Restaurante MENA :  Wonderful position situate right on the rocks at the end of the Las Rotas road (go over Jávea / Montgó road to Denia and turn hard right at bottom roundabout).  Big improvements here and now no muzak….. Excellent fish ... so definitely worth a visit… Best to book as busy at lunchtime. 96 578.0943 / f. evenings  / [email protected] http://mena.restaurantesok. com/aquiok/detallrest. jsp?id=547&prov=Alicante ...or drive on a little further and there’s another good restaurant (Ca Nano: 96 643 0905) right at the end on the right.  Rte SUR (at GRANADELLA BEACH): ...at the beautiful Granadella creek (down off the Cabo de la Nao and the No.1 beach of the Marina Alta); certainly the best fish restaurant in Jávea (they own their own boat and sometimes have an extraordinary variety !).  Our absolute favourite for fish and a beautiful location.  Sensational puds !  Highly rated (7½/10) in Spain’s Gastronomía Guide.  Best to book.
