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-152- xabia-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 ).

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
