The flavours of Italy facing the harbour

In La Marina de Dénia, The Food & Lounge Bar offers high-quality Italian cuisine, with fresh pasta and pizzas made in-house, open 365 days a year.

A terrace between the Montgó and the yachts

The Food & Lounge Bar is part of the Republic group and is located in La Marina de Dénia. Its restaurant and terrace look out over the Montgó mountain, the marina full of yachts and some of the most beautiful sunsets on the Costa Blanca. In summer, the air-conditioned dining room has floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the scenery; in winter, two fireplaces warm the room.

Fresh pasta, pizzas and dishes finished at the table

The menu pays tribute to Italian cuisine: all the fresh pasta and artisan pizzas are made in-house, alongside classic risottos and handmade ravioli. To start there are traditional antipasti such as beef carpaccio or vitello tonnato, and some dishes are finished in front of the guest.
