Having frequently supped a beer or two in the square outside this restaurant, it came as a surprise to see this place appear since our last visit. Looked worth a lunch....and it certainly was. Staff/owners were incredibly helpful and the food was delicious and slightly differently presented compared to other places. It does burgers and burritos along with usual Spanish tapas, all of which tasted fantastic. Really looking forward to going back again later this year.

I'm from Melbourne and used to Melbourne prices... Therefore, this place is a god send! €2 wines, €8 ribs... We have never had anything like it. There's was 8 of us and we listened to a great live band, while sitting in the sun and enjoying life. Thanks so much, it was super amazing. Will be back for sure!!!

Service and presentation is excellent at this venue but food cost to value is average, The dishes are moderate in size and diners could be hungry when leaving the restaurant but quality and service is outrstandingly good.Average cost per diner in late 2015 was 11 euros per person for menu del dia, - evening menu at weekends very good and very attentive but inobtrusive service. One of the better venues in the centre of Ontinyent

Bigfoot is an expansion of the very successful Restaurant DEBOSC also in Ontinyent. Bigfoot is more the light bite establishment but not light on quality. Well presented Burgers and tapas. Nice salads and nicely located in a children's park. Terrace outside and comfortable interior. Modern and light decor. The price matches the standard of the food served. Worth a try.

Was introduced here for a formal dinner. This restaurant proves once more why Spain is at the top in Europe in culinary terms: a perfect balance between traditional ingredients and innovative technique.Highlight from the tasting menu where small squid with artichoke and a dish of roasted cod with onions. All dishes had this focus on one or two top ingredients. Seasoning just so perfect.Still, the dish which makes me want to return was the dessert: candied pumpkin and caramelized aubergine (yes) with a yogurt and coconut ice cream. The best dessert I ate in a very long time. Left me speechless.Wines rather forgettable and interior decoration best not taken notice of. Service is home style, young informal.In all a very big surprise, for the combination of quality ingredients and perfect technical execution, definitely remarkable at the price we payed.

Been there twice now and I love it. Fantastic well presented food for both lunch or dinner. Ontinyent really has got some great resaurants and this is no exception. Try the house cheese cake. It like nothing I've ever seen or tasted. They will be very successful.

3. Restaurant Sents

In my opinion, Sents is one of the world's best restaurants. The elegant contrasts of Valencian and Asian, hot and cold, wet and dry... perfectly measured and executed recipes... well-conceived progression in the menu and carefully chosen wine pairings... it's gastronomy of the highest order, and delight beyond belief. Moreover, the dining room is spacious, quiet (with discreet chill-out background music), and has a pleasant view over a park. Service is kind, attentive, well-informed, and efficient. Sents offers only two menus: one with 12 courses, the other with 15. (If you want a la carte, try their more informal restaurant, La Cuina, next door.) I had 12 courses and it was a suitable quantity for me. At around 90 euros per person with wine pairing, it's not exactly low-budget, but still a bargain considering that the quality matches or surpasses many world-famous Michelin three-stars. Five TripAdvisor stars (or even three Michelin ones) can't begin to do justice to such a sublime dining experience. Go see for yourself!

We had such an enjoyable evening here in the terrace at the back. We speak no Spanish and the owner speaks about the same amount of English! He patiently took time to carefully explain the menu and the dining options with us guessing words and using Google translate. And the resulting meal was delicious. We arrived at 9pm and were the first there but it soon started to fill up.The concept (when we were there anyway) is a fixed menu. You share starters and have a meat or fish plate as a main course. Then he prepared a platter of desserts for us so we could each try a variety. For €20 a head you get 2 starter platters, a main, dessert and coffee. For €27 you get an extra starter plus your drink included. We enjoyed a lovely bottle of a local red wine.We're still not sure what the starters we had were (We had Google translate tell him we trust you, bring whatever you think). But the little filo pastries filled with chorizo, black pudding and a sausage meat were delicious. As was what seemed essentially a delicious fishcake served on a round of flatbread. And we had vol-au-vents filled with a mushroomy mousse.For mains you select your meat/fish and each came With some sauteed potatoes and peppers. With many hand gestures he managed to let us know there was shoulder of lamb, pork fillet (gesturing down his spine), or knee (knuckle? ) of pork, as well as a tuna option and another fish. (Unfortunately no breast of chicken as I'm sure that would have been hysterical for him to act out for us ). We had a choice of pepper or blue cheese sauce for the meats. He was happy to do plain for the children.To sum it up, the highlight for us was the owner/manager taking the time and trouble for friendly service with a smile. And the fun of trying to communicate with single words and mimes. That the food was excellent and the candlelit garden atmospheric were happy bonuses. Oh. And in case you're wondering why it was so difficult... We didn't realise we could ask for a copy of the menu of the day, we only got that as we left as a souvenir! You could always ask at the start

Wow La Cuina is fantastic! A modern restaurant with well spaced tables, comfy seats, classy glassware & plates, background music at just the right volume & groovy designer lighting. Staff are professional & knowledgeable & very importantly warm & friendly. Now to the food, creative, interesting, delicious.... the cuttlefish burgers are a perfect blend of flavour & texture, the sardines again balanced perfectly, the mains of slowed cooked lamb & corvina fish (similar to sea bass) prepared & cooked to the highest standard, oh & the dark chocolate coulant done to perfection, crispy outer layer & runny warm centre. The produce is premium & the kitchen is experimental. Do not miss eating here if you are in the area, booking essential. Bravo La Cuina
