I have been eating out with a cook's eye for thirty years. Here I know the tables where it all adds up: the produce, the place, the people. I drive, I translate, I explain. You eat.
Available to request for dates from 1 April 2027.
What it is
A day or an evening with me as host and guide. A clifftop restaurant near Moraira; a chiringuito, a beach bar on a bay; a bodega, a wine house up in the mountains — and on the way, the story behind whatever arrives at the table.
Who it is for
From four people. Can be booked on its own if you need nothing else from me.
What it costs
€175 per person, including transport and guiding, excluding the restaurant bill — that way everyone chooses their own food and wine.
The addresses
Three places I take you to. You hear their names from me.
The wine estate
An organic estate in the hills behind Moraira, among the old riuraus where the raisins used to dry. Their Moscatel is dry — and surprises everybody. Thirteen minutes in the car and you are in a different Spain.
The café you would never expect
A plain old bar on an ordinary street in Moraira. No sign, no menu by the door. In the Netherlands this cook would have had a star. Here he just stands behind the bar.
The table in the valley
An old finca in the Jalón valley, chandeliers above white tables, vineyards running all the way to the mountains. The finest place for a long lunch that I know.
You get the names from me. That is half the pleasure.
Staying in Moraira
Two family villas, through Stay in Moraira: Casa Amandine (five bedrooms, five minutes from Calpe) and Casa La Viña (four bedrooms, up on the hill with a view over the valley). Both with a pool and an outdoor table that is big enough.

Tell me what you have in mind and I will come back with a proposal. Nothing is committed here — this is not a booking and nothing is paid.
