About Deluz
Deluz is a modern Spanish restaurant in Santander with a garden terrace, a smart-casual dress code, a listed price of about $45 per person. The details point to a restaurant where the terrace and the modern Spanish cooking are central to the experience.
The main reason to choose it is the combination of Santander location, garden-terrace atmosphere, a menu that includes both local references and broader Spanish cooking. It makes sense when the table wants a composed meal with a little more occasion than a quick bite.
A garden-terrace choice for lunch or dinner in Santander
The kitchen sits in modern Spanish territory. Signature dishes include Rigatoni “plaza athénée” con salsa de bogavante, arroz con almejas al estilo de Pedreña, canelones de cabrito de Bejes de Picos de Europa, whole seabass, classic Santander snacks. That range gives the restaurant a clear identity without needing to frame it around a single tasting-menu format or a single narrow specialty.
Hours are useful for both daytime and evening planning. Deluz serves lunch from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM on Sunday and from Tuesday to Saturday, it serves dinner from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM Tuesday through Saturday. Monday is closed. Dinner is a fit when the occasion calls for an evening meal, while lunch works for a daytime meal.
Deluz has a Macarfi 6.7 Food Rating for 2026, which gives some external context, but the main reason to book is direct: modern Spanish cooking, a garden terrace, a moderate listed price point in Santander.
Who should book it, who should skip it
Book if the occasion needs a little polish without tipping into formal. The smart-casual dress code fits the setting: not stiff, but put-together. It also works well for guests who want a modern Spanish restaurant in Santander with a garden-terrace feel rather than a purely functional meal.
Skip it if the main goal is a very quick or ultra-casual meal. The information supports Deluz as a more composed restaurant choice, especially for lunch or dinner built around the setting as much as the food.
