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. 96 579. 3331 / f. Tues.midday. Restaurante EVEREST SPICE (Costa Nova):   Another Nepalese restaurant with charming décor; top of road up from Saladar to Costa Nova Panorama just after the hairpin bend and over the top onto the road towards La Guardia and Granadella (just after the now re-opened community centre). Pleasant atmosphere & beautiful gardens (but the green lawn/carpet ought to go !). We have had good reports but, judging by their rather poor quality menu-del-dia, we think their strengths may lie in their à la carte Nepalese cuisine. So best proceed with care in that direction. Considerate and friendly service. Take-away service is available. Very low muzak. Tel : 96 577.0230 / E-mail: [email protected] CHINESE - 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 €10.95 (€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/or are feeding hordes of kids. 96 579.7016 / daily 12-24h. Restaurante (the 5-star) BENI ASIA (BENITACHELL): On right side of the Cumbre del Sol road which leads off Benitachell high street (left at traffic lights just after Mas-y- Mas).  This is regarded by very many (including your writer and former residents of Singapore & Hong Kong) as the best Chinese restaurant in the whole area, lead by the charming owner, Fan-Fan.  Duck (Peking and “à l’orange”) a speciality - of course !  Every dish tastes different and the food here is free of MSG.  96 649 4042 / [email protected]
