When you see the drying racks on the coast (Les Rotes, etc.), you'll know you're in octopus territory. Dried octopus on the Costa Blanca isn't just a dish: it's a symbol. It represents the union between land and sea, the ingenuity of those who learned to preserve what nature offered, and the pride of a people who keep their identity alive through gastronomy.

Since it was first erected, the building has served countless functions, everything from convent to a school. For the last 30 years it has housed the restaurant, while maintaining such details as the archways and walls, and the colourful original decor. It also hosts a number of art exhibitions throughout the year, paintings and sculptures creating an ambience of restrained luxury.
Restaurant Oustau is currently run by the outstanding and dynamic restaurateur Olivier Burri. The culinary approach maintains a distinct French influence, with a number of suggestions inspired by the great classics of cinematic tradition, while also paying heed to the day's recommendations at the vegetable and fish markets.
