Restaurante CHALET-SUIZO : Jesús Pobre road nr. Almendros. Swiss restaurant offering wonderful meat and fondues. Our visits have been marvellous, up there with the best of Jávea’s eating establishments. The garden is beautiful (no-muzak), the service excellent and the food delicious.  Prices of main courses cover the whole menu (excl. pudding).  Just look at the number of cars outside - should tell you all.  Clearly you MUST book ! Tel: 96 579 6813 / f.

Away from the Arenal beach they now flourish and are admired amongst residents & serious eaters.  Very popular - booking essential !  For summer there is a large (but no longer “mostly” muzak-free) covered area in the garden. Warning: They have occasional jazz evenings during spring/summer and a Jazz Lunch on Wednesdays. Menu-del- día €17 (changes every Thursday). Ask to go on their mailing list. 96 628.9686 / f. Sunday p.m. & Monday  /  [email protected]  Restaurante at the JÁVEA GOLF CLUB : A “Gastro” Golf Club ?! Formerly one of Jávea’s best kept secrets ? But why ? Do golfers not eat ? But whatever….. please forget the golf and come here to eat !!! This establishment is under the management of the former chef & manager of El Rodat – José Manuel Pina - and we have now visited it several times. The menu-del-dias are at €14 & €18. The latter is truly astonishing and if this isn’t, for a single example, the most wonderful Gazpacho of all time then you must write and tell us. The view across to Montgó from the (muzak-free) terrace is sensational. All delightful. And we just drank a Buezo (red) from 2004 (Burgos) - the finest wine I have tasted in 10 years (c.€23 a bottle). Tel: 96 579 1813 : Mob. 629 828438 / [email protected]
