Restaurante EVEREST SPICE (Costa Nova):   Another Nepalese restaurant with charming décor. Situate at the top of road up from Saladar to Costa Nova Panorama just after the hairpin bend and over the top on the left on the road towards La Guardia and Granadella. Pleasant atmosphere & beautiful gardens (the awful imitation lawn/carpet is still there !!). We had good reports and have now attended a very successful group lunch involving a wide range of excellent dishes - but be warned the menu-del-dia on an earlier occasion was dull and dry. Considerate and friendly service. Take-away service is available. Low muzak - but wouldn’t a sitar be better! 96 577.0230 / [email protected] THAILAND Restaurante PAD THAI : Same family as own Buddah Palace (who have moved across the road into the old Shanghai opp. Humpty). A new addition for Arenal. If this family can be trusted then this, too, will be a good experience but, for the moment, it is too early to judge. My Nasi Goreng (Indonesian!!) was not up to the usual standard of this owner. We are not yet convinced. Further reports welcome, 96 577 9824 / 602 834351 padthaijavea@gmail / 7/7 CHINESE Restaurante < The WOK BUFFET > : Jávea (On roundabout opp. the CAIXA Bank (formerly Barclays). Recently re-furbished. Very good for families and with an extensive choice of shellfish included in their super- bargain price. Eat all you like for €11.95 (€6.95 for kids under 7). Go early (12:30h for lunch, 19:30h for dinner) when the huge spread is at its best. Attentive service. No muzak. A bit of a “canteen” ambience but this is a high quality “fill-up” if you are hungry and/or are feeding hordes of kids. 96 579.7016 / daily 12-24h.
