[email protected] FAMILY RESTAURANTS / GOOD & RELIABLE (Euros 25 - 35 per head)   Restaurante AMANECER : c.300m on the right, along the ridge of the headland going to the Cabo San Antonio (off the summit of the Jávea-Denia mountain road – the fire got rather close !!). What a surprise to find this restaurant now so wonderfully refurbished with shaded pool-side bar and eating area, comfortable pool-side furniture and, within, an elegant airconditioned dining room. During their visit the Southampton Uni Symphony Orch. spent the whole afternoon here and all spoke very highly of how well they’d been looked after. If you, or your relatives, do not have a swimming pool here is a place to have lunch and spend the afternoon (with the grandchildren). The dining area is large enough for social functions yet still acceptable for more intimate dining. Menu-del-dia €11. Easy parking. A good addition to the list. Tel: 96 579.0765 / E-mail: [email protected] / www. restauranteamanecer.es Restaurante ATTICO : Atop the Hotel Jávea in the Jávea Puerto. Our apologies for not having ever listed this worthy establishment but my claustrophobia prevents me rising to the excellent and attractive restaurant in the lift to the top of this hotel. Don't hesistate - both the food and the view are superb. Tel: 96 579 5461 / E-mail: [email protected] CAFÉ AUSTRIACO – Café & Bakery (Jávea; Arenal beach front).  This excellent bakery continues to offer their superb bread/croissants & gâteaux from 07:00h daily.  (also served at their café. Tel : 96 647.1004 / open daily / Another source of very excellent bread is the (expensively-priced, muzak-infested) Saladar Supermarket.
