He became obsessed with French cookbooks as a teenager and set about educating himself in the culinary arts. Today, his cooking pays homage to the fish, seafood and rice dishes of the levant to create tasting menus that artfully combine the traditional with the modern.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Culinary influences:<\/strong>\u00a0Highly influenced by art and architecture, Dacosta\u2019s food has always been sensational to look at, and his tasting menus come together in a series of theatrical tapas-inspired courses that elevate Spain\u2019s edible ecosystem with clever innovation and advanced technique. In 2024, Dacosta embarked on a journey titled Por Amor al Arte II (For the Love of Art II). The resulting menu aims to stimulate his diners\u2019 feelings and emotions with a harmonious and sensitive approach.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theworlds50best.com\/filestore\/W50BR24\/W50BR24%20-Quique%20Dacosta-team.jpg\" alt=\"Quique Dacosta\"\/><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AT THE PASS<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Menu highlights:<\/strong>\u00a0In the four-act menu, guests take a journey through Dacosta\u2019s mind. The first act is inspired by the local area and includes bites of mullador [Valencian ratatouille], mackerel and tomato salad. The next act takes inspiration from the sea and features delicacies such as corals of nori seaweed and rice, and red tuna belly cured in a saline atmosphere. Traditions are behind the third act where guests enjoy the sang amb ceba (a traditional Valencian dish usually made with chicken or pork solidified blood) duck and pickled onion in beet and Elche pomegranate. The final act, \u2018sweet beauty\u2019 features cortex of carob, morels and Mediterranean pine.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Other projects:<\/strong>\u00a0Dacosta owns ArrosQD, an innovative concept in the heart of London and El Poblet, Llisa Negra and Vuelve Carolina in Valencia. In 2024, he unveiled A Fuego, a selection of ready-to-cook, wood-smoked paella.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A journey to the Levant expressed through tradition and technique What\u2019s the story?\u00a0The man behind the eponymous restaurant is the ever-dapper Quique Dacosta, a chef with more than 30 years\u2019 experience leading the charge of Valencia\u2019s increasingly dazzling culinary scene.
