Up the steps to their superb terrace where you can sit and hear the sound of the sea just below. Sadly, listening inwards into the restaurant, this delightful and natural sound is obliterated by dreadful thumping muzak. Restaurante BACCHUS (Jávea) : Pinosol-Cansalades road. Wonderful quality. The delightful owners, Milena & Hector, have retained the charm of this restaurant AND you are still able to cook your excellent steak on stone (or have their Fondue). Must book (just look at the cars outside This covers the whole exterior terrace and can be heard also over 40m from the restaurant thus ruining the whole delight of a seaside eating experience! That said both the service and the food is often described as excellent - although environment was noisy (music lovers stay away).Tel: 96 579 1064 : E-mail : restaurante@ calabandida.com / Web: www. calabandida.com
