THE VERY TOP OF THE CLASS - for all true Gastronauts !   Restaurante BONAMB ** :  RESTAURANT NOW HAS A SECOND MICHELIN STAR.    Alberto was rewarded by “La Academia Valenciana de Gastronomía” with the title “Best Valencian chef in 2015” and on the 27th of November, the Government of Aragón rewarded him “Mejor Cocinero de Aragón del año 2016- 2017”. Situated on the Tarraula roundabout at the end of Camí Cabanes and the beginning of the Benitachell/Golf Club road, BonAmb offers a sophisticated and comfortable interior and beautifully laid out gardens and terraces and, it must be said, the finest cuisine in Jávea. Opened in July 2011 it has since been rewarded with TWO Michelin stars and, in November 2014, 2 “suns” of the Spanish counterpart - the Guía Repsol. This establishment has put Jávea firmly “on the gastro-map” completing the triangle of world- class restaurants formed by Rodat with excellent parking. We wrote recently about this significant re-opening where we praised them 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 13:00h at €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).Tel: 96 113 4466 / [email protected]
