Chef Javier Tortosa

Javier Tortosa, originally from Villena, has developed his international career in France and Ireland before returning to Alicante to take charge of the kitchen at Fondillón Restaurant. His philosophy is clear: locally sourced, seasonal produce and Mediterranean flavours, reinterpreted using contemporary techniques that highlight the authenticity of each ingredient.

Thus, fresh fish and seafood, locally grown vegetables, rice dishes and market produce play a leading role in a cuisine that blends local identity with innovation.

Culinary philosophy

Hospes Amérigo’s culinary proposal is based on four pillars:

  • Locally sourced and seasonal produce: freshness, quality and sustainability in every dish
  • Respect for Mediterranean tradition: reinterpreted with contemporary creativity
  • A variety of experiences: from haute cuisine to casual tapas or cocktails on the terrace
  • Atmosphere and sensations: gastronomy enjoyed in unique settings, featuring views, design and comfort.
