Restaurante Ca Pepa Teresa — Restaurant in Dénia

For whom it’s recommended:
Seeking authentic, traditional Spanish cuisine with focus on tapas but not limited to. Ideal for those who enjoy sharing plates with friends, lingering over a meal, and immersing themselves in a convivial atmosphere. This is not a place for a quick bite, but rather for a full dining experience.

What we ordered:

1. Grandma’s Spicy Potatoes: Standout dish. Perfectly seasoned, balanced in spice and flavor, with a homely authenticity that clearly comes from a cherished recipe.
2. Grilled Seasonal Vegetables: A large variety (mushrooms, aubergine, peppers, onions, zucchini, tomatoes, asparagus). Generous portion, thoughtfully composed.
3. Fried Baby Squid: well executed; tender and crisp without excess oil.
4. Cocas: Highly recommended who wants to try a local dish. Creative toppings, rustic yet refined.
5. Bread & Sauces: A full loaf served, surprisingly generous for the price. Aioli strong, bold, and memorable.
6. Wine: Both the house white and the Finca Resalso red were excellent pairings. Beyond these, the menu offers a broad selection of regional wines and even organic cava.

Price–Performance:
€72.50 for two people. Portions are substantial, and the quality of both food and wine is consistently high. Excellent overall value. Could have served also 3 people.

Service:
Attentive, warm, and refreshingly honest. The staff proactively advised against over-ordering, noting overlaps in dishes (e.g., mushrooms already included in the vegetable platter). This created a sense of trust and care, rather than upselling.

Overall:
A strong recommendation for anyone seeking a traditional tapas experience executed at a high level. The restaurant is clearly popular, reservations are advisable, as walk-ins may struggle to find a table. With its balance of authenticity, generosity, and service, this is a place worth revisiting to explore the wider menu, especially the...

We spent a family evening here and almost everything was satisfying! The atmosphere of the restaurant is very cozy and the open kitchen makes a nice impression. Our food, a paella with seafood, tapas (meatballs, papatas bravas, fish, and the bread) was delicious and worth the price (which is normal and actually pretty cheap). Our only negative point goes to the staff which seemed to act somehow superficial and didn’t show big interest to the guest. Maybe this hectic behaviour is normal here, but for us it didn’t feel so nice. Anyways, we definitely recommend...

We'd discovered this amazing place some few year's back, then the all world came to a stand still because of the COVID-19, now that we have been allowed out again we decided to call in and see if it was as good as we'd remembered! Well, what can we say: "Excellent" it's the first word that comes to mind, not only they'd refurbished and kept it inviting in what have been 2&1/2 years of ordeal for restaurants,but they have introduced a new Meat cabinet chiller that really makes you appreciate the quality of the Beef you are going to be served! We shall be...
