AMANECER: c.300m on the right, along the ridge of the headland to Cabo San Antonio (off the summit of the Jávea-Denia mountain road. The fire got rather close!). What a surprise to find this restaurant so wonderfully refurbished with a shaded poolside bar & eating area, comfortable pool-side furniture and, within, an elegant air-conditioned dining room. During their recent visit the Southampton Uni Symphony Orch. spent the whole afternoon here. All spoke very highly of how well they’d been looked after. If you don’t have a pool here is a place to have lunch and spend the afternoon (with the grandchildren?). The dining area is large enough for social functions yet still acceptable for more intimate dining. Menu-del-dia €11. Easy parking. A good addition to the list.
