Non-stop kitchen facing the harbour

On the Dársena de Babor in the Marina de Dénia, Mala Vita opens every day from 9 am with a non-stop kitchen, a terrace over the sea and a menu for any time of day.

A balcony over the Marina

Mala Vita is part of Jávea Company, the restaurant group behind venues such as La Bambula, Bohemians and Julieta en su Balcón. Its terrace runs along the Dársena de Babor, among awnings, woven fibre lamps and strings of lights, with the harbour waters and the Dénia coastline as a backdrop. The indoor dining room, with its large windows, also looks out to sea.

A menu for the whole day

The kitchen never closes: it starts with breakfast and carries on with bocadillos, sandwiches and kebabs, salads and tapas, rancheras —little casseroles fresh from the oven—, pizzas, pasta and a meat and fish grill designed for sharing. There is a children's menu, desserts, a wine list and a cocktail menu to make the afternoon last.
