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 http://www.verema.com/ restaurantes/36008-amarre-152xabia-javea 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. 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 : 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! Often very busy so you must go early (say
