with cave-aged 'cabrales' cheese which comes from the northern region of Asturias. It features 1 gigantic tomato that easily fed four of us, along with avocado and other salad goodies. Their rabo de torro (ox tail) is also wonderful. We'll add more pictures...

We went to Denia for the day. I'd googled nearby restaurants and chose here. He was in a hurry because he had an exam. Large menu, he went for a bocadillo and since the menus are for two, I ended up doing the same. His had the big tomatoes they are famous for, he gave me a slice & that was the best thing I ate. I've only given them a 3 as they gave us two tapas, one of which we didn't like and charged us for them. If you are going to do that at least ask people what they'd like. I'd go back for the tomates de Perelló. Drinks were also dear 3.50€...

Random choice to stop on arriving in Denia for real Spanish food. It was brilliant and very much The real deal. The place is full of wood panelling, cool posters, huge jars of olives, pickles, and hams. Interesting Spanish dishes, beautiful salads, and amusingly named open and closed sandwiches (like the Clint Eastwood bocadillo). All the bread is sourdough (pan de masa madre). The younger staff speak a little English but please try at least a few words in Spanish - this seems a haven for locals and not a tourist...
