and
More
as the best selection of French
cheeses you’ve seen anywhere in
Spain (incl. the divine Boursault)
…. and a marvellous range of
delicious pâtisseries, tartelettes &
gâteaux, patés, terrines, French
tinned/bottled specialities and
French bread.
In a separate room are 6 tanks of
lobsters!
Also on offer are scallops, fresh
haddock, skate, cabillaud/cod,
lubina, dorada, oysters, potted
shrimps, tarama (French –
excellent but stronger than the UK
version) and many other sorts of
fish and fruits de mer – the range
is huge).
Sometimes they have whole
kippers (often out of stock –
Attention, Frank, s’il vous plaît !).
Reports are reaching us of poor
service and being occasionally
under strain.
Guests must first choose their meal
in the shop. It is then transferred
to the kitchens for preparation.
They also serve meat and look
after veggies !! The wine list is
the most astonishing we have
seen anywhere – especially of
French wines – because they are
at amazing prices (same at retail
as at the table – a Pouilly Fuissé
at €14).
They tell us they are starting to
open on some evenings.
Best arrange a driver to take you
home.
Booking is essential as, no surprise,
it is full most of the time !!
Tel: 678 488895 / f. Sunday p.m.
& Monday otherwise open 10:00 18:00h

Restaurante MENA : Wonderful
position 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). It was
expensive with bad muzak. It also
used to be xenophobic but we hear
it’s under new management so
certainly worth a try…. or drive on
a little further and there’s another
good restaurant on the right. 96

Restaurante PISCIS : C/Marjeleta
10, Moraira : off the palm-tree’d
avenue towards sea, turning off on
left and a few mins. from main car
park). Recent comments received
indicate that this is still one of the
finest creative haute cuisine fish
restaurants of the region. No menu
