This award confirms that this most
important gastronomic investment
in Jávea has been recognised by
the professionals and – as we have
said before - really puts Jávea “on
the gastro-map” completing the
triangle of world-class restaurants
formed by Quique Dacosta (Denia)
and Casa Pepa (Ondara). All
reports, especially from serious
gastronauts,
are
consistently
full of praise. Look out for their
Azpilicueta (Rioja), Crianza 2009
– a delight. Booking strongly
recommended.
Menus are

Restaurante
CASA
PEPA
(Ondara) : With a Michelin star,
this is the writer’s other favourite
restaurant. Its rise, over the last 18
years to its current Michelin status,
is a labour of love and hard work.
Marvellous 7-course gastronomic
menu c. €70 (or, with appropriate
wines served with each course,
€100). The (lunchtime?) menudel-dia is a staggering €40 without
drinks (€65 with appropriate
wines served with each course)
making for excellent value indeed.
Exceptional wine list. Beautiful
garden terrace in the orange
groves. Take exit to Benidoleig/
Beniarbeig from N332, pass
under AP7 motorway then 400m
signposted, to the left, < Casa
Pepa - Restaurant >). Always a
treat. Classed at 8½ out of 10 in
Spanish Gastronomía Guide. Tel:

MORAIRA : Restaurante LE
DAUPHIN (Moraira – overlooking
the beach at Portet); Superb
Belgian restaurant with beautiful
terrace & sea view; this clearly
merits a Michelin star but it is said
that the owner is not interested in
such accolades (indeed it features
not in the guide !). Menus from €60.
