Restaurante MASENA  (Jávea) Go to the end of Cami Cabanes road (behind La Caixa Bank) and immediately left onto the Benitachell (Golf Club) road. A beautifully appointed (Belgian-owned) very high-class restaurant with great style.  Menu-del-dia €22.50 (slightly more on Sundays).   Good meat a speciality, notably their Châteaubriand and steak cooked on hot stone. They are always busy .... so must book!  Excellent wine list and consequently not as cheap as it once was ... ! Muzak always turned down on request.  Here you will find Valentin, the best Mâitre D’ in Jávea.

Muzak now (mostly) tamed !   The Menu-del- día is one of the best, cost/quality, that we know (currently Euros 14.50h with a glass of wine - but available on  Thursday lunch only).  From Oct.2nd there is introduced, nightly, an evening dinner at €23.50 incl. glass of wine etc... High standards pervade all their dishes and the restaurant is beautifully appointed. Easy parking. Tel: 96 646.2903 / Open 19:00 - 22:30h / f. Sun/Mon Restaurante TOSCA : Arenal beach, on the bridge overlooking the creek and close to Jávea Parador. Creative cooking. Approx. €35.00. Very excellent Menu-del-día c. €18.95.   Muzak here can be irritating (they say they play it to cover the noise from the kitchen !) - they also turned it off. BYO is a good idea but
