The 12 best lounges in Javea

The views are stunning. Food and service top notch. They have the best hummus I have ever had.

Great family run place since 1965 in Xàbia, Alicante. Menu of the day with a choice of starters, main and desert or coffee for 22 euros is excellent valued for money. Big portions and fresh seafood. I had Mediterranean Salad, Swordfish and Cortado! Highly recommend

Stopped here for breakfast with a few pals. Beautiful views across Javea beach. Breakfast order was taken and arrived in good time. It was delicious. I would definitely will pop back again!

Very expensive and not worth it. Service was lackluster and despite our request (and plenty of free tables - which remained empty during our visit) we were seated inside. Paella had barely any meat. Will not visit again for food ❌

I used to really love this place, but I feel like it has changed quite a lot. The portions seem so small, like half the size what they used to be. My family likes to eat starters and share everything. We needed way to many too actually get full (and we are not big eaters) and not for a cheap price. This was not like this on previous years. Overall, quite disappointing that this is how it is now; the food is truly delicious but the relationship price/quality is not worth it :(

Very welcoming, we arrived with no reservation on a busy lunchtime and they were couldn’t be more accommodating Food was very nice not exceptional but then again the prices were reasonable. It’s a fabulous location. The views are outstanding and I would thoroughly recommend it.

Today was my wife’s birthday celebration, we booked off the back of the reviews, unfortunately we were quite disappointed. The various courses came out at vastly different times, everything was disjointed, the food was ok but not worth the prices. It was supposed to be an amazing experience but really didn’t deliver. I had a little moan and received a bottle of Cava on the house but really that didn’t compensate of what should have been a very special evening. I think the price should represent the service and it absolutely didn’t. I would think wisely before paying premium prices for mediocre service. Very disappointed! Sadly!

Absolutely Incredible Experience! This place is an absolute gem right in the heart of the Arenal (beach promenade). The location couldn’t be more central, making it a perfect spot to meet up with friends or start a night out. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was electric—great vibes, fantastic music, and a warm, welcoming energy that makes you want to stay all night. The food was delicious, the drinks were top-notch (seriously, some of the best cocktails I’ve had in a while), and the service was spot-on. The staff are super friendly, efficient, and clearly love what they do. But what really set this place apart was the manager. He left such a lasting impression—genuinely one of the most welcoming, attentive, and personable people I’ve ever come across in hospitality. He made everyone feel like VIPs, and you can tell he’s fully on top of everything happening in the venue. Can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend!

A Must-Visit in Arenal! Amazing spot right on the beach with great vibes. We danced to some salsa music while waiting for our food and drinking some Sangria. Delicious food with a choice for everyone in the family; from curry to burger to Paella. Will go back!

Great pizza with a view – Chabada, Jávea I had the pepperoni pizza, and it pleasantly surprised me – slightly spicy and full of flavor. I really enjoyed it. I also had a mojito, which was very tasty as well. The whole experience was topped off with a beautiful view of the beach and relaxing background music. A great spot to unwind and enjoy good food.

Great place, lovely location with a wide menu. Team are really friendly and food arrives quickly. Brunch was great, well worth a visit.

Fabulous Food This was a great find for us and we all enjoyed eating here. I personally had the paella and it was great. The view was perfect & the fact we were able to eat on the terrasse was also super.

We went here for lunch yesterday 26/09/25 having a lovely day on Arenal Beach. What can I say the food was absolutely gorgeous. The waiters were very quick asking what drinks you would like. They left you to peruse the menu at your leisure. We ordered a Chabada salad, calamari Roma & patas bravas. We had 2 pints of Heineken. The food come out about 20 mins after ordering and the portion sizes were excellent. The staff checked on us to see if everything was ok which it was. The bill came to e41 euros. Wow. We definitely will be going again. It was extremely busy one of the busiest on the front so that tells you something about how popular it is.

Fab seafront restaurant in centre of beach. Prime position but reasonable prices- no wonder it was packed. Lunch for two - €25 and great food. Didn't include drinks as I was driving but quality. Nice friendly atmosphere and great service. What more could one want and only 50m from my sunbed!

Very tasty food with beautiful presentation. The ambiance is perfect, though it’s a bit on the expensive side — but definitely worth it!

Great place for dinner with friends. We really enjoyed the variety of options that this restaurant offers. The food is delicious and very high quality. The service is fantastic and very welcoming. The decoration is very fresh, chic and casual so you feel in a great atmosphere tv. We highly recommend this place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Location - Great Service - Amazing Food - Delicious From the minute we arrived the staff took great care of us, seating us at a nice table (we had booked in advance). Service was prompt and friendly, and the food! One of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. Highly recommend, we will be back.

amazing top draw, great food and drink and service

I've had the pleasure of dining at Carnaval twice. The first time, I ordered a vegan poke bowl with tofu. The bowl was fantastic, with fresh ingredients, though I found the two accompanying sauces less appealing. On my second visit, I tried their breakfast options. The cashew butter toast was outstanding, and the avocado toast was also delicious. Additionally, the freshly pressed juices were excellent. However, I must mention that the prices are quite high. Personally, I am willing to pay more for high-quality, fresh food, but this is something each person has to decide for themselves. Overall, Carnaval offers great food, but be prepared for the higher cost.

Interesting fusion of Asian and other cuisines

Great food and a wonderful service! The speciality was the Dragon Sushi. The music was a little bit louder than desired.

Best place for great food and drinks at arenal beach in Javea ! Atmosphere is comfy and lax. Great seating in big fat leather sofas and seats around numerous fireplaces, which would make dining in the winter great as well. Excellent service, food and prices are reasonable as well. Highly recommended!

Been visiting almost three years and always a nice vibe particularly for Sport viewing. Ryan in particular worth a mention. Nice guy and so helpful.

Amazing place, good food, drinks included in breakfast coffee and orange juice. Highly recommend

I tried the pastrami nyc toastie and it really was tasty it had lots of pastrami and the provolone cheese complemented it well. It’s just a shame it doesn’t come with anything. The service was a bit slow but the servers were nice and it was a cool place to chill as we had to stay for about 3 hours

I’m becoming a regular, I enjoy the avocado breakfast. A great place to get reasonably priced good food. A varied selection on the menu, and the service is good.

Just had bbq ribs which were amazing ! Wife had chicken salad equally amazing ! Very reasonable prices too. Best restaurant for families on the Arenal

Looks lovely had a big table got all of us. Decorated well. Service started off well with lovely waitress with another coming to help with my poor Spanish. All went well. Food was really good. We all enjoyed what we ordered. Then for some reason had a different waiter and he was extremely rude and very arrogant to the point where it ruined our experience. He didn't come over to us even when making eye contact, hoovered hot food over our little one heads and gave wine and beer near little hands. So also just not aware. Luckily food was good and was enjoyed by all. Then two waitresses had a heated discussion. This is the second visit here our first one we walked out on poor service. But as family members joined us they wanted to try. We won't be back such a shame we use to like coming here

This is the second time i went to this Restaurant and it is still amazing. The poke bowl that i ordered was amazing. Great taste! The service was a little slow but in my opinion its understandable since it had a lot of people. The ambience was.. i wouldn’t say alright. The music was quite loud and it was difficult to understand others well or hold conversations. Overall, i still recommend this restaurant!

Good bar on front at Arenal. Location over looking beach and drinks great with happy Hour until 7pm. Music very good while people watching. I returned later in summer and Great atmosphere. Much busier and staff always friendly. Good service and enjoyable environment.

AVOID!!!!! First visit perfect, great service and honest pricing at Happy Hour. Second visit, service fine but when the bill arrived we were ripped off by the older guy in glasses on the smoking animal head kids cocktails. They scammed my family €15 per drink when the previous visit the same juice was only €6 each. We questioned this but totally dismissed by the guy in glasses. I would avoid at all costs as they clearly have an agenda to rip of tourists in here!! Avoid

Great place to eat delicious Sushi in an awesome display! Desserts are also magnificent, tasty and well presented. Finally, staff is lovely and polite. Well recommended overall.

Staff are fabulous, quick seating, drinks came very quickly, cocktail a bit longer to arrive but not longer than expected. Waiting staff were prompt and friendly. No mistakes on the order. Food excellent, so much so that we returned several times during our stay. Great priced beer at €2.50 a pint of carlsberg. Happy hour 12pm until 7pm. Salmon Teriyaki was awesome, vegetarians will be pleased that veggie burgers are Beyond Burgers, one of the best veggie burgers available. Table for four with drinks was €120. Fantastic value at Fanatical Xabia.

Lots of choice of food, including a large sushi menu , drink prices for wine and beer were very cheap when compared to neighbouring places. Decor was tasteful and elegant in a great spot along the busy promenade. Service was quick and friendly. Sushi was fresh and steaks were fairly cheap but of great quality! One thing I would just say is that the wagyu is a great price but does not come with anything and it’s maybe not the cut you would expect , it comes in thin strips to be cooked on a hot stone. This is not describe on the menu or by staff , just a heads up !

Another excellent Javea sea front eatery. Great service. Specialises in cocktails with a huge cocktail menu. Food was very good. The poke bowl was particularly good. Definitely recommended.

We had a fantastic lunch at Posidonia in Jávea! The grilled scallops were perfect, the oxtail croquettes crunchy and soft, the goat cheese salad fresh and flavorful, and the monkfish paella absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the cozy, relaxed atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Fantastic service, stunning food! We turned up without a booking and they managed to accommodate our group of 7 including two children, which was much appreciated as it was prime busy time, but we got one of the last available tables so I’d recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment. Well worth the visit and we will be back again! Gracias!

Fantastic beach restaurant. I came here on a hot summer evening and it’s exactly the kind of place you want by the sea – big, open, buzzing with people, but still relaxed. The menu is very Spanish, not the tourist “paella + sangría” trap you get in a lot of coastal towns. We had arroz a banda and grilled sepia – both spot on, rice cooked just right, with that proper depth of flavor you only get when the stock is made the right way. Starters were simple but good – tomatoes actually taste like tomatoes here, and the alioli had a proper kick. Service is friendly and casual, which fits the place, though don’t come here if you’re in a rush – it’s more about long lunches or late dinners with wine flowing. Price is fair for the quality and the location right in front of the port. If you’re in Xàbia in summer and actually want to eat the food locals would order, Posidonia is worth it.

Exceptional from start to finish. I can honestly say I’ve never experienced service like this, warm, attentive, and genuinely above and beyond. The food… next level! The paella was rich and perfectly cooked, the steak was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the daiquiris were hands down the best I’ve ever had. Every bite and every sip was a 10/10 — no exaggeration.

Excellent food, such a lovely place and attending staff. Absolutely nothing to moan about it ;)

Excellent !! Friendly service, great food and atmosphere. Our 3rd visit and consistently good breakfast. Thank you Sergio for your attentive service and photography skills and your colleague the singer and comedian . We will see you next year 😀

Pretty good food but a little pricey & feel like there’s better in Alicante for less.

I wish I didn’t have lunch here. A near spoiled fish served at beach (most likely spent months in the freezer). Poor service as well. The waitress did her best but the experience was bad. You won’t expect to find a place of this poor quality in Xàbia.

They served me an old fish, all brown and smelly. When I complained the manager was very professional and I just finally paid what I consumed. However, it’s sad that in such a wonderful location they don’t serve fresh food!

Was there for a friends pre wedding drinks reception the night before. Fantastic setting and great service with drinks and canapés. Definitely go back when next visiting.

The worst service possible! We sad down at a free table at the terrace with no sign on it. The waitress first asked what we would like to drink or eat and after that she said; One moment please. 3 minutes later a guy comes to us and said that the table was reserved for paella dinner. We only could sit in a spot in the shadow and no other table was offered to us even there was plenty of space at the terrace! What a terrible service at Montgo di Bongo! Arrogant people there. Than the bigger La Siesta is much better and friendly to clients. No recommendation to go to Montgo di Bongo.

Just such a lovely place to watch the sunrise, chill or have a meal/snack during the day or evening. The views are to die for.

Have to be honest and say we normally go to the Siesta Bar on arrival and then rarely visit again in the weeks we are here. BUT hold on, went next door today, sat at a table on the beach and enjoyed a lovely relaxed lunch, you need to be patient with the service when busy, if you don't have your order off pack when you arrive there can be a little challenge getting your order in but having said that....just relax and enjoy..... The first visit to Montgo Di Bongo a few years back we had a couple of G&Ts woooo yum. Do visit, recommended....

Just had a couple of pleasant juces. Well made and delicious. Friendly service and pleasant atmosphere

What a pretty Sangria... and delicious too!! We had some tapas and a toastie... both were tasty!! High chairs (no low ones) but they were comfortable enough. Lots of locals here... obviously popular!!

José was incredible gave really good wine tecommendations ! Price it’s super fair , really worth trying :)

Great food , well worth a visit in the old town of Javea. Lots of food and drink choice, Bar Mercat is particularly good

Amazing quality food and wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Love this place. Buy fresh produce from the market and the bar will cook it on the plancha for €2.50 per person. Amazing! Thursday is market day so it can be really busy during the Summer. Any other day it’s filled with locals enjoying tapas. There’s also a really good wine list and juice bar 😁

The go-to place for typical Spanish food.

Delicious tapas and breakfast set, great service, family-run business.

NegroniWhispers 👉🏻🍹 We’re a couple who specialize in cocktails — we travel from city to city, staying for about a month in each place, trying as many cocktail bars as we can. Before we leave, we always post a review of the standout spots… or the ones that disappointed. Sadly, this one falls into the second category. Both of their locations have the same core issue: surface-level flash, zero real soul. The drinks look good on social media, but they don’t live up to the price or the presentation. And behind the bar? A revolving door. Staff come and go so fast, it’s honestly hard to keep track of who’s working. Puesto 7, in particular, is rough — understaffed constantly, and the tension is obvious. You can feel that no one’s supported here. The environment is clearly draining. There is one guy — wears glasses, actually makes decent drinks, friendly — but it’s hard to take him seriously when he’s constantly brown-nosing the owner. It’s a weird dynamic that spills into the customer experience. He trauma-dumps way too much and turns a simple drink order into something awkward. We’ve seen this kind of setup before — an owner more concerned with image than quality, and it always ends the same way: good staff leave, vibes go stale, and the drinks stop evolving. The only consistent thing? The glasses. Cute, sure. But you can’t drink glassware.

Both food & service are absolutely amazing - the owners Kelly & Iain are super attentive, friendly and chatty (fluent in Spanish & English). Great addition to the indoor market! 🖤😍

Really tasty food and friendly service at this cute and stylish venue in the old Mercado. We tried the quesadillas and the veggie burger, both delicious. They also do a good cocktail and gin range.

Every time i have visited it has been a fantastic experience. I love the idea of modern cocktail bar inside the traditional market square! You need to try the Sangrias! As they say in spanish: Un Diez!

What a Find!!! We saw this online but were not sure what to expect. We love the market food vibe but this place has a terrace outside and we spent a lovely evening chatting to other diners and enjoying the amazing food. The food was super fresh and creative. The wine was superb. Service was really attentive and friendly. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We stumbled accidently upon Puesto 7 while wandering around the old town and we were happy we did. Friendly service, much needed, ice cold drinks and delicious tapas. The highlight were the pizza style flatbreads topped with their homemade pulled pork, cheese and BBQ sauce, we also had the cheese and leek and will return next time to work our way through the menu!

Absolutely amazing best service good vibes extraordinary cocktails.

Brilliant decoration, atmosphere and the staff are so nice! Food was great and it was lovely to have breakfast with sea views! In the evening the place is all lit up with fairy lights which makes it very magical. My favourite place in javea for sure

Very friendly staff, positive atmosphere, ideal place to watch football ⚽️

Here are the facts......ordered 2 small beers (around 5.30pm) that were delivered 3/4 full. Didn't really think anything of it (Brit...weights & measures & all that!!!). Moments later, same beer delivered to a Spanish gentleman on the next table full to the top. Go figure

Amazing bar, brilliant music, a great atmosphere and chilled out barmen, lovely way to spend an afternoon with a drink looking out to sea

Decent pizza. Friendly service. Spectacular views!

Nice place for a drink, good music, very kind bartender, we had a really good time after a beautyful day🌞🏖

Lovely place! The garden out the back is such a good place to get sun in Javea port in the evening. Would definitely recommend over other places in the port. Go round the back to get the evening sun in the garden. Loads of tables so good for big groups too. The staff are so friendly and the service is great.

What a gem! Location, tunes, atmosphere, quality of food all amazing. Brioche steak tartar a must try and my fussy eating son loved his hamburger.

The best cocktails in Javea, really well made and excellent service from friendly staff

Love it here. Right on the beach one side the other where the boats and jet skies leave from . Lovely views either side. Good staff, good drinks som nice food and chilled music. Defo worth a visit or more!

We loved everything about this place! The food was delicious, the best we are in Javea and we were here for 4 weeks, slightly more than you'd normally pay but significantly better quality and taste. Friendly service and perfect relaxed location next to the river and beach. Highly recommended.

Good tapas, good views, good service. 5/5

We had a lovely lunch wit our complete Spaanse Droomhuizen / Dream Properties team. Super location and good food and service!

The place is nearly empty, there are at least five people working up front, a couple in the back, and it’s taken 15 minutes waiting (after ordering) for our first drink and 25 minutes for our second drink. A shame because it is a decent location but the service is miserable.

10 stars. 100 stars out of 5! This cocktail bar is seriously not your average. Don’t come here trying to be cheap and get a regular drink by a bartender who’s kinda happy to be there. DO come to this bar if you want to have a mixology experience, with owners who actually care about the ingredients, about the chemistry, about the flavor balance, and originality of all they serve you. Want to impress your date? Your business partners? Your old enemy? Bring them here! The atmosphere is warm and posh but not pretentious. The music is great, the staff is great, I could go on and on! But don’t just sit there drooling… go check it out!

We visited Aya Huma Cocktail Bar in Jávea as a group of four and had a fantastic experience. The cocktails were excellent – beautifully made and full of flavor. We were also impressed by the selection of non-alcoholic options, which were just as creative and delicious. The atmosphere was relaxed and stylish, perfect for enjoying drinks with friends. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, and they made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Highly recommended if you're looking for a quality cocktail bar in Jávea with great service and something for everyone on the menu!

Absolutely beautiful place. Fabulous service. Wonderful staff. Very attentive. Even brought out a stand to hang our bags! Clean and classy. Great niche cocktail menu. This place is very passionate about their craft. I can highly recommend. Beautiful location on the main street in Xabia. We will definitely be back here. A1. X

Went there after dinner and we were immediately welcomed. The wait staff are lovely - attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The cocktails were unique and delicious. It's not a cheap cocktail bar by any means but for the quality and attention to detail it is well worth it.

Really nice spot and delicious cocktails, and the service was amazing! We were seen and heard and felt welcomed.

Great time! Drinks were delicious, lots of alcohol and alcohol-free options, at a reasonable price and the staff were lovely. Would go again!

What a find ... Fantastic Cocktails and the staff are very attentive
