IN A CLASS OF THEIR OWN (from €35+ per head) Restaurante LA BOHÈME (Jávea, Arenal beach front) : This restaurant is now regarded as the best of the French styled/owned restaurants on the Arenal beach front (Los Remos de la Nao & La Perla are two others).   Fine tapas, superb steaks. Menu del dia €16.95. Consistently excellent reports throughout the summer but comments say this is an expensive place (revealed, perhaps, by the excellent refurbishment).  Parador end of Arenal promenade.  96 579.1600 / open daily / Muzak tolerable.  http://www.javeacompany.com/ javeacompany/boheme/index.html Restaurante CHALET-SUIZO : Jesús Pobre road nr. Almendros. Swiss restaurant offering wonderful meat and fondues. Our visits have been marvellous, up there with the best of Jávea’s eating establishments. The garden is beautiful (no-muzak), the service excellent and the food delicious.  Prices of main courses cover the whole menu (excl. pudding).  Just look at the number of cars outside - should tell you all.  Clearly you MUST book ! 96 579
