RESTAURANT of the MONTH EL CAMPO Restaurante EL CAMPO : On the right side (of the approaching left- handed bend) on the Benitachell road after the Jávea Bowling Club. This restaurant (empty for over 12 years) has now been subjected to a truly superb and thorough refurbishment providing a beautiful rural atmosphere with excellent parking. We wrote about this significant re-opening last month - and at the last minute - so we now have to praise them more openly for their charming service and excellent food! The small amuse-guele, of a baby burger, was of a very high gastronomic order - bravo ! This was followed by a filet de boeuf (rare) with a sensational red < Rebel-lia from the Vegalfaro Estate (Requena) at €16 > (available from Casa del Vino at Arenal) and frites worthy of Belgium !! Their particular speciality is barbecued meat of all kinds. Menu- del-dia (midday) Tue-Fri from 1pm €12 (choice of 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 desserts). Weekend menu €18 (3 starters, 3 mains and 2 desserts). We spent a delightful evening there served very professionally and with great charm by owner Kate and staff. Every (summer) Sunday live music from 18:30h with BBQ food available (burgers & ribs). f. Mon. Open 11:00h - late (kitchen 13-16h then 19-22:30h). 96 113 4466 [email protected] VARIOUS NEW WEB LINKS Where to go for an inexpensive Michelin-star meal Take a look at El Pais’s guide to 9 award-winning restaurants that are fit for all tastes, preferences & budgets https://elpais.com/ elpais/2018/05/30/ inenglish/1527672497_484386. html
