Quique Dacosta joins Fagor Professional as brand ambassador

2026.06.24

At Fagor Professional, we are proud to announce the appointment of Quique Dacosta as our new brand ambassador, a partnership that brings together two industry leaders who share the same vision: a relentless pursuit of excellence, innovation, and a commitment to the evolution of professional gastronomy.

To speak about Quique Dacosta is to speak about one of the most influential figures in contemporary cuisine. Born in Extremadura and based in the Valencian Community since his youth, he has built an extraordinary career that has positioned him among the leading names in international gastronomy. His eponymous restaurant in Dénia, awarded three Michelin STARS since 2012, has become a global benchmark for creativity, artistic sensitivity, and respect for local heritage. Inspired by the Mediterranean and the natural environment surrounding his cuisine, his gastronomic vision has helped redefine the identity of contemporary Spanish cooking.

Throughout his career, Dacosta has developed far more than a collection of successful restaurants. He has built a strong business ecosystem that combines fine dining, contemporary hospitality, and the management of international projects. Under his leadership, renowned concepts such as Deessa in Madrid, awarded two Michelin Stars, El Poblet in Valencia, and Arros QD, with an international presence in cities such as London, have flourished. His ability to transform a culinary vision into a leading hospitality group has established him as one of the most influential entrepreneurs in the Spanish restaurant industry.

His work also extends to strategic markets such as Morocco, where he is involved in the development of gastronomic and hospitality projects linked to high-end tourism, contributing to the evolution of the region’s culinary offering and further strengthening his international reach. Among the many distinctions he has received are the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts, recognition as Best Entrepreneur in the Spanish Restaurant Industry by the Royal Academy of Gastronomy, and, most recently, the Michelin Mentor Chef Award, which acknowledges his contribution to the training and development of new generations of professionals.

Quique Dacosta’s appointment as Fagor Professional ambassador stems from a natural affinity between both organizations. We share the same understanding of gastronomy: a space where creativity, excellence, and entrepreneurial vision can only thrive when supported by technology, reliability, and expertise.

For decades, Fagor Professional has worked alongside chefs, restaurateurs, and operators around the world, developing solutions that respond to the real needs of professional kitchens. This philosophy aligns perfectly with Quique Dacosta’s vision, demonstrated throughout his career, that innovation must always serve the product, the people behind it, and the overall dining experience.

This collaboration represents much more than a partnership between a brand and a chef. It is the union of two projects that believe in continuous evolution, in the value of people, and in gastronomy’s ability to inspire, transform, and create meaningful impact. It brings together two organizations that share a global vision of the industry and a strong commitment to developing sustainable, innovative gastronomic models prepared to meet the challenges of the future.

Together, we embark on a new chapter with the ambition of continuing to shape the future of professional foodservice, developing solutions that enable professionals to reach their full potential and continue raising culinary standards around the world.
