From the first coffee to the last cocktail, at the marina

In the Marina de Dénia, Basta! sees itself as a meeting place: coffee and a croissant by the harbour in the morning, lunches and dinners with daily menus and, as night falls, cocktail hour.

A meeting place by the harbour

Basta! opens early in the Marina de Dénia. The idea is simple: enjoy a good coffee and a croissant in the calm of the harbour, or work remotely for a while, and then stay on for lunch or dinner. From 9:00 to 12:00 they serve breakfast with freshly baked croissants, egg dishes, yoghurt with fresh fruit and granola, or the Basta! breakfast with a glass of cava.

International cuisine, from morning to night

From 12:00, the «menú del día» —four courses that change daily, made with seasonal produce— sits alongside an extensive menu. In the evening, until 00:00, dinner brings in Asian influences and is paired with wines from different regions, with desserts to finish. Younger guests have their own dishes too.

An all-day bar and music on Wednesdays

The bar is open all day, from espresso or carajillo to teas, beers, wines and cocktails; if the one you fancy isn't on the menu, just ask the bartender. On Wednesdays there is live music from 19:00, with local bands and songs from the 70s to today. For groups they prepare tailor-made menus on request.
