BENISSA :   Restaurante CASA CANTO (Benissa) : The No.1 restaurant in Benissa and very highly regarded (on left, in last block of the town, going southwards to Calpe).  Comfortable, traditional and with panoramic views of Calpe and its coastal region. Lunched there on a Monday in May (restaurant very busy). Excellent flavours in a menu-del-dia at €25 (incl. wine). Tel : 96 573.0629/ f. Sun  http://www. casacanto.com/ info@casacanto. com   Restaurante PEDRAMALA : Carretera La Fustera, 03720 Benissa. Run by Bernard this is regarded as the best restaurant in the Benissa area. Booking essential. Report received from I.F. : “Generous portions, always nicely presented and well prepared in line with the guest’s wishes and with a fresh salad as part of the course.  Prices might be somewhat higher than the average but quality, quantity and presentation easily make up it.  We never take the menu-del-dia anywhere and normally pay around €60 for two courses and a bottle of wine”. To one’s great relief, there is no muzak! 96 574 8315 / f.Monday; lunches not served in summer.  http:// www.restaurantepedramala.com/ 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 good form.  Tel : 96 579.0629 / f.
