Restaurante EL GAUCHO (formerly Las Brisias on the Jesús Pobre road). This restaurant has gained many plaudits under the management of the excellent Pizzeria Pepa (at Arenal) and offers an especially worthwhile and attractive restaurant (& terrace) especially for the residents of Montgó. Superb meat is their speciality. Visited recently. Marvellous AVAN (Duero) at €18. Attentive & very friendly service. Food delicious. Best to book Tel: [phone] / www.pizzeriapepa.com Restaurante at the JAVEA GOLF CLUB : A “Gastro” Golf Club ?! Formerly on of Jávea’s best kept secret ? But why ? Do golfers not eat ? Please forget the golf and come here to eat !!! This establishment is under the management of the former chef & manager of El Rodat – José Manuel Pina - and we have now visited it several times. The menu-deldia at €18 is truly astonishing and if this isn’t, for a single example, the most wonderful Gazpacho of all time then you must write and tell us. The à la carte menu is reasonably priced. The view across to Montgó from the (muzak-free) terrace is sensational. Tel: [phone] : Mob. [phone] / [email protected] Restaurante NESFOR : Cta.
