The 20 best shawarma spots in Javea

Absolutely exceptional experience. We popped past on the off chance and managed to get a table for 2. The service was fantastic, the ambiance seated outdoors was lovely and the food...wow the food! Every dish was an event and by far the best food we have had so far in a year of living in Spain. The fact this gem is only 5 mins from our door insurers we will be back again. 5 stars is not enough. I was enjoying it so much I forgot to take pictures but the deserts had to be snapped.

Yes, you should get the chateaubriand 👍 and the rodaballo is exquisite. Everything was impressive, perhaps with the exception of the gambas al ajillo — four small red prawns doesn't quite do the dish's name justice. Flavor was nice, just not enough to justify the 19€ price tag.

Dear Owner of La Masena. I think you are confusing my party with other clients. We arrived at 7.30 not 7.00. The waiter seated us and we then had to ask 3 times for a menu. The waiter took orders for 2 drinks and wandered off. When he came back with 2 drinks - for a party of 5! - we had to ask for wine which eventually arrived. During the meal service was slow and we had to ask 2 different waiters for the bill and then wait a further 10 minutes for someone to find your card reader. Despite that we left a tip. At no time did anyone explain that you were short staffed. One of my favourite restaurants, but yesterday the service was terrible. We got seated and then ignored for at least 25 minutes before we had a drink and the menu. Throughout the evening it did not get any better. Ignored by the waiter who was supposed to be looking after our table. I had to ask for attention continuously even when asking for the bill. It was a shame Valentino was not there as it would have not happened. Will not be back for some time...

Literally everything was really excellent. The food, the ambience, the people who were so happy in their work, and very accommodating to all of our party of 6 people. Our first time, and we will definitely be back. Thank you all for a wonderful lunch today.

Great restaurant. The Chateaubriand was the best I have ever tasted, the meat was high quality, fresh; the roasted potatoes are so well cooked, they feel very soft in the middle yet with the right consistency outside. The salad was delicious, as well as, the roasted veggies. Definitely a must go place for good meat. There are not many in Jávea so make sure you come here!!

If you are looking for a cozy and highscale place to enjoy food, then Masena would be your choice. Set in tranquil surroundings away from the beach, Masena offers fabolous food and good service. It's recommended to make your reservations as this place gets busy. The terrace is shaded and a comfortable place to sit, while the inside looks spectacular. In my opinion, you should try the cheesecake. Masena have a style of their own, and it is by far the best I have ever had.

Nice food, the carpaccio and duck foue was delicious! We had fish for the lunch and it was really good. It's a lovely and beautiful place to spend some good time. The staff is wonderful, very nice and fun. Unfortunately we reserved a table outside (as I said it's a beautiful place) and it was a very hot day, that's the only thing I can say we didn't enjoyed.

New ownership, and homing in on a different cuisine: Yemma style! A nice terrass and parking around, but also a lovely decor inside! I think this restaurant is a welcome addition to Javea: for those who want to eat fish or Meat in a different way, the vegetarians, those who are open to a different cuisine, and those who are supportive of local initiative to be an entrepreneur.. i like!

Lovely place ,friendly owner ,the chef is fabulous the food is excellent

We have enjoyed lunch and dinner at this family run restsurant many times. The quality of the food is superb and the flavours delicious. Service is friendly. We'll continue to support this restaurant that kept welcoming us through the last few years. Keep up the great work 💕

Excellent food with so much flavour, much better then the standard restaurants on the sea front.

Menu is exciting and very wide ranging, food quality is also excellent, service is very friendly. The fish tacos were superb and the thai bream cooked to perfection. Good ambience. We've been here a number of times and on each occasion the food has been memorable. Very good value for money.

Fabulous restaurant great team work lovely staff & yes the food is the star of the show …..5 stars actually! Using Delicious fresh ingredients the menu is put together to produce a taste sensation! Good wine list & all at a reasonable price

Not sure how this restaurant has so much good reviews. The food was a bit mediocre. The dorada was awful and tasted like old fish. The rice in the prawn curry was dry and half cooked. Almost no salt in the food and very little taste. Everything that has fish or seafood on the menu is not fresh even though the place is in a coastal town with abundant fresh fish… but instead they use imported prawns from Asia. Probably because they are much cheaper. In general it’s very disappointing. Very amateurish and I don’t even think they have a qualified chef because everything looked and tasted like a bad attempt of cooking at home. I’m putting 2 stars because the service is good and the owners are friendly. The food is not so much better than McDonald’s.

We went on a quiet night at the start of the week so got a table easily. Service was perfect. I had Lamb 2 ways: charred grilled loin and its skirt Wellington-style with crushed artichoke and avocado, which was lovely. To follow our friend recommended Torrija (home made french toast, with raisins and ice cream), so all three of us had that. I've eaten many delicious desserts and lots of lovely french toast, but that was delicious - just mentioning it makes me want it again now 😊

Great place with nice interior, fresh food with unusual combination of flavours, outstanding service. We didn’t ask the name of our waiter, we only know that he is from Venezuela. Hats off for the perfect welcome 🤗

Service could be quicker but the food is incredible. I enjoyed every dish. Nice interior design of the restaurant. The second floor tables between the windows are pretty at daytime for a nice lunch. They have both a la carte as well as a tasting menu.

Fantastic, good value set menu for lunch. We’re happy to change one of the courses we didn’t fancy. Excellent friendly service in both English and Spanish. Good wines at reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Great place to try high quality dishes, made from local ingredients. Great lunch menu offer, not to be missed. Best to make a reservation upfront. Most delicious mushrooms soup I’ve tried.

We had a lovely lunch, took the lunch menu which is unbeatable value for money. Delicious food and very attentive service. Will definitely come back!

The most expensive right staurznt we did around javea, not having checked the prices before seating... It is not bad but it fo isn't worth the price... And we were still hungry leaving that place... So be aware...

As a local, I’ve tried a lot of restaurants in town and this was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had. The lobster rice was incredible — rich, full of flavour and cooked perfectly. Our waiter Osama was fantastic, super friendly and really knowledgeable about the menu, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for authentic Spanish food in Jávea, this place is a must — especially for the lobster rice! 🦞

Great dinner here tonight. We went all Spanish - gazpacho, carpaccio of beef, paella mixte, créma catalan and a Spanish pastry dessert Pina colada and sangria drinks. We were even given a mis en bouche of a little jar of soup which was delicious. All food was delicious, well seasoned and lots of it. The staff were attentive and amusing too. We will be back as soon as possible and can’t recommend La Fontana highly enough. And it was very busy considering it’s midweek.

Really enjoyed La Fontana during our stay in Xabia. The location on the port is great, just by the promenade and right next to the statue of tennis star David Ferrer which is a nice touch. Food was excellent – I had the seafood paella and it was one of the best I’ve tried in Spain, rice cooked just right. Service was friendly if a bit slow at times, but honestly worth the wait. Prices are fair for the quality and the view. Would definitely come back again.

First time customer. We found a lovely place in the sun and food was excellent. Our waitress Teresa charming and fast. Wine was good too. Very happy customer. Oh and , Glas of wine €3.60. Amazing.

Food was tasty but more cold than warm. I had to ask for salt as no condiments were offered. He seemed like he could not care less. Never asked if everything was OK with my meal. Never got offered a desert or asked if I wanted one. I'm very disappointed. I have come back to this review as that same evening I had the most awful food poisoning. I believe it was the meat that caused this and I was violently sick over 10 times throughout the night and early morning. I do believe the meat was reheated and then left to get cooler again and this may have been the cause. My friend and I ate and drank the same all day apart from the evening meal when I ate on my own.

The food was fantastic and the best we’ve had in the region - fresh and with flavor. But the service lacks care and personality. It was adequate service and nothing more. Unfortunately the British and expat clientele in the region have significantly lowered the standard at the Spanish coastal. This is a tourist town and it seems there is little incentive to deliver good service if there will not be repeat customers.

Visited this mid-way through our holiday (August 2024) as reviews looked good and lots mentioned good service. We had a great 1st visit there (I had fish with mussels - pictured) and it was great. Service was very good and very friendly/attentive staff (more so than any other restaurant we visited) - so much so we returned for our final meal of the holiday and again were not disappointed. Sea bass (pictured) was lovely. We had a table right on the promenade each time which made both visits even nicer. Would highly recommend. Book ahead as it can get very busy.

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.

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!

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.

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!

We have stopped in here two times in the last month or so. The food is wonderful. Add to that the very pleasant staff and great feeling of the place. This should be a top pick for place simply enjoy a fine meal. I highly recommend the meal of the day. We have tried four different main dishes, and they have all been fantastic!

This was the star of our trip to javea. The servers were really nice and cracking up jokes, all our orders were correct and they were always around to help us. The starters I had were some of the best I’ve had. I’d recommend the prawn croquettes and the patatas bravas were insane. The bread sharer was tasty, and my main I went for the lamb shoulder, it was huge and fell right off the bone. I had a bite of the mixed paella too and I think next time I’d go for that one. The restaurant itself is in a really nice location too and we were able to sit on the terraza. Additionally, the music playing was perfect volume and perfect songs

Food was good (lamb shoulder pictured) but I had asked if it needed anything else to go with it (e.g. a side dish) and was told this would be plenty. The lamb was accompanied by 1 small piece of pepper and 1 small piece of potato, which was not enough to go with the meat. Tasted great, just portion/quantities could be improved we all felt. August 2024.

We were looking for a place to enjoy paella and ended up at Casa Grau Bistró, and we definitely didn’t regret it. As a starter to share we chose the patatas bravas, which were absolutely delicious, honestly the best I’ve ever had! The paella was also full of flavor and really tasty. The restaurant is located in a charming little street with a terrace, and inside it’s just as cozy and welcoming. A lovely spot to enjoy authentic Spanish food!

Nice place to have a lunch with friends or family, I spent a nice time in there with a delicious paella 🥘

Really wonderful food - four of us ate and every course was utterly delicious. Very friendly and responsive service from all the staff who are also good-humoured. We have eaten in A LOT of places in and around Xàbia and like the finer side of things - give this place a whirl as I am fairly sure you will be very happy with it. Say ´Hi´ to Dani - he is super friendly.

Really enjoyed this place. We had fillet steak and sea bass - both excellent. Service was helpful and friendly. The only thing they could improve is to have table cloths and nice place mats rather than plastic tables with ugly paper mats.

We came across this restaurant on a visit to Javea port. A lovely location right by the sea - we ate outside and our table directly overlooked the sea, and there were great views to the Montgó. Service was very good. We thoroughly enjoyed our menú del día lunch - the food was tasty, plentiful and great value for money. We don't hesitate to recommend and will visit again.

Great meal, service and atmosphere. And generous portions.

Heading for a different place when I saw the Calima restaurant menu. Only wanted a tapas style meal. Ended up having a lovely Thai style samosa with yellow curry sauce "tapas," Then a superb mango cheesecake with red fruit sauce and a carajilo . Friendly service, excellent presentation, all the other food served to other tables looked superb. Stunning seafront location Only closes for a short time in January. Limited number of tables in and out. Booking recommended. I will be back soon.

We came due to the great ratings. We were disappointed, we ordered a paella for 2 and carpaccio, to finish we had cheesecake. The dessert dis not have a cheesecake taste, the bottom layer was moist and not crispy at all. The paella was ok but I would recommend adding duck instead of pork, the pork brings down the quality of the dish. I didn’t feel it very tasty, not sure if they used water as opposed to stock to cook the rice through. The carpaccio was good and the product quality too.

Loved this restaurant- our food was delicious and it’s a great place to spend an evening!

Everything about this restaurant is amazing. The food! We had dorada, chicken skewers and a hamburger then ice cream and brownies. We phoned ahead (speaking spanish but I'm sure their english is excellent) otherwise you would have to visit in person at least a day before. Beautiful view of the sea and staff were so delightful. Can't wait to come back. This is exactly how a restaurant should be run! Brilliant

Calima is a marvel of a restaurant. The cuisine has an international touch without losing the regional identity. Frequented by locals and foreigners alike their quality and service resonates well. The Chef is an artist from the Basque region, the team super motivated and friendly, the menu has a wide choice of amazing offers. Best of all: Calima´s pricing is absolutely fair. Calima is right by the sea in the port area of Javea - fantastic location. We like it since a decade and have never been disappointed.

This restaurant is a game of 2 halves, the atmosphere is great and the setting is good. Unfortunately the main part of this review has to be how disappointing everything else was. The portion size is small and the flavour is not there too be honest. The service was not great, upon asking for a drink to be corrected as they did it wrong we were made to feel like it was our fault that they made the mistake. Please consider other restaurants in the area as you will pay less and receive a much better service and food quality. I can only unfortunately say that this is overated by the people who own it and think that they are doing an amazing job and serve spectacular food but the truth is far from this. Could do a lot better!!!

Lovely restaurant, I would book in advance. Very busy evening on a Tuesday! Luckily they had room for us outside which is a beautiful part of the place. The food was sensational and all handmade. We had 3 courses and all were delicious. Service was great and the servers were happy and friendly, they didn't laugh at my attempts in Spanish too. Highly recommend! 👌

Had dinner here on a Tuesday night. We didn’t have a reservation, but they still managed to find us a table—super friendly staff. If you’re coming in high season, though, better book ahead. We kicked things off with a cheese platter and shared the pasta and steak. Honestly, the steak was spot on: perfectly medium rare, maybe the best I’ve had in Spain. Don’t skip the pistachio helado—just €3, and it’s an actual dessert, not just a scoop of ice cream. If you’re into wine, grab the Poppone bottle! 5/5 stars.

Maybe my palate is not sufficiently sophisticated to appreciate the subtle difference in texture and flavour between fresh and dried pasta, or maybe there is something that is not special enough to interest me; something more ordinary and bland. Don't get me wrong, the restaurant is nice enough; There is a lovely, large, covered outside dining area at the back; and the service was quick, polite and attentive. It's just the food; There is nothing wrong or unpleasant about it. It was nice. I was just left with the impression that I could make a pretty good stab at something similar at about a quarter of the price. Don't be put off by my experience; if you love pasta, you will love this place. It's just that my taste buds were asking me the serious question about why I didn't eat in the restaurant next door

What a great find! Worth the little detour away from the centre of town - Wonderfully attentive staff, delicious dishes & very well priced! We had 3 wines, 1 starter, 2 mains & 2 desserts for €53. Highly recommend & will definitely return!

Delicious Italian food in a relaxed setting. One of the best Italian restaurants we have been to. This is a family favourite whenever we are in Javea. The starters are huge but delicious , the mains are a good size but not huge like the starters. Friendly staff and reasonably priced , out of season it is even better value. During high season you will definitely need to book as it is always busy.

We were a party of four for lunch on a hot day. The covered outside area was inviting with fans and AC. Service was friendly and efficient. All our meals were super, a notch above the average Italian menu. Beer was cold. Ample parking. Zero negatives. To be repeated.

Located in a small street in the old town of Javea. Very very friendly woman who helped us, service with a smile. Food is nice, some typical Spanish dishes (always good) and some new things. Price quality is good, we will come back

Nice place for dinner at the heart of Javea. Good service, we came without reservation and were able to get a table. The tapas are good, I liked the combination of flavours and they are a bit different from what you find elsewhere. A couple of suggestions to enhance the great base they have in the dishes: the melon with duck, please add more duck, 1 piece does mot do the trick as the flavour of the melon is very strong. On the aubergine with cheese, I would suggest to add a stronger cheese like blue cheese to make a better contrast of flavours (if this is the case, maybe put more ratio) also add more salt, it was a bit blend in my opinion and yes…we asked for salt. The sardines were tasty! Same here, add more figs! I loved the fact that you can choose your favourite bread and the aliolis/butter selection was delicious! Great experience overall, just a few tweaks to make it even better!

Stumbled upon Embruix when visiting Javea. Stopped in gor lunch and had their specials menu. Lovely venue, great service, beautiful food. Highly recommend 👌

We really enjoyed the food, but the service from Victoria and Angela was what made this restaurant better than many others in the area. We had our 94 year old grandmother with us and they spoke to her, spoke slowly and clearly and kept asking that she, as well as the rest of us, were ok. Many other restaurants ignore her but they were very caring and attentive. Food was delicious. We had bread, melon & jamon, aubergine, octopus & pancetta, patatas bravas and oxtail croquettes. Sadly we had started eating before I remembered to take photos! We also drank the house rosé from Teulada which was delicious. Thank you Victoria and Angela

A good restaurant in the town of javea. We ordered a salad, octopus, cod tempurized, teriyaki chicken and sea bream. The Salad was great: 4/5 Octopus: 4/5 Cod tempurized: 4/5 Teriyaki chicken: 3/5 Sea bream: 3/5 The bathrooms were really clean. The worst thing was the heat, we asked for turning it cooler but they did not.

A chic place In the historical center of the Jabia, next to the museum of archaeologists with the perfect combination of hospitality and haute cuisine. As a bonus, the most perfect served and decorated in Jabia. Freshly baked bread, great meat and dessert. Recommended. Special thanks to the waiter girl Angela.

Absolutely brilliant restaurant. Staff was lovely and the restaurant is beautiful although we sat outside at the front of the restaurant. There doesn't seem to be much outdoors seating, unless there is more in the back of the restaurant but luckily we went early and found some space outside. The tapas dishes are amazing, especially the potato and egg dish we we're amazed by how something so simple tasted so delicious. I highly recommend visiting and would certainly return.

A truly unique gem with its own special charm, nestled in the heart of Jávea’s Old Town. This cozy little spot immediately welcomes you with a warm, inviting atmosphere steeped in history. Miguel, the owner, is a remarkable host—passionate about food and dedicated to creating a memorable experience for every guest. There’s no printed menu here. Instead, Miguel arrives at your table with his blackboard, enthusiastically explaining the evening’s offerings. His multilingual charm puts everyone at ease, making you feel like a guest in his home. The dishes change daily, depending on the freshest local ingredients sourced from the market. Expect an array of delicious starters, mains, and desserts, all crafted with authenticity and care. The wine list is equally impressive and reasonably priced. The quality, flavor, and presentation of the food are truly something to remember—each dish bursting with freshness and character. As the evening unfolds, the atmosphere becomes magical. At one point, Miguel may even start singing, and soon, the whole restaurant joins in. It’s a moment of pure joy, with an infectious energy that stays with you long after. Getting a table can be tricky, as the place is often fully booked—but trust me, this is a must-visit if you’re coming to Jávea. Miguel, thank you for yet another unforgettable evening.

A gem of a restaurant. Great food with excellent service. I think the menu changes regularly due to local ingredients, which only adds to the experience. Portion sizes are generous but ask the waiter for advice. You can always add another course later. The house wine was good value.

Outstanding. The whole experience. Brilliant owner, amazing service, delicious food, lovely atmosphere. Oh and great value, too.

Always amazing! Any dish I haver ever tried has ever dissapoint. Always well presented, and taste it, very taste it! Miguel has a wicked personality and makes you feel extremely welcome! Great team with the chef and lovely waiter! Its a must try!!

Came here last year and the food and service was exceptional . Went again 24.07.25 expecting the same quality food but was terribly let down . Service was slow we didn’t get what we ordered and the taste of the food was bland and disappointing . Such a shame how the standards have dropped in this lovely restaurant .

We have been here twice in the last 2 weeks whilst out in javea, the patatas bravas and cornflake chicken are great as usual,the first time the other dishes we had was not so good, no pate or pickles with the cheese and just a steak,however 2nd visit all the dishes was excellent, melted cheese with honey on and thin steak with egg and potatoes lovely atmosphere and friendly staff who try to sing along with the songs,excellent value,wine only €11 a bottle, will visit again next year

Probably the busiest restaurant in Javea, you almost certainly need to book to get in! Fantastic atmosphere, fabulous food great people!!

Our favourite place in the world! As a young family of 4, we adore this place so much. The staff are so friendly and our children love them, the food is incredible and you really couldn’t want for more. Would always recommend!

Beautiful little restaurant in the old town in Javea. We had the tapas tasting menu at lunch and were blown away by the quality and price. Absolutely wonderful food and excellent service. Thoroughly recommend.

I’m surprised at the average rating on here. This place was fantastic! My food was amazing! The drinks were excellent.

I ate the Gilda, Avocado salad and the Brocheta de pulpo... all good and tastey. small, comfortable and good service

We went to this place today. I was highly disappointed as previously enjoyed it. Today we had a very sharp, argumentative and unkind waitress. From the moment we walked in she had a problem. Maybe there is some issue in her life. We order some thai chicken wings which were some tiny crunchy wings with a topping of teriyaki sauce and then tacos de bacalao. When some frozen fish tasting of water arrived we were confused. We asked the waitress who explained that we are incapable of speaking Spanish and "taco" means a piece of fish. Indeed but when you have: curried empanadas (not Spanish), Thai wings (not spanish); one would expect tacos to be tacos shells with filling as served by the Javea Company and the rest of Javea. No one explained. They just argued and told us we are incompetent. We didn't have to pay for the taco in the end. The patronising and rude behaviour or the blonde waitress was beyond unacceptable.

A great place in #Javea city centre, ☂️ to advise all of our #CasaColine guests. And especially when you can get one of the few tables on the sidewalk and ín the sun ☀️, like me today. (It’s Januari and 22dgr…😃) This tapas restaurant used to be a wine shop 🍾, where also wine was served by theglass, accompanied by small bites. 🍝 Now is renowned for its cuisine and friendly service, where still the love for wine is leading… 🍷 We, from Casa Coline love this place!

Lovely tapas. Avocado, fish, spicy. Very good.

Great experience in a symbolic location! The restaurant is located on top of the old “trinquet” where the traditional Pilota Valenciana games were once played. The service was good and the food was great! Don’t miss the pulpo seco and the tellinas.

Fantastic place. Superb Paella. We had Valencia for 5 and Duck for 4. We were looked after very well and the food was amazing.

Very good food and friendly staff! We were there with 3 small kids - no problem! Also super wine for very fair price. In particular we loved the sea food tapas and the paella!

From the staff to the cuisine, the absolute go to restaurant for authentic Spanish food. It is a must visit every trip to Javea and sometimes more. Clams, sardines, sipioneta, paella and more are a few favorites. Highly recommended Trinquet and you will feel like family after you leave.

Simply amazing! I cannot say enough about the experience you will have here. The food, the people, the vibe are all TOP NOTCH! One of our favorire places anywhere. Of course the paella is the best which you probably have heard but there is a lot that we love on this menu. Come early and come often if you during your trip.

Great tapas restaurant and bar on the edge of Javea old town. This is very popular with locals and tourist so I recommend that you book a day or two ahead in the high season. The squid was delicious and on a second visit the monk fish & prawn juicy rice dish (minimum for 2 people) which is a wetter paella was excellent.

Amazing Paella, Service was really good and had the best paella I ever had in Spain, highly recommend it, 80/10

Fabrizio is an excellent chef and this is an excellent restaurant. We have been lots of times and it’s always fantastic. Last night we asked him to surprise my wife and I as we usually pick similar dishes each time. He started us with his delicious salad, followed by pear gazpacho and cured mackerel. He then served us a superb pressed pork dish with pickled beetroots & cauliflower with soy. He finished with a piece of steamed turbot with greens and an anchovy cream sauce. It was delicious. He was classically trained in Italy but loves Spain. First time we haven’t had his meatballs in almond cream! It made a nice change to sit in and chat to him as he prepared the food. Great night, thank you so much. 😊

Fabrizio’s food is anything but ordinary. You can tell this chef puts a lot of attention into their menu and has unique creations as well as fearless and playful takes on classics. An absolute MUST TRY for Xabia. I’m looking forward to going back again, possibly in the next few days, to try more delicious dishes.

Lovely location but I just don’t understand their concept.. the meat dishes were drenched in heavy sauces and the spaghetti seemed fried/burned? Is it supposed to be Italian tapas? It didn’t make sense to me.. Wines were fine though.

At 9 donde Fabrizio you are in for a unique experience. Set in a living room like atmosphere, the restaurant presents a cozy and vibrant atmosphere to enjoy delicate food prepared by the chef. Everything is freshly made and depending on your order, you may have to wait a little while, but this is the price you pay for getting high quality food. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable. A must vist in Xabía if you are looking for that unique experience. I highly recommend the Wellington bacalao.

This place was amazing, everything we had was so beautiful and delicious… 100% recommended (we had the risotto and the pork), everything was perfect, including our server.

The waitresses are really nice but the food very disappointing. Ordered pasta with lemon and anchovis. Got a lot of cornflakes in my pasta and pine nuts. But haven’t tasted any lemon nor anchovis.

A fantastic place to enjoy with friends and/or family and let the flavours melt in your mouth! Chef Fabrizio is great! Dogs are welcome… just let them know in advance 😊 parking really near by and just take a walk around the beautiful twin of Xabea!

Great food, service, atmosphere. Highly recommend for an experience in Spanish food.

This place is a gem. Placed right in the heart of the old town of Jávea, it offers a great and practical location. The tapas was very delicate and tasty, offering a wide variety of small dishes to enjoy. The place has a cozy setting and environment with friendly and welcoming staff. It is overall a sophisticated and authentic place that is definitely worth a visit!

Just awesome. A perennial favourite, the food is superb, the service lovely, the atmosphere convivial. Never gets old.

Just perfect..the rice for two persons was absolutely magnificent! And everything else we ate..

Myself and wife had a nice lunch here but 2x drinks were added to the bill that we didn't have !! Check your bills ! We would not return 😒

The place is just wonderful! Really delicious food, fair and not so expensive prices, and incredibly gorgeous style! The meals were so good, I couldn’t make a pic before finishing them😅

Great food en service! Recommend to reserve a table.

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.

An amazing place !!! Everything so tasty and wonderful views from the tables by the windows.

Lovely restaurant and service. Varied set menu which changes each week and between weekday and weekend. Advise not to eat before you visit as plenty to eat and drink. The lamb is beautiful. Ala carte is also an option. Beautiful views. Visited once again and service plus food was excellent. Visited in August 2026 and great as usual. Prefer cash payment.

Ya gotta book!!! This place is very popular! The views from this top floor restaurant overlooking Javea port and the bay are fantastic! The food is exquisite and nothing is ever too much trouble. Birthday?.. prepare for a singsong... Dietary requirements... Just ask and you won't be served short either. Staff are very proud and always wear a smile 😁. I'll say it again.... Ya gotta book!!! 😉

Superb and excellent food, service and setting. An absolute must for all.

Exceptional... why can't all restaurateurs create such a fabulous restaurant, a delightful evening, great value and the two young children were welcomed. We will be back...

Great restaurant, with fantastic views. Friendly and attentive service, excellent value set menu. Eat there a number of times, never fails to impress. Highly recommended!

I went here for the first time with family who have been before. There is nothing I can add to the stars I have awarded... Attico is exceptional in every way - in fact I am loathe to recommend it so highly as I fear it will get booked up more than it already is! The views from this restaurant are breathtaking and the menu is exquisite, with the service second to none. 5 words of warning...Be Hungry When You Go!

We held a private party for over 100 people and everything was excellent

Visited when visiting family in Spain. Unfortunately had a really bad experience when we visited. The pool didn’t seem very clean but the worst part was that I ordered a dish that listed only vegetarian ingredients however when it arrived it had meat in it. As a vegetarian I should have asked just to be sure and they did agree to make me a new dish but one of the staff members said something very rude about me in Spanish not realising my brother who I was with is fluent in spanish. She was told to be quiet by another member of staff who knew my brother could understand her. Really wasn’t a pleasant experience and i felt very uncomfortable after that.

Not an impressive place, just like a large tent. Snack food obviously precooked, chicken raw on the bone, plates cold. Drinks - ran out of draught beer and coca cola. Charged 3 euro for a very small bottle of coke. A definite rip off.

Lovely large outdoor bar restaurant with a pool. Attached to go carting so you could have a nice day out here. We only had a drink but will be back to drive the go carts. The drinks were slightly more than going to a typical Spanish bar but was worth it. Views are lovely surrounded by mountains. Was clean and staff were friendly.

Great pool for young kids. And they have a bouncy castle.

Sorry to make a negative. But the food was probably the worst we have ever eaten in Spain. And some of the more than folk was almost as bad...

A nice outdoor space in the summer with a swimming pool next to the tables. Also a pleasant indoor space good for events/ gigs.. but the staff always seem disorganised and they have a tendency to ignore customers.
