Javea Grapevine Issue 179 - LARGE FONT EDITION | Page 89

AMARRE TAPAS : along the Jávea seafront nearly opposite La Siesta. New reports reaching us have not been and we now know that this is not up to the same standard as their excellent restaurant (above). Service was over-familiar and the muzak atrocious (we were told the screaming female gave “ambieance” – my foot !). For tourists. AND A RECENT TIP : For an excellent FISH & CHIPS try THE INN on the GREEN (Bowling Club on the Jávea - Benitachell road) !! Restaurante LA CALETA : Avda.Ultramar 114, Jávea (Cala Blanca).  Excellent, but simple, fish etc. on the rocks with just the noise of the sea (unpolluted by muzak !). Careful what you order – this isn’t as cheap as it appears ! Closes end Sept. for the winter. Restaurante LA CANTINA DE JAVEA : Situate right in front of the fishing fleet in Jávea’s port (on the ground floor right around the back (left side) of the one storey building by the fishing boats). Clientele is very Spanish. Best Patatas Bravas in Jávea ! They are often very busy so you must go early (say 12:30h). Very good prices. Their fish menus consist of the catches of the day. They are serving all day long (and usually even after the cinema). Tel: 96 579 2190 / open tlj : 7/7. Restaurante COVA del MERO, beach road north of Denia : Magnificent fish restaurant on the beach.  From Denia harbour take coast road northwards through Las Marinas to the 5km stone, turn right at traffic light (modern sculpture on far left corner), drive to beach, turn left.  Menu del dia €23.  Their speciality is Llandeta – their (unique?) and very famous, and most delicious, “wet” white fish dish with potato (to be booked in advance). We have taken groups totalling over 200 people to eat this dish without a single dissenter. NOT TO BE MISSED. Must book.  96 578.4864 /  open 7/7.
