CLOUDS 5 Calle Pio X, Puerto de Javea. Tel: 96 579 5461/5463
The food has improved considerably lately, which is just as well, as it is worth visiting just for the spectacular views of the whole bay of Javea from this pleasant restaurant, perched on the top of Hotel Javea, with windows on all sides and a glass roof that completely opens up. Go to Javea port which is situated in the eastern corner of Javea bay and you will see the Hotel Javea poking out on top.

EL NEGRESCO C/Nantes, Cartra Cabo La Nao - Javea. Tel: 96 646 0552
Well away from the bustle of the front-line in Javea. This very stylish, Michelin recommended, restaurant looks run-down from the outside and ostentatious inside but looks can be deceptive! The waiters are friendly and attentive and the food is very good indeed with an interesting procedure of keeping one half of your main course warm on a hot tray whilst serving you the first half. Take the road from Benitachell to Javea beach (a mile after Benitachell and turn right with the sign for L'Scala to your right), and turn right on the second set of traffic lights and the restaurant is set back to the right.
GOTA DEL MAR Crta Cabo La Nao 531, Cap Marti, Javea. Tel 96 577 1648
Set in a large private villa, they have tables outside around the pool and it is popular with locals. A good value four course menu including wine. Take the road from Benitachell to Javea beach (a mile after Benitachell and turn right with the sign for L'Scala to your right), but turn right for Cabo La Nao at the second t-junction, and the restaurant is to the right.
LA ESTRELLA Avenida de l'Arenal, Javea. Tel 96 579 0802
A consistently good French restaurant in Javea with friendly, efficient service from the two couples who run it and provide food that is spot on and reasonably priced. The whole restaurant has a French feel to it with pastel decor and large windows that open onto the street, and tables on the pavement. Seasonal specials and desserts especially good. Found on one of the street off the Javea beach area where the restaurants front the walkway.
LA MASIA DE LA SAL Avda. Mediterrani 182, Javea Tel: 96 579 5876

LA RUSTICA Camino Cabanos, Javea. Tel: 96 577 0855
Well cooked and presented Belgian food, in an old 'rustic' villa which is popular and is best to book in advance. Take the road from Benitachell to Javea beach (a mile after Benitachell and turn right with the sign for L'Scala to your right), and when you arrive to the first t-junction turn left and the restaurant is about 50 yards to the left.

Very good large bustling French restaurant on the main promenade of restaurants on Javea beach. Looks touristy but they serve good food at reasonable prices, considering its position. Seafood a speciality. Not cheap.
MASENA Crta Benitachell-Javea, 96 579 3764.
More formal than Meson de Paco above (found on the same road), similarly popular, and serves good food, in a beautiful Hacienda style setting with plenty of outside tables. They even have an enclosed play area. No children’s menu but they are happy for you to share or make a half portion. Well worth a visit at lunch as menu del dia available at approx 14 euros. Full nearly every night of the week Booking essential. Not cheap.

Fishes, seafood and rices are here combined with the orchard products, making possible some really exquisite dishes, like paella with duck and red peppers, or paella with vegetables of the season. Citrus fruits (oranges, tangerines) are exceptional here too.

TABERNA LOS HERMANOS Playa Arenal, Javea
Very easy to find as it is opposite the Parador in Javea which is well signposted. This is a typical Spanish tapas bar that, although being near the beach, still serves reasonably priced food for the locals and is pleasant to look at. The menu is in Spanish but the family are very friendly and helpful and you can point to the tapas display on the counter and you can also order freshly cooked fish dishes.
VILLA MEDITERRANEA
Lovely restaurant specializing in French-Basque cuisine with Mediterranean touches. |
