La Marina, Arenal
- On the banks of the canal
Port de la Fontana. Tel: 96 579 0629 |

This is a restaurant
suitable for a
special occasion
where you can dress up if
you want. Discreet atmosphere with white tablecloths, so ideal for your first
date of a holiday romance or that special anniversary.
Service: Staff are friendly and prepared to go that extra mile, they made a special vegetarian dish for me that was not on the menu, and which was excellent. Review by Magpie |
Open In the evenings
but not sure of the hours. In summer, booking would be
advisable.
Cuisine is Spanish, but in the modern style associated with better restaurants in the bigger cities. |

Main Javea - Gata road. | ||
| This place is a jewel of a restaurant! The Gata/Javea version of a typical sunday, family lunch is to be had here. Everything (and I mean everything) is cooked on a wood fire. Mostly vine cuttings (they give such a great flavour) are used plus some almond wood, orange wood and carob for good measure. They start cooking the meat in the morning and by lunch time you don't need a knife to cut it! |
Open
- About mid-day 'til night. Didn't check but go by and
reserve
, 'cos there'll be a lot of spanish families there.
Specialities: Just about everything is special. Go for the set meal and eat what they put in front of you. This is rural food 'par excellence'. |

Smallish bar/restaurant with a small 2-level terrace facing onto Javea's gravel
beach.
Slightly different menu items and in the winter a
good home-cooked Menu del dia.
Service: Good, friendly, easy to get to know ... Learn Spanish! Quite a local crowd sometimes. Good evening environment here. A place to snack or eat or just have a beer or glass of very pleasant wine. |
Open
- Not sure, I never asked! Lunch times through to late evening I've eaten there.
Specialities: Spanish 'typical' home cooked Menu del Dia or order from the 'carta'. All fresh! Sit on the terrace with a salad! Nice. |

I ate here a short while ago with my daughter and we were both VERY impressed.
O.K, I'm no expert, but everything seemed to be good. The decor is a change from the norm and very good, the service is excellent and the food is delicious, to look at and eat.. Through hardwood framed windows you have a view of the gardens and the children's play area, further on the chickens and geese! Lovely. José, the governor, is very proud of the wine list and is hoping to mount important wine tastings here later in the year. The 'chef de autor' sure seems to know how to cook, and you can watch him too, if you wish. In short, for a special night out, this restaurant must be high on the list of options. |
Open
- I must get into the habit of asking opening hours. I guess normal evening
hours. Bear in mind the spanish eat later, around 9:30 - 10:00 is a good hour
in summer.
Specialities: Excellent wine. Childrens swings, etc, in nice gardens. Sweets are scrumptious! Make sure the credit card is full ;+) Worth a visit. |

In the old town, take the road at the bottom of the hill, by the roundabout,
that leads to the market square. Then take the first right and continue almost
to the end.

Smallish bar/restaurant with an excellent selection of wines. Becoming popular
with the older Brits living in Javea.
Service: Good, friendly, young staff, eager to please and serve with style! This is actually a 'vinacoteca', that is, a wine bar, so you could always visit to share a bottle or two of wine with friends. |
Open
- Normal restaurant hours. Maybe a good idea to book.
Specialities: Good cooking at very reasonable prices. The set menu, with good wine, is very impressive with a price that will amaze you |
