ARENAL BEACH BREAKFASTS / COFFEE BARS & BAKERIES : BREAKFASTS at Jávea’s Arenal beach. For those looking for a breakfast of some quality on the sea front – especially what is known as a “Full English”. We previously recommend the old Champagne Bar (now refurbished and with a new name ?) - AND not forgetting the Parador buffet especially on Sundays (an enormous spread at €18) ? CAFETERIA LE PARISIEN (Horno y pasteleria artesanal - home made) : Next to Deutsche Bank (and opposite Humpty Dumpty & Chez Angel) at Jávea’s Arenal shopping area. There is now a TRASPASO sign outside suggesting possible closure ? A pity, if true. We have been impressed with the quality of the savouries and and sweetmeats here that recently we awarded them the Restaurant of the Month. Cocas and almond tarts are outstanding as well as delicious French apple tarts. All made with great care and pride on the premises Muzak quieter than previously. Chairs / tables on pavement. 96 579 3462 / Mob: 638 339898 / E-mail: elparisienjavea@hotmail. com We frequently request their almond tarts - but to no avail !!!! Please keep asking ...... Bar/Restaurante LAS OLAS : on the Cabo de la Nao road, on the right, half way between CAIXA BANK (formerly Barclays) & the Ferreteria PLA48. Recent visits have shown that their standards are regularly good again.... a visitor reported a superb Osso Bucco ....(a new chef, perhaps ?). Recently we enjoyed an excellent paella. The mass of cars parked outside tells us something (this is a “brickie” bar, but a good one !). Awful TV noise - best sit outside. Comments welcome, please.
