Mena in Dénia - Where you eat the sea
Mena in Dénia - Where to eat the sea Mediterranean flavours that look beyond the horizon - right on the coast of Dénia. A place
One menu, three courses - and everything to your own taste. The Maxim restaurant in Moraira proves that you don't need a surprise package or fine dining theatre to enjoy good food.
Here, diners can choose freely from the menu, put together their own personalised menu - and get a lot for a pleasantly fair price. The starting price: around 25 to 29 euros for three courses, selected from a clearly structured menu. Those who opt for more exquisite ingredients such as scallops or fillet of beef pay a moderate surcharge. But even without additional costs, the selection is large enough to keep you coming back - without repeating yourself.
Cuisine with ambition, but without appearance
What ends up on the plates is doubly convincing: visually finely presented, cleanly composed in terms of flavour. Each dish is well thought out, but not overambitious.
Something that runs through the entire menu - from tuna tartare with crispy maki to sous-vide beef cheeks with foie gras, rack of lamb or skewered hake fillet to homemade cheesecake, restructured piña colada or a fine selection of cheeses to finish.
You can taste the fresh produce used here - and the fact that the cooking is not staged but focussed makes all the difference.
Attentive service, quiet terrace
The atmosphere at Maxim is pleasantly unpretentious. The service is present, friendly and extremely attentive. If you take a seat on the terrace, you'll be surprised how quiet it is to sit here, even though the street is in sight. Inside: modern, stylish, but not over-designed. Outside: a sheltered, pleasantly airy place.
Conclusion:
A place for repeat offenders
Maxim does a lot of things right - precisely because it doesn't have to put on a show. The menu concept is uncomplicated, the price-performance ratio is absolutely right and the cuisine delivers what the menu promises. If you want to eat well regularly without a lot of fuss, you'll quickly become a regular here.
