Restaurant Peix & Brases — Restaurant in Dénia

This restaurant as the previous client stated is not up to the standard of a michelin restaurant ...i have tried to meet with Juan Manuel Lopez the owner and chef and the manager is not only rude and ignorant but refuses to speak to Juan as he thinks he owns the restaurant..we work with seven top michelin chefs in the Costa Blanca and are the most exclusive online media for European residencia and the likes of Quique da costa-kiko Moya- Ferdinando Bernardi -Orobianco-Bon amp -Casa Pepa and more embrace this as they know it is the Europeans who are dining experts and spend large sums on dining out...therefore we are about to introduce to the Costa blanca a specialist app where you can go online and book Michelin restaurants and other top ones with information about all of them and their menus and chefs but due to the ignorant nature of there manager and his lack of understanding the industry we will now be reporting to Michelin that they drop Peix Brases as so many people are unhappy with the service and i suggest someone in there restaurant informs Juan Manuel Lopez of this so finds out what his manager is doing ...we will now be sending out social media to over 84,000 residents informing them not to dine at Peix...

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...

If you are looking for refined dining and don’t mind big flavour experience on small plates, read on. If you’re after great good but bigger portions, more relaxed environment it definitely wouldn’t be a first choice.

The food we ate here was absolutely stunning. We both had the cod and the shared the creme brûlée. I’m normally quite a fast eater but took my time to enjoy every last mouthful. The cod was cooked beautifully and there were some nice lifts of flavours with the garnish and a deep rich flavour in the sauce which lasts.

I fell in love with the pudding. Creme brûlée with Thai basil ice cream and fig, it really blew me away.

If you are a foodie, this place is well worth a visit.

One thing I would say is that I didn’t find the staff very friendly or welcoming. It’s very sleek, modern and minimalist which I found a bit pretentious and stuff hence only 4 stars. Food is 5 stars in my opinion and the wine list is impressive.

Would happily go again and will remember it for a long...
