But their Chapata is unmatched. OTHER BAKERIES : SALADAR SUPERMARKET and also visit “Le Parisien” coffee bar (next to Jávea’s Deutsche Bank that was !). Less delicious patisseries than previously.   Restaurante AZORIN :  Jávea Port (in street behind Napoli). Superb fish “a la plancha” (especially sole) /chicken & chips. Menu del dia €10.95. For over 20 years one of the most popular family restaurants. Kids love it. 96 579 4495 / closed Saturdays. Restaurante BACCHUS (Jávea) : Pinosol-Cansalades road. Wonderful quality. The delightful owners, Milena & Hector, have retained the charm of this restaurant AND you are still able to cook your excellent steak on stone (or have their Fondue). Must book (just look at the cars outside !). Menus-del-día from €23.  96 647.3096 / Sunday lunch & weekday evenings only/ f. Mon.  / restbacchus@infocostablanca. com / www.infocostablanca.com/ bacchus/ Restaurante CALA BANDIDA : Esplanada del Puerto (Jávea). Up the steps to their superb terrace where you can sit and hear the sound of the sea just below. Sadly, listening inwards into the restaurant, this delightful and natural sound is obliterated by dreadful thumping muzak. This covers the whole exterior terrace and can be heard also over 40m from the restaurant thus ruining the whole delight of a seaside eating experience! That said both the service and the food is often described as excellent
