REMINDERS
Don ’ t forget the Lebanese pitta bread now on sale at Consum ( Jávea Arenal - it may be in other Consums ?). Their PASTRAMI has been withdrawn , shameful !
Lebanese TAHINI - along with Syrian tahini - are the only two tahinis of any gastronomic value ; the rest are all rubbish . The Lebanese product is available from the International store close to the old Deutsche Bank at Arenal ( Jávea ) - opp . Humpty Dumpty .
PORRIDGE OATS : For those who may be missing the wonderful IRISH porridge < FLAVAHAN ’ S > - formerly from the late Costa Blanca Supermarket - this is now available at Xe-Remigo ( the “ always-open ” little supermarket on the roundabout nearest to the Jávea Parador ). We know of no better porridge anywhere in the area .
“ COCAS ” : In over 25 years we have found nothing better than the cocas & tomato empanadillas at the Mas-y-Mas of Benitachell .

[ but .... we have been appalled to learn that LIDL in Benissa have introduced viral muzak into their store ! And one should now avoid ALDI - they just started this abomination - and the copyright dues are added to your bill !!]
THE VERY TOP OF THE CLASS - for all true
Gastronauts ! Rte BONAMB **
EDITOR ’ s NOTE : We recently enjoyed the SALIS menu at this prestigious restaurant and I have no hesitation in saying that it was one of the 5 greatest “ gastronomic entertainments ” of my life ( which began at the *** Pyramide ( Vienne , France ) in the summer of 1965 ) and has included very many Michelin-starred restaurants since . The creativity and the range of extraordinary flavours make this a place that nobody should miss !! Situated on the Tarraula roundabout at the end of Camí Cabanes and the beginning of the Benitachell / Golf Club road , BonAmb offers a sophisticated and comfortable interior and beautifully laid out gardens and terraces and , it must be said , the finest cuisine in Jávea . Opened in July 2011 it has since been rewarded with TWO Michelin stars and , in November 2014 , 3 “ suns ” of the Spanish counterpart - the Guía Repsol .
