The Ca Nano Menu is more than a list of dishes—it is a curated voyage through the colours, aromas and traditions of Spain’s Costa Blanca. Taste gamba roja that makes Dénia famous, extra-virgin olive oil pressed nearby and citrus ripened under three-hundred days of sunshine. Every element on the Menu captures sea breeze, slow Mediterranean living and the warmth of friendly service.
Just steps from the water, our kitchen follows the tides. At dawn fishing boats return and our chefs hand-pick line-caught species, guaranteeing freshness and low impact on marine habitats. Stocks, sauces and sofritos start with fish landed that morning, so flavours stay vivid while our footprint stays light. This coastal philosophy guides the entire Menu, allowing daily tweaks without ever compromising quality.
No visit is complete without exploring the rice section of the Menu. Choose classic arroz a banda simmered in rock-fish stock or dramatic black rice tinted with cuttlefish ink. Each paella arrives centre-table, slow-cooked over orange-wood embers that create the coveted socarrat crust—smoky, caramelised and brightened by a squeeze of fresh limón.
A chalkboard lists the catch inspiring the Menu’s seasonal specials: wild dentex baked in salt crust, grilled octopus dusted with pimentón or prawns flambéed in brandy. Traceability tags reveal the exact cove and vessel behind your meal, forging a transparent link between diner and fisher while supporting responsible practice.
Family farms supply organic vegetables, almonds and Hondón wines that harmonise with the Menu’s maritime soul. Kitchen scraps become compost nourishing the very fields that feed tomorrow’s harvest, closing the loop between plate and land and helping the region thrive.
Plant-forward guests enjoy vibrant salads, charcoal-roasted calçots with romesco and a hearty artichoke paella. These creations keep the Menu inclusive without sacrificing authenticity or depth of flavour admired by omnivore patrons, proving local produce shines whether it meets grill or paella pan.
Reserve at sunset for golden light over Les Rotes. Arrive hungry, allow two unrushed hours to progress from appetiser to rice, fish and dessert, and trust our sommelier to suggest Alicante vintages that elevate every bite. Finish with citrus-almond torta—a sweet farewell that lingers after the waves fade from view, turning a simple Menu into a lifelong memory.
