Restaurante Mena

This is one of the most classic restaurants in the city of Dénia and perhaps in the entire province. It’s located in a privileged area in the outskirts of the city with incomparable natural surroundings. This traditional restaurant is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or try the best of the best of traditional local dishes.

We left absolutely stuffed, to tell the truth. We went as part of a large group and we had a massive spread on the table. The plates, though, were delicious. We started with tapas and some unbeatable red shrimp from the region (you’ve never tried shrimp quite like it) and we went on to paella and fideuá.

This place has a well-deserved reputation as one of the best fish and rice restaurants in Dénia. They offer various menus ranging from 55€/person (a regional tasting menu featuring the famous red shrimp) to 27€. The price is more than reasonable if you take into consideration that 3 menus can easily feed four hungry adults. You must make reservations ahead of time in summer.
