LEBANESE restaurante : BEIRUT KING : Paseo de la Alameda 50. Gastronauts will be pleased to learn that this excellent little Lebanese restaurant has moved further down the road quite close to the Corte Ingles roundabout (on the opp. side to the opera house). Enjoy properly made hommos (not the poor UK supermarket product !), mtabel (aka babaghanoush), tabbouleh, falafel and lamb sharwama as well as the delicious fatoush (salad).  Open 7/7 (+ takeaway service).

Lunched there on a Monday in May (restaurant very busy). Excellent flavours in a menu-del-dia at €25 (incl. wine). Tel : [phone]/ f. Sun  http://www.casacanto.com/ info@ casacanto.com   Restaurante PEDRAMALA : Carretera La Fustera, 03720 Benissa. Run by Bernard this is regarded as the best restaurant in the Benissa area. Booking essential. Report received from I.F. : “Generous portions, always nicely presented and well prepared in line with the guest’s wishes and with a fresh salad as part of the course.  Prices might be somewhat higher than the average but quality, quantity and presentation easily make up it.  We never take the menu-del-dia anywhere and normally pay around €60 for two courses and a bottle of wine”. To one’s great relief, there is no muzak ! Tel: [phone] / f.Monday; lunches not served in summer.  http://www.restaurantepedramala.com/ Last October the partner Christian (German of Italian and Greek parents) descended to the coastline has opened up as KOSTA on the Moraira Calpe coast road near Les Fouges. See sep. entry for Kosta. FISH - JÁVEA & Denia (from Euros 25.00 per head)   Restaurante AMARRE 152  (Jávea) : literally “Mooring 152”, tranquil situation by the bobbing boats at the very head of the mooring creek that goes inland from the Parador. Menus del dia €18 & 20 (fish). Excellent for rice/fish dishes.  A recent visit showed them on top form.  Tel : [phone] / f. Monday http://www.verema.com/restaurantes/36008amarre-152-xabia-javea
