L'Escoleta

Dénia


A range of flavours are at play in this innovative but friendly and unpretentious spot at the beginning of the Calle Loreto strip. Not all the combinations work, but there are some stunning dishes when they do. You can sit out on the street or in the elegant interior, but most pleasant on a summery night is the interior patio.
