Javea Grapevine Issue 180 - LARGE FONT EDITION | Page 90

CHINESE
Restaurante < The WOK BUFFET > : Jávea, at the CAIXA (formerly
Barclays) roundabout. Very good for families and now with an extensive
choice of shellfish included in their bargain price. Eat all you like for
€10.95 (€5.95 for kids under 7). Go earl y (12:30h for lunch, 19:30h
for dinner) when the huge spread is at its best. Attentive service. No
muzak. A bit of a “canteen” ambience but this is a high quality “fill-up” if
you are hungry and feeding hordes of kids. 96 579.7016 / daily 12-24h.
IMPORTANT FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENT Bar/Restaurante LAS
OLAS : (Cabo de la Nao road, on the right, between CAIXA BANK
and the Ferreteria PLA48). We found it necessary to withdraw this bar
following complaints but we have received reports that the problems are
solved ….. (a new chef, perhaps ?) and the mass of cars parked outside
tells us something ! We hope they have sorted out the problem ?? Will
keep under observation. PREVIOUSLY WE HAD WRITTEN : A huge
range of really good, copious tapas far cheaper than the Arenal beach
front !  The size of the portions means this is perhaps 50% of the cost of
the beach establishments ?  Be careful how much you order - you may
not be able to finish.  Ideal for hungry kids !  Clean tables, good service,
bi-lingual menu. TV inside but mostly quiet outside. Tel:  [phone] 
FISH - JÁVEA (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 : 96
579.0629 / f. Monday http://www.verema.com/restaurantes/36008amarre-152-xabia-javea
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) !!
