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).
Service was over-familiar and 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) !!
CHANGE OF LOCATION - BEST
FISH of the region
Restaurante LES BRETONNES
BEACH : Has now moved (early June)
from opposite the La Senieta Theatre
to this lovely spot overlooking the sea
in Cala de l’Andrago (off, left, at the
1st small roundabout southward on
the Moraira-Calpe road). We were
overwhelmed by the new experience
- the superb food, the beauty of the
décor and the charming reception (in
both English & French). They are
already provoking favourable reports.
Must book at weekends. Four of us
enjoyed a truly excellent meal.
This new opening establishes
Les Bretonnes as the No.1 fish
establishment for many miles around
(perhaps it was already ?).
Their range of fish, especially of wild
fish, lobsters (from Brittany) including
“thermidor” and “l’armoricaine”
and oysters (including the famous
Gillardeau number 1 !), is quite
astonishing.
Also on offer are
scallops, cabillaud/cod, lubina,
dorada and many other sorts of fish
and fruits de mer – the range is huge.
Guests must first choose their meal.
It is then transferred to the kitchens
for preparation. They also serve
meat or duck confit, or steak tartare.
They look after veggies and even
