FISH - JÁVEA & Denia (from Euros 25.00 per head) :   Restaurante AMARRE 152  (Jávea) : literally “Mooring 152”, tranquil situation by the bobbing boats at the very head of the mooring creek that goes inland from the Parador. Menus del dia €20 (fish). Excellent for rice/fish dishes.  A recent visit showed them on good form. : 96 579.0629 / f. Monday http://www. verema.com/restaurantes/36008- amarre-152-xabia-javea AMARRE TAPAS : along the Jávea seafront nearly opposite La Siesta. Reports are still not encouraging. This is in no way up to the same standard as their excellent restaurant (above). Service was over-familiar and the muzak atrocious (drowning out the sound of the sea; we were told the screaming female gave “ambiance” – my foot !). For music-hating tourists only. AND ANOTHER TIP for FISH & CHIPS: For excellent FISH & CHIPS try THE INN on the GREEN (Bowling Club on the Jávea - Benitachell road) !! Restaurante LA CALETA : Avda. Ultramar 114, Jávea (Cala Blanca).  Excellent, but simple, fish etc. On the rocks at the southern end of Jávea bay with just the noise of the sea (unpolluted by muzak !). (open May - late Sept). 96 647 1337 Restaurante LA CANTINA DE JAVEA : Situate right in front of the fishing fleet parking area in Jávea’s port (on the ground floor right around the back (left side) of the one storey building by the fishing boats). Clientele is very Spanish. Occasionally the best Patatas Bravas in Jávea ! Often very busy so go early (say 12:30h). Very good prices. Fish menus consist of the catches of the day. They are serving all day long (and usually even after the cinema). Muzak free - but not TV free. 96 579 2190 / open tlj : 7/7.
