Restaurante LE GOURMAND : Carretera Jesús Pobre 202.  In the last 3-4 years Le Gourmand has established itself in the affections of the community as one of the very best restaurants in the area.  We have organised group lunches there - a success with everyone ! Away from the Arenal beach they now flourish and are admired amongst residents & serious eaters.  Very popular - booking essential !  For summer there is a large (but no longer “mostly” muzak- free) covered area in the garden. Warning: They have occasional jazz evenings during spring/summer and a Jazz Lunch on Wednesdays. Menu- del-día €17 (which changes every Thursday). Ask to go on their mailing list. 96 628.9686 / f. Sun p.m. & Mon [email protected]  Restaurante at the JÁVEA GOLF CLUB : A “Gastro” Golf Club ?! Formerly one of Jávea’s best kept secrets? But why? Do golfers not eat? Please forget the golf and come here to eat!!! This establishment is under the management of the former chef & manager of El Rodat – José Manuel Pina - and we have visited it several times. The menu-del-dias are at €14 & €18. The latter is truly astonishing and if this isn’t, for a single example, the most wonderful Gazpacho of all time then you must tell us. The à la carte menu is reasonably priced. The view across to Montgó from the (muzak-free) terrace is sensational. Delightful. 96 579 1813 / 629 828438 / [email protected] Restaurante MASENA  (Jávea) : Go to the end of Cami Cabanes road (behind Barclays) and immediately left onto the Benitachell (Golf Club) road. A beautifully appointed (Belgian-owned) very high-class restaurant with great style.  Menu- del-dia €18 (but €20 on Sundays).   Good meat a speciality, notably their Châteaubriand and steak cooked on hot stone. They are always busy so must book!  Excellent wine list
