Restaurante
EL
GAUCHO

RE-VISITED
:
Restaurante
LUNGO MARE (Jávea, Arenal
beach front) : Italian restaurant
– appetizingly large portions (some
can be shared !). No muzak (bravo
!) and friendly service. Often
fairly full so perhaps better
to book. Every aspect of this
restaurant has improved, over our
last visit, and we now recommend
it again ! 96 647.1196 / open daily

Restaurante MEZQUIDA : Main
road from Jávea old town towards
Arenal, on right side, just before
the SuperCor/Iceland roundabout
but after Sol-Mar offices. Pleasant
terrace and good ambience.
Very popular Spanish ‘family’
restaurant. Serves the best Arroz
negro (a delicious rice and squid
dish) that we know of. Superb
meat. Mostly muzak-free. Menudel-día €18. 96 579.3620 / open

Restaurante MONTGÓ : 2-3kms
along Jávea-Jesús Pobre road (on
left, with large stone tablet outside).
Amazing choice/ value/ quantity/
quality & well presented. Excellent
fish ‘n’ chips (with Azorin in the
puerto). Menu-del-día €11.50.
We remind readers of the slightly
more up-market ALMENDROS
restaurant (slow service) on the
opposite side of the road and for
which there have, quite recently,
been some good reports.

quick-service “family” restaurant
at the beach. But beware when
