One of the most common questions before going anywhere is simple: how much will it cost me? In Dénia there are restaurants for all budgets, and it's not always easy to know this beforehand. That's why in this guide we review, section by section, the prices of El Mosset's à la carte menu and its sharing menus. These are the prices listed on the menu (VAT included), so you can plan without surprises.
An important note: prices may change over time or with the market. If you want to confirm something specific, always check the updated menu or ask by phone.
What influences what you pay when eating out
Before getting into figures, it's good to be clear about what makes a meal more or less expensive. In almost any restaurant in Dénia the same thing happens:
- The type of meal: a sandwich almuerzo is not the same as a meat or fish dinner.
- The product: acorn-fed Iberian ham, red tuna, or Santoña anchovies cost more than a common cured meat, and it shows in the price.
- Tapa or portion: ordering tapas allows you to try more things while spending less on each.
- À la carte or menu: a fixed menu gives you a price per person known in advance.
- Drinks and dessert: add up to more than it seems, especially in a group.

From the sea and the bar
Aquí está el picoteo clásico: desde la sobrasada de Mallorca con encurtidos y pan (2,20 €) o las gildas (2,50 €) hasta platos más serios como el pulpo a la gallega con patata panadera (20,00 €) o el atún rojo del Estrecho (25,00 €). Entre medias, raciones muy pedidas como las gambas al ajillo (14,00 €) o los boquerones de Dénia, a la plancha o en fritura (7,00 / 12,00 €).

Los arroces, el puchero valenciano y la alubia de Tolosa se preparan por encargo con un día de antelación y no llevan precio en la carta. Lo mejor es preguntar al encargarlos. En el artículo sobre el arroz por encargo en Dénia te explicamos cómo pedirlos.

What does not appear with a price on the menu
For your calculation to be complete, take into account these items, which do not have a fixed price on the menu or are added separately:
- Drinks. They are not included in the menus and are paid separately, just like when you eat à la carte.
- Rice dishes and traditional cuisine by order. Stew, Tolosa beans and the four rice dishes are consulted when ordering them.
- The roasted suckling pig, which goes according to market.
- The gluten-free bread supplement, of €1.50 per sandwich.
With these four things in mind, the menu gives you a very accurate idea of what you are going to pay. If you are a large group, the most practical thing is to call and discuss what you have in mind: this way they can guide you between à la carte, menu or custom order.
Five ideas to eat well without going over budget
- Order in tapa format. With several tapas you try more dishes and control spending better.
- Choose a fixed menu. You know the price per person from the beginning.
- Combine a sandwich with something to share. It's a complete meal and usually works out cheaper than a main course per person.
- Reserve expensive products to share. A portion of ham or red tuna among several looks better and works out better per person.
- Ask what goes according to market. This way you know the price before ordering it.
With this you already have a pretty clear idea of what it costs to eat at El Mosset, a restaurant in Dénia center where you can go from a simple almuerzo to a celebratory meal.
