VERY TOP OF THE CLASS
for all true Gastronauts !
JÁVEA : Restaurante BONAMB
Now an established part of the international
gastro-scene in Jávea with its Michelin star
– a place that has delighted many. But
have you been yet ? Situated on the
Tarraula roundabout at the end
of 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
truly the best cuisine in Jávea.
This award confirms that this most
important gastronomic investment
in Jávea has been recognised by
the professionals and – as we have
said before - really puts Jávea “on
the gastro-map” completing the
triangle of world-class restaurants
formed by Quique Dacosta (Denia)
and Casa Pepa (Ondara). All
reports, especially from serious
gastronauts, are consistently full of
praise. Look out for their Azpilicueta
(Rioja), Crianza 2009 – a delight.
Booking strongly recommended.
Menus are Emma at €40 (4 dishes
without wine, weekdays only)

Restaurante
CASA
PEPA
(Ondara): With a Michelin star,
this is the writer’s other favourite
restaurant. Its rise, over the last 18
years to its current Michelin status,
is a labour of love and hard work.
Marvellous 7-course gastronomic
menu c. €70 (or, with appropriate
wines served with each course,
€100). The (lunchtime?) menudel-dia is a staggering €40 without
drinks (€65 with appropriate
wines served with each course)
making for excellent value indeed.
Exceptional wine list. Beautiful
garden terrace in the orange groves.
Take exit to Benidoleig/Beniarbeig
from N332, pass under AP7
motorway then 400m signposted,
to the left. Always a treat.

MORAIRA:
Restaurante
LE
DAUPHIN (Moraira – overlooking
the beach at Portet); Superb
Belgian restaurant with beautiful
terrace & sea view; this clearly
merits a Michelin star but it is said
that the owner is not interested in
such accolades (indeed it features
not in the guide !). Menus > €60.
