AND A TIP... for FISH & CHIPS : For excellent
FISH & CHIPS try THE INN on the GREEN
(Bowling Club on the Jávea - Benitachell road)
!!
Restaurante LA CALETA : Avda.Ultramar 114,
Jávea (Cala Blanca). Excellent, but simple,
fish etc. on the rocks with just the noise of
the sea (unpolluted by muzak !). Careful what
you order – this isn’t as cheap as it appears !
Closes end Sept. for the winter (likely to open
again in May).
Restaurante LA CANTINA DE JAVEA :
Situate right in front of the fishing fleet in
Jávea’s port (on the ground floor right around
the back (left side) of the one storey building by
the fishing boats). Clientele is very Spanish.
Best Patatas Bravas in Jávea ! They are often
very busy so you must go early (say 12:30h).
Very good prices. Their fish menus consist of
the catches of the day. They are serving all
day long (and usually even after the cinema).
Tel: 96 579 2190 / open tlj : 7/7.
Restaurante COVA del MERO : beach road
north of Denia : Magnificent fish restaurant on
the beach. From Denia harbour take coast
road northwards through Las Marinas to the
5km stone, turn right at traffic light (modern
sculpture on far left corner), drive to beach,
turn left. Menu del dia €23. Their speciality is
Llandeta – their (unique?) and very famous,
and most delicious, “wet” white fish dish with
potato (to be booked in advance). We have
taken groups totalling over 200 people to eat
this dish with only one dissenter. NOT TO BE
MISSED. Must book.
Tel : 96 578.4864 / open 7/7.

NEW MANAGEMENT –
At last this is getting sorted. The first
good reviews have reached us !
Restaurante LES FOUGES (fish restaurant
and delicatessen & retail fish shop) : Cami
Paellero 3, Moraira (drive south from Moraira
– on the right side before Pepe la Sal). We
thought that the re-location and enlargement of
this fish shop and restaurant to the coast road
just south of Moraira was the most exciting
gastro-event of last year; uniquely here is
a fish shop attached to a restaurant (or vice
versa !). This marvellous French family-run
operation offers a huge range of fish and shell
fish as well as the best selection of French
cheeses you’ve seen anywhere in Spain (incl.
the divine Boursault) …. and a marvellous
range of delicious pâtisseries, tartelettes &
gâteaux, patés, terrines, French tinned/bottled
specialities and French bread. In a separate
room are 6 tanks of lobsters ! Also on offer
are scallops, fresh haddock, skate, cabillaud/
cod, lubina, dorada, oysters, potted shrimps,
tarama (French – excellent but stronger than
the UK version) and many other sorts of fish
and fruits de mer – the range is huge). Guests
must first choose their meal in the shop. It is
then transferred to the kitchens for preparation.
They also serve meat and look after veggies !!
The wine list is the most astonishing we have
seen anywhere – especially of French wines –
because they are at amazing prices (same at
retail as at the table – a Pouilly Fuissé at €14).
They tell us they are starting to open on some
evenings. Best arrange a driver to take you
home. Booking is essential as, no surprise,
it is full most of the time !! Tel: 678 488895
/ MIDDAY ONLY (f. Sunday p.m. & Monday
otherwise open 10:00 - 18:00h. The kitchen
closes 16:00h). Times etc. to be confirmed.

Restaurante MENA : Wonderful position
situate right on the rocks at the end of the
Las Rotas road (go over Jávea / Montgó
road to Denia and turn hard right at bottom
roundabout). It was toxically xenophobic,
expensive and with bad muzak….. but we hear
it’s under new management so certainly worth
a try…. or drive on a little further and there's
another good restaurant (Ca Nano) at the end
on the right. Tel : 96 578.0943 / f. evenings

Restaurante PISCIS : C/Marjeleta 10, Moraira
: off the palm-tree'd avenue towards sea,
turning off on left and a few mins. from main
car park). Recent comments received indicate
that this is still one of the finest creative haute
cuisine fish restaurants of the region. No menu
del día. Tel : 96 649.0616 / f. Sunday / http://
