AMARRE TAPAS : along the Jávea seafront nearly opposite La Siesta . Reports are not encouraging . This is not up to the standard as their excellent restaurant . Service was overfamiliar & 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 ANOTHER 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 ( operates only May to late September ).
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 . Occasionally the 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 ). 96 579 2190 / open tlj : 7 / 7 .
Restaurante MENA Wonderful position situated 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
