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 gluten free clients . The restaurant offers daily menus and also daily suggestions including kids ’ menus . The menu even includes a superb fish soup without shellfish and they have potted shrimps ! There is a fine selection of French cheeses and wines and to my especial delight the wonderful wine list offered a red Sancerre ( chilled , of course ) and the wonderful , delicious Menetou- Salon from near Bourges in the upper
