fresh haddock, skate, cabillaud/
cod, lubina, dorada, oysters, potted
shrimps, tarama (French – excellent
but stronger than the UK version) and
many other sorts of fish and fruits de
mer – the range is huge). Guests must
first choose their meal in the shop. It
is then transferred to the kitchens for
preparation. They also serve meat
and look after veggies!! The wine
list is the most astonishing we have
seen anywhere – especially of French
wines – because they are at amazing
prices (same at retail as at the table
– a Pouilly Fuissé at €14). They tell
us they are starting to open on some
evenings. Best arrange a driver to
take you home. Booking is essential
as, no surprise, it is full most of
the time!! 678 488895 / MIDDAY
ONLY (f. Sunday p.m. & Monday
otherwise open 10:00 - 18:00h. The
kitchen closes 16:00h). Times etc. to
be confirmed. www.lesfouges.com
Restaurante MENA : Wonderful
position situate right on the rocks at
the end of the Las Rotas road (go over
Jávea / Montgó road to Denia and turn
hard right at bottom roundabout). It
was toxically xenophobic, expensive
and with bad muzak….. but we
hear it’s under new management so
certainly worth a try…. or drive on a
little further and there's another good
restaurant on the right. 96 578.0943 / f.

Restaurante PISCIS : C/Marjeleta
10, Moraira : off the palm-tree'd
avenue towards sea, turning off on
left and a few mins. from main car
park). Recent comments received
indicate that this is still one of the
finest creative haute cuisine fish
restaurants of the region. No menu
del día. 96 649.0616 / f. Sunday

Restaurante
SUR
(at
GRANADELLA BEACH): ...at the
beautiful Granadella creek (down
off the Cabo de la Nao and the No.1
beach of the Marina Alta); certainly
the best fish restaurant in Jávea (they
own their own boat and sometimes
have an extraordinary variety !).
Our absolute favourite for fish and a
beautiful location. Sensational puds
Highly rated (7½/10) in Spain's
Gastronomía Guide. Best to book.

At CALPE's (fishing) HARBOUR
The harbour at CALPE is a great
place (sic) for fish ! Any restaurant
will entice you in with marvellous
displays of fresh fish. There is
nothing like this anywhere else we
know of (except Dubai !). Strongly
recommended.
