NEW MANAGEMENT.
LE PARISIEN (Horno y pasteleria artesanal)
Next to Deutsche Bank (and/or opposite Humpty
Dumpty & Chez Angel) at Jávea’s Arenal. Can
report improvements and delicious French
(apple) tarts (etc.): Muzak slightly quieter. A
few chairs on pavement.
HAS RETURNED TO BEING VERY GOOD
Bar/Restaurante LAS OLAS : (on the Cabo
de la Nao road, on the right, half way between
CAIXA BANK (formerly Barclays) & the
Ferreteria PLA48). Frequent recent visits have
shown that the troubles are over and reports
have been regularly very good again.... a visitor
reported a superb Osso Bucco ....(a new chef,
perhaps ?). The mass of cars parked outside
tells us something ! Comments welcome,
please.
EASTERN RESTAURANTS (Jávea) :
NEPALESE (Indian?) RESTAURANTS
Being largely ignorant of Indian cuisine we have
wondered why these next three restaurants
are talked about over and above all other
(Indian? style) restaurants and two are listed
at Trip Advisor higher than the other Indian
restaurants. We can only assume it must be
the Nepalese influence and the reputation of
Northern Indian cuisine ! Go and try them.
Restaurante BUDDHA PALACE : Arenal opposite former Banca March & tennis club.
Always a most enjoyable experience and the
“bush telegraph” tells us that this is the place to
go ! Tel: 96 579 2894 / E-mail: buddhapalace1@
gmail.com / Open: tlj
The same family of owners (as Buddha
Palace above) have opened in Jávea port :
Restaurante CURRY PALACE : just after Bar
Clavo and the new gardens with the high wall.
Take away service.
Excellent reports. A good post-cinema stop !
Recently found it packed so try booking ! Open:
tlj. Tel: 96 579.2907 / E-mail: palacecurry@
gmail.com
Restaurante GURKHA PALACE: Avda.
Jaime 1, No.8 in Jávea port. Fine food with
good ambience. Take away service. Menus
del dia : €9.50 & €11.99 A la carte €20-30.
Tel: 96 579. 3331 / f. Tues.midday.
Restaurante EVEREST SPICE (previously
Riu Rau) (Costa Nova): Another Nepalese
restaurant with charming décor; top of road
up from Saladar to Costa Nova Panorama
just after hairpin bend on the road towards
La Guardia and Granadella (just after the
closed kindergarten). Pleasant atmosphere
& beautiful gardens. Good reports but slow
service - although their take-away service is
highly recommended). Tel : 96 577.0230 /
CHINESE
Restaurante The WOK BUFFET Jávea (On
roundabout opp. the CAIXA Bank (formerly
Barclays). Very good for families and now
with an extensive choice of shellfish included
in their super-bargain price. Eat all you like
for €10.50 (€5.95 for kids under 7). Go early
(12:30h for lunch, 19:30h for dinner) when the
huge spread is at its best. Attentive service.
No muzak. A bit of a “canteen” ambience but
this is a high quality "fill-up" if you are hungry
and feeding hordes of kids. 96 579.7016 / daily
12-24h.
FISH - JÁVEA & Denia
(from Euros 25.00 per head) :
Restaurante AMARRE 152 (Jávea): literally
"Mooring 152", tranquil situation by the bobbing
boats at the very head of the mooring creek
that goes inland from the Parador. Menus del
dia €20 (fish). Excellent for rice/fish dishes.
A recent visit this week showed them on top
form. Tel : 96 579.0629 / f. Monday

AMARRE TAPAS : along the Jávea seafront
nearly opposite La Siesta. Reports are still
not encouraging. This is in no way up to the
same standard as their excellent restaurant
(above). Service was over-familiar and the
muzak atrocious (drowning out the sound of
the sea we were told the screaming female
gave “ambiance” – my foot !). For music-hating
tourists only.
