Rte LA TAGLIATELLA: Jávea, Arenal beach front (close to Lungo Mare). Light and elegant decoration ! We still wait to hear that their service has improved. High-ish prices so that Lungo Mare remain ahead of this establishment. 96 647.2984 / www.latagliatella.es / 7/7 Restaurante TULA : Very close to Arenal main car park, Jávea (opp. entrance to Mas-y-Mas). The menu looks adventurous and the prices reasonable on top of which we have had 3 very positive reports. We hope their website will become more clear. Reports welcome, please. 96 647 1745 / f. Sun pm & Mon. E-mail: info@ tularestaurante.com ARENAL BEACH BREAKFASTS / COFFEE BARS & BAKERIES : BREAKFASTS at Jávea’s Arenal beach: For those looking for a breakfast of some quality on the sea front – especially what is known as a “Full English”. We previously recommended the old Champagne Bar (now refurbished and with a new name ?) - not forgetting the Parador buffet especially on Sundays (an enormous spread at €18) ? CAFETERIA LE PARISIEN (Horno y pasteleria artesanal) : Opposite Humpty Dumpty at Jávea’s Arenal shopping area. Reports tell us there are far less delicious patisseries and sweetmeats than before. Muzak quieter than previously. Chairs / tables on pavement. 96 579 3462 / 638 339898 / [email protected] Under new management : quality reported as slipping . Bar/Rte LAS OLAS : on the Cabo de la Nao road, on the right, half way between CAIXA BANK (formerly Barclays) & the Ferreteria PLA48. Recent visits have shown that their standards are regularly good again.... a visitor reported a superb Osso Bucco ....(a new chef, perhaps ?). Recently we enjoyed an excellent paella. The mass of cars parked outside tells us something (this is a “brickie” bar, but a good one !). Awful TV noise - best sit outside. Comments welcome, please.
