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
