Montgó residents. Superb meat is
their speciality. Visited recently.

RE-VISITED: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 PIZZERIA PEPA
(Jávea: Arenal beach front, nr.
middle). Spanish; excellent value,
swift service. Pizza takeaway.
VERY efficient, popular with good
atmosphere; muzak low; must
book ! Menu-del-día €16. The best
quick-service “family” restaurant
at the beach. But beware when
ordering water : bottle arrived at
the table opened and was charged
at €2.90 - both unacceptable.
