The 41 best cheap eats in Javea

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...

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!

Loved this restaurant/bar! Food was great, service, views right on the Mediterranean is unbelievable. 30 min walk from L’Arenal beach, 10 minute walk from port area.

La siesta could be a top Ibiza style location in Javea; with its amazing decore, 2 large bars, different dinning and lounge areas overlooking the Mediterranean sea. We went for dinner and waited to get acknowledge for at least 15minutes. They weren’t even full. Super slow service but at least friendly. The food tasted good and so did the drinks. Still a place to stop by while in Javea.

Very beautiful place on the sea. Nice breakfast but not many options and looks very minimal. The waitress's service was the worst. She made faces that she didn't feel like working. This is the only place with service that doesn't suit the area.

I’ve been there 2 times, first time both food and drinks (beer) were delicious but second time food was much worse than before, we asked for medium well steak and we received medium. Also Patatas bravas had different sauce than the first time we were there. I don’t know if the cook was different or something went wrong but we are sure that next time we’ll get only beers there.

Perfect beach bar. Prices are respectable. Food is good and generous portions. Friendly staff. Spectacular sea views. Good lounge music Excellent continental breakfast!

Atmosphere and drinks were amazing. Food was fine and expensive, understandably because of the views.

Love coming here when we come to Javea, the best of the beach bars by a stretch. Great atmosphere, refreshing drinks and tasty food. Lovely view and one of those spots you could sit for hours in. Been all times of the day and each time you get a different albeit equally enjoyable experience. Evening’s have a lovely ambiance with low lighter and good music

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.

"The Food was absolutely delicious, with perfectly balanced flavors and beautiful presentation. A must-try!" "The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making us feel very welcome. They were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations." "The restaurant's cozy atmosphere and soft lighting created a perfect setting for a romantic dinner. The outdoor seating area is also beautiful." "This restaurant is a hidden gem! The food was exceptional, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was charming. Highly recommend!" "A great spot for families! The kids' menu had healthy options, and the staff were very accommodating."

An excellent Indian restaurant a few streets back from the busy Arenal. The interior looked very nice but they also had a terrace at the back set in a small square. The staff were very friendly & helpful, the food delicious & the house red was perfect. 2 x main dishes, 2 x sides, nan, bottle of water & 4 x glasses of wine for £40 puts our local curry house back home to shame. Highly recommended.

The team at Buddha Palace always goes over and above to cater for anyone’s needs. It was a family party recently and we had 42 people attend everyone was dealt with impeccable care from the baby’s to the grandparents you never have to wait and courtyard outside is fantastic they also deliver that personal touch ! We can’t thank the team enough Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone

We have lived in Javea for almost 3 years and have tried many Indian restaurants, however, this one stands out. We visit most weeks and although we have our favourites we have enjoyed trying out new dishes. The team are lovely and very friendly. Excellent value for money too.

Absolute gem of an Indian, great service , fast efficient and friendly. Menu is fantastic, good amazing. So fresh and tasty. Forgot to take photos 😕

STILL AMAZING 21/06/23 - Excellent food best Indian I have been to in Spain, we started with King Prawns, Malai Chicken Tikka and Chicken Tikka for starts all were freshly cooked. The prawns were gorgeous! For main course we had House Speciality Chicken Curry, Chicken Madras and Chicken Tikka Marsla the curries were all generous in portion size and beautifully cooked the meat was moist to eat. We had Egg, Mushroom and Pilau Rice's with garlic and peshawar naans. All the above was 17.50 euros per person You also get a poppadum and small ice cream or coffee. Service is excellent and restaurant is clean thanks team.

Wonderful meal . Each dish was excellent. Individual flavour to all dishes.Nan bread especially delicious. Lovely atmosphere.

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.

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.

A lovely picturesque location serving really nice tapas type food. I made a reservation and was unable to move it by 30 minutes as I couldn’t get them to answer the phone! Waiting staff were indifferent upon our arrival and pointed to a ‘bar code’ for us to access the menu. Food was of lovely quality and deserved a much better introduction to our table than it got! Bill was delivered to the the table while we were still eating and gave the impression that the restaurant is sufficiently busy that customers can be taken for granted , consequence free. Lovely food, disappointing service and very little interest from restaurant personnel when we gave honest feedback. I won’t be back.

Very nice waitres that arranged a table for 11 persons without a problem. We ordered a mix tapas from the chef, and it was delicious. The different tapas dishes arrived with fried vegetables, bravas, sea food, meat, delicious duck and a entrecote that ended a perfect dinner. Nice place and highly recommended.

We were served and seated by a lovely waiter, the food was delicious, in particular the tempura bacaloa and secreto iberico. I've marked the score as a 3 star due to us getting overcharged, and the attitude of the young lady who we paid the bill to, my husband has never ever had his change slammed at him on the counter. It's a pity, no will never return.

Delicious tapas with a lovely lemon tart to finish. Highly recommend!

Best garlic prawns ever. I have been eating prawns for about 60 years. The prawns here were cooked to perfection! Potatoes bravas were brilliant! Sauce was hot and spicy! Go there…..you won’t be disappointed!

We had been here before several years ago and decided to take visiting family members there. The service was good and the food that we ordered was nice. My own feeling is that compared to other places that serve very similar offerings, this was expensive. We probably won't go again for quite a while as there are other comparable places to eat in the same vicinity which we all agreed were better value and of a similar standard. No real complaints and they deserve their good reviews if you don't mind the prices.

Absolutely delicious 😋 wow

The Curry Palace has been a consistent favourite of ours over many years. We have recommended it to numerous friends and acquaintances and have shared our positive experiences on TripAdvisor. On our most recent  visit, however, we invited friends & anticipated the usual high standard. Whilst the service was excellent and the food was plentiful, we found our menu choices to be extremely underwhelming if quite frankly 'not very nice' across all main dishes. Sadly, a lot of food went to waste. For now, we'll put down to our menu choice, but this is extremely unusual as we love all curry dishes & a first for us in any Indian Restaurant anywhere.  The ice cream dessert whilst delicious was very small. One side of our party left an extremely healthy tip, whilst not expected we were not offered a complimentary drink at the end, which caused raised eyebrows when our neighbouring table received a tray of complimentary drinks. Note: this restaurant offers an all inclusive menu but does not openly advertise it anymore. So you'll need to ask the staff if you desire this! Whilst we'll continue to recommend 'The Curry Palace', our recommendation now comes with reservation, 'A meal is only as good as the last' Based on our overall experience we will be trying the 'Royal Ghurka' on our next visit to Javea for a change.

This is the second time in a couple of years that we have eaten there when visiting Spain and we couldn't recommend it high enough. We are originally from London where we have experienced many Indian meals and this was certainly up there with the best of them. Absolutely delicious!

Such a shame! Had high hopes for here... normally eat at Kathmandu, but fancied somewhere different.. Had to wait a long time to order, (almost an hour) but they were busy i guess. Starter was ok, king prawn puree was too sweet, and paneer pakora was luke warm. Tandoori mixed grill wasnt bad, but a little dry. Naan, I ordered a chicken tikka naan, but it came with cheese in it, not sure if my fault or now, but melted cheddar in a naan was disgusting, neither of us ate it. The biggest issue is that no one at all came to the table to check on the food at any point... not until the plates were cleared.. (about 20 mins after we finished eating!)which was too late tbh. I mentioned the naan and they offered to make us one without cheese, great, but too little too late. They did, at their own choice take the naan off the bill, which i appreciate, but it all could have been solved with someone just coming to the table occasionally... Also, the house wine... yuk... Summary. Service needs improvement, small issues that could have been sorted left us with a bad taste in the mouth.

Absolutely lovely place. The staff or family are just so welcoming and friendly. Anything is no trouble. And the food is just lovely to. We sat outside, basically right next to the footpath, so we could see the fireworks in the bay.

Absolutely recommended to try if you haven't yet. The service is top class with some great recommendations, the food is also really really good. My other half never was a fan of Nepalese nor Indian cuisine, however after dining at the Curry Palace, he ordered more food for take away 😅 Thank you! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

One of the best Indian restaurants in Javea!!!. They have authentic cuisines and yummy flavors, all matched my expectations. Service was excellent. Especially menu was so completely focus on traditional dishes.

A wonderful experience tonight for myself and partner. Staff were outstanding! Friendly, attentive and standard of food was excellent! Recommend highly!

Lovely to find a traditional Spanish resto tucked away in Xabia!!

Really good spannish food! Beter than the more touristical restaurants at the coastline. Typical Spanish ambiance. Super friendly waiters. We always come back here.

Can definitely recommend Azorin there paellas one of the very best in Javea Ramon and his staff are great very attentive nothing is to much trouble to do. Its a family run business That I recommend to my guests as well who stay at our apartment.

Super bueno, Lentil soup, chicken noodle soup, the best in town. Always a friendly welcome, never heard a bad word about the Azorin restaurant. Been coming here for thirty years, hope we can do another thirty years. Recommend booking.

Fantastic food. Varied menu.family friendly. Pleasant helpful staff

Always an excellent meal at Azorín, friendly atmosphere, great service, great staff, all in all a must visit!!!A+++++

Lovely food, really kind people working here, would recommend for a local experience!

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.

First time visiting here and will definitely be returning. We had a selection of sharing plates and the flavours of each were amazing. A very creative menu and a lovely selection of wines too. I would have put 4.5 for service and atmosphere but it was 4 or 5 and early in the evening for atmosphere. Nice easy listening music that wasn’t too loud.

Excellent service from Fabian. Anticipated needs and also gave me my space. Watermelon gazpacho was delicious and refreshing, bread and tepanade was yummy, ceviche was good (missing a zing tho, like spiciness or lime). Would come back to try more.

Very good restaurant. Excellent food, great atmosphere and very friendly staff. We will definitely come back to taste other things from the menu.

Definitely worth a visit, excellent food for all courses and friendly attentive staff. If you like Asian fusion food this is the place.

Great little roadside restaurant, tasty food and super friendly waitress made our lunch a treat. Try the delicious duck gyoza and nachos for a big plate of crunchy tasty goo 😁

Food is “meh”. I booked a table here, attracted by the high rating but I must say that I was pretty dissatisfied with the quality of the food. I may have chosen the wrong things but what we tried was really not good. We started with the plantain/ banana, which was actually really good, so we were enthusiastic at what was coming but not. I ordered the salmon and my husband the chicken with peanut sauce (“kip saté) but both were really tasteless, and the fries of his dish looked old and greasy. The personnel was however very kind. Based on the food and having so many other options to eat, I do not recommend the food of this place

We hadn’t booked a table ( best to book) so we had to wait quite a while once we got seated but though the food took quite a while it was good and I really enjoyed the sole which was huge and well cooked.

What a truly beautiful setting for lunch. On top of that fantastic service, great drinks, and incredible food make this a highly recommended place. We dined on a Friday at 2pm and the terrace was maybe half full but my local friends advise to make a reservation especially for the weekend. The menu is off a QR code but they do have hard copies available if you need it. Dog friendly for the outdoor seating; not sure about inside. Between the four of us we shared 8 dishes. The tuna tataki was incredible but honestly everything we ate impressed us. Even the edamame has a beautiful smoky, slightly chili bite to it which made it extra special. They make good use if a charcoal bbq in the kitchen 🥰 Yes the prices are on the high side but you won't be disappointed with what you get for that price. Set this place on your to do list as a special meal and enjoy

An amazing experience! We loved everything! The place is amazingly beautiful the staff was extremely attentive and polite and the food was exquisite! We had the Peruvian cevice and the T-bone and they were one of the best we have ever had. And the bread - unbelievable. Altogether this restaurant deserves a 10 not a 5 :)

Looking for a little paradise with delicious food, friendly service and an almost tropical ambiente? Well, the “Terra” might fit your bill! Yes, the prices are a bit higher but you get value for it: The food was excellent, starting right with the olives that came with the drinks - a class or two above the average. The bread and aioli was a treat, with fresh crusty bread and nice salsas. The salad with figs, avocado, apples and pomegranate was crowned with an exquisite dressing which brought out the individual flavors. We tasted the pork belly and the stake and both were excellent quality and outstandingly prepared and presented. An true treasure to be discovered and enjoyed- I would rate it 5 star+!!!

Lovely restaurant in a nicely decorated setting. The staff are friendly and very welcoming. We were asked if we liked the glass of wine we ordered and also the food. We shared the solomillo as we are not big eaters and it came with chips and brocolli, cauliflower and carrots. It was nicely presented. The bread and aioli came with tomato salsa and was a big enough portion for 2 or 3 people. We had a lovely experience and was made very welcome. The menu is varied and makes you want to try a different dish next time. They do burgers which we saw being served and they looked good. The prices are reasonably priced for the quality of food and ingredients.

An upscale seafood culinary experience with the friendliest staff and great vibes!

Two fabulous meals on Thursday and Saturday this week. Absolutely wonderfully presented, delicious food. The Sea bass to share was stunning. The Thai steak salad was out of this world, and the grilled ribeye (on the bone) was as good as it could ever get. The grilled pineapple with coconut ice cream, the chocolate tartlet with almonds, and "the original" tarte tatin were all to die for. The kitchen staff had obviously already worked their wonders, but all the front-of-house staff were just so welcoming and friendly. Carlos (in particular) was attentive, pleasant and helpful and made the whole experience special. He suggested appropriate wines, without letting his finger wander down the menu to big-priced bottles. Sharing a common interest in football and Oasis, he made time to chat, yet wasn't neglecting other tables. All-in-all probably one of the best restaurant experiences ever ... and that's saying something.

Fantastic restaurant that just ticks all the right boxes. Settings well thought out menu, service and food all outstanding. One of our favourite places in Jávea.

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!

The best Thai cuisine in the region! I always order the Somtam salad to determine if a restaurant truly serves authentic Thai food. The one at Monsoon is just perfect. If you ask them to make it Thai hot, they'll gladly accommodate you. The ambiance is nice, with warm lighting and a terrace overlooking the sea. It reminds me of the restaurants in Koh Tao.

Authentic Thai food. Very tasty and very spicy 🌶️

Delicious food, I had the spicy curry with pineapple & courgette (I can’t remember the name) and my mum had the sea bass which was super tasty.

We are returning customers and the food is delicious! Service is always good too. My only comment would be to buy some knives, find it bizarre how a restaurant can operate without having any. Also, I would prefer a proper printed menu rather than a QR code, when coming with elderly relatives this is a struggle.

Excellent food and great setting with a view of the sea. They offer a three course menu del dia for €14.50 with lots of choice and is excellent value. Great flavours, the Chopitos were particularly good as was the Green Chicken curry. Highly recommended

One of favorite restaurant in the costa blanca. the food is a 10+. fantastic always. the service is so bad.... There's a tall waitress working, and oh my god, that's truly awful. What a terrible atmosphere. Unfriendly and rude. The rest of the staff is more busy hanging around the bar than paying attention to whether guests want drinks. If the service had been good, I would have given this restaurant a 10 and 5 stars. Now, despite the super delicious food, I can't go higher than 4 stars.

Tasty dishes, nice day menu offer and some vegan dishes too. Friendly dogs welcome on the patio too! Great views overlooking the waterfront.

We were out of season so not busy at all, but food was excellent, fresh, good cooked and arranged…Stuff was great, helpful, welcoming, so nice and friendly. Great

Starters were very basic and poorly presented. Was dreading the mains. We all ordered fish and I must say it was outstanding. Well cooked and full of flavours. Service was exceptionally poor though, very slow, waited 45 minutes between starter and main. Kids burgers was exceptionally poor and arrived immediately so kids were done and dusted way before adults mains. Wasn't overly busy due to time of year so not sure what went in with service.

The fish starters were good, fresh dishes. The salad was correct with tasty mint dressing. The paella was well cooked, I prefer other flavours but wanted to taste this one. It was correct but not the best I have ever tasted. The price was very good, if you order the menus. The service were friendly, however, they took so long between the dishes, I just wanted to leave instead of having the paella. It made the experience non enjoyable, it felt like we spent too much time waiting instead of enjoying the food.

Lovely restaurant, lovely food, great staff! We've been here tree times in the four weeks that we've been here in Javea. Notable that local families go there for a treat too. Best to book, or just turn up when it opens at about 7pm if you're passing. Some of the tapas is quite substantial, so order carefully!

We were here during our holidays. It was amazing! The scenery is just great, you can hear the waves and we watched the sun set over the sea. It is a crowded area as it belongs to the promenade, so I would advise to book a table in advance. As we were sitting outside it was not too loud or busy. The food was amazing! We had chicken paella and the steak and both were just great. The steak even comes with fries and veggies, which was not mentioned on the card. The price is not as cheap as you could have it, but for the quality it was totally fine! Special wishes were accounted for so perfectly, everyone was really friendly. We will come back!

We had a great meal which was the meal of the day! I found the service on this day to be exceptional very attentive and always with a smile, well done! The fare WAS freshly prepared that's just something you instinctively know. The portions were well sized and treated very good. Well worth a visit with super views of the bay and the passersby on the playa.

Fresh and tasty sea food platters, this restaurant serves a variety of local dishes but you must try their sea food. We’ve ordered sepia as appetizer, it was served along with bread and garlic sauce then Arroz del senyoret as main dish we could not be happier with the decision, portions are very big, we left the restaurant full. I’ve to say that eating this in front of the beach Was an amazing experience. Servers are very nice and price is fair. Bad side is that the service is a bit slow because you can only order food from one Sever

All the waiters were very nice, except for the manager. He was so rude, correcting the young waiters in front of us in such a violent way… that initial encounter was very awkward. We ordered 6 main dishes, 5 gin tonics and asked for a few extra lemons and when the bill came we were charged 2 euro for the lemons. Ridiculous when you have a 250 euro bill. When we told the manager (after having already paid the bill) that we thought it was not necessary to charge for a couple of lemon slices, he simply said they “couldn’t be free”. Not coming back.

Came here for date night. We got sangria which was amazing and very copious. We also got croquettas to share (because when in Rome right?). I got a salad which I think is called showroom if my memory serves me right - it was delicious. My bf got a hamburger which comes with 250g of wagyu beef - he thought it was excellent. Definitely recommend this place.

We've had several meals here and it's my favourite restaurant in Xabia. The food is amazingly good and so tasty. I highly recommend the prawn tacos which are delicious. The service is excellent and the staff are very attentive and lovely. I can't wait to come back again and eat here.

Dont believe the low ratings. How this could have 4.1 and all the chabadas have 4.5+ makes no sense if you're judgung based on quality of food and service. It may be a little more expensive but you get what you pay for. Please come here and stop supporting the chabadas. The last thing the arenal needs is more chabadas.

By far the best tapas on the boulevard! Ate there few times in the week we stayed there. Friendly staff and great food!

EXCELLENT! We loved it, the views on the beachfront and the excellent treatment of Jose. We will repeat if we return to this beautiful town.

Great location, food and service were very good but the prices (14e for a a few prawns) was too much and they charged 1.50 for a price of bread in addition. . It is a good place but alas not the tapas bar it used to be. Hopefully it will adjust its position.

Excellent high quality restaurant and not too damaging on the wallet for such quality. A great experience with the food is top drawer. Staff are attentive also but not interfering. We had the artichokes and foie gras, sole cooked on the bone and ‘limpiar’ at the table , followed by Mille Feux. Delicious. Highly recommended. Spain know how to do it. Try the Albariño too 😋

Just had a wonderful experience at this wonderful restaurant, the food was excellent very high standard and beautiful. The service was first class and we were made to feel very special in a beautiful setting out first here and can't wait to visit again. Special mention to Tifo and all his colleagues who made our visit extra special. Thank you

Loved our visit to Los Amigos in Javea! The staff were super friendly and welcoming, the setting was gorgeous with lovely views, and the service was spot on. There is also a bodega downstairs with some amazing wines. The food was high quality produce, fresh, tasty and really well cooked – couldn’t fault a thing. Can’t wait to go back! 🤩

Very nice venue, excellent layout and very attentive service. The quality of their food is unparalleled, recommendable to everyone looking to have a good experience. Plenty of parking, they are located close to the busy areas and many options for vegan eaters. Overall very good, keep up the good work guys!

perfect place for Lunch. Waiter Tifo was really nice guy who made really good tartar. I would recommend this place for everyone.

We just had an amazing diner at Los Amigos. Tigo creates a friendly vibe an he made an amazing steak tartare on the table and the langoustines with Armagnac where delicious. They were also generous with the drinks and service. Thank you for the wonderful evening.

Tasteless wines and food. zero professionalism even for a humble place like Jávea. It's basically a country chiringuito for old group of friends. If you’re looking for a pleasant dining experience, go somewhere else.

I’ve wanted to try this restaurant for a while after visiting Jávea on numerous occasions and was a little dubious about booking after reading an awful review. This person clearly had been out in the Spanish sun too long or had just crawled out from under a rock! Our meal was delicious and we had excellent service from waiters in shorts? (God forbid) Also nobody rubbed their backside on us so my husband was quite disappointed ! 🙄 Jokes aside I would definitely recommend this restaurant. I would say it’s wise to book if you want to avoid disappointment. Very good value for money and our experience was great! Mucho Gracias!

The is one of my favourite restaurants in Old Town Xabia. It’s become a staple for us. The pulled pork pizza, the burrata salad, eggplant parmigiana…. Delicious. The staff are fun, attentive and kind and always make us feel at home. 💖

My visit to this restaurant was simply awful. We were served by two unfriendly men wearing shorts, who showed absolutely no respect for their guests. While serving, they shamelessly pressed their backsides against us and reached across the table, handing plates over our heads. It was an extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional experience. The whole atmosphere felt messy, unpleasant, and far from what you would expect from a proper restaurant. After dining there, I asked around and, to my surprise, people actually laughed when they heard I had eaten there — apparently, the place already has a bad reputation. In short: a major disappointment. This place is not worthy of being called a restaurant. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere else. What a joke.

This was a lovely place! After reading the reviews we had to try the gnocchi, and it did not disappoint! It was like chewing on a cloud and we have never had a gnocchi like this before. The waiters were so nice and attentive and gave us good recommendations. Would definitely go back to this place!

Have been a few times and the staff are attentive and friendly, multi-lingual if you need it, and the food selection is comprehensive with Italian and also a beautifully cooked selection of local menu items. I have enjoyed the pulpo - perfectly cooked, and the Pluma de Iberico, which tasted wonderful. Drinks are good value and the view of the plaza outside is a nice backdrop whilst eating. Well recommended

Had seen this restaurant a few times throughout the week and glad that we got to try it. Stopped for some lunch and did not regret it. I had the granjera pizza with chicken, bacon, mushrooms and onions and it was amazing! Partner had the seafood pasta and thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was very good, prices very reasonable and the complimentary limoncello topped it off nicely! Would visit again.

Its the 2nd time we have been here. The first time was wonderful the staff were great and the food was excellent. Tonight we came back and I had the aubergine parmagina which was the best I have had for a long time. All the staff were attentive especially Bebe (I hope I spelt your name correct 🤔)....I highly recommend this restaurant for all the right reasons.... nos vemos pronto 😃

The food is okay, till I saw the Kitchen Chef. Go outside to smoke after every order, his finger dark brown of the nicotine..........yak The waitress was very attended and friendly. Also a lot of vegetarian food.

Quirky little place split into two areas – a lively bar/restaurant at the front and a quieter back room. We hadn't booked but managed to get a table, albeit facing a wall next to an unused meat grinder, which felt a little odd. The service was friendly, and the menu offered a wide selection of dishes – not all traditional Spanish, which was a refreshing change. The food itself was surprisingly good – well presented and full of flavour. However, the decor feels tired and in need of a refresh – a lick of paint would go a long way. The biggest letdown was the washrooms, which were quite unpleasant and clearly not well maintained – always a telling sign for any restaurant. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, just not one I'd personally return for.

I can't give less than 1 star. Terrible experience, a busy lunchtime and one young man serving. The menu is on a chalkboard. The small tables slope. We watched 9 ladies cramped up on 2 small tables, there was hardly room for the drinks never mind food. You can't make any changes so for example an steak comes with rosemary chips, no choice of vegetables or even a simple salad. We ordered 2, just one arrived. The meat was very tough. The plates we cracked, chipped and crazed, not very hygienic. The prices are high, we could have gone to a place with tablecloths and had a 3 course menu for less money. We used to tell our friends about this place as it used to be good. No more.

Absolutely stunning food! I was worried due to the amount of variety on the menu (jack of all trades, master of none kinds of thing) but I was so wrong, every dish was amazing. Nothing had that premade or frozen look, everything was Fresh. Highly Highly recommend!

Fabulous service and great food.I am a solo traveller/ ex-restaurateur and this town is my favorite for many reasons. I found a new one in my lunch experience at La Sucreria. On a very busy festival day, I was seated promptly, and then helped with my menu choices by breathless, yet efficient wait staff. The food arrived promptly, and was a deliciously different, which I love. The waitress was running, but she stayed cool under pressure and knew her menu well. Well done kitchen and service. Thanks and I'll be back!

The food here is some of the most inventive I’ve seen anywhere, and the value for money is exceptional. It can get busy and the staff sometimes struggle but it’s all done with a smile. Well done!

Best tapas I’ve had in Spain, might not seem like a restaurant but more of a bar but honestly was the best food I’ve had, proper tapas that was well thought out, Juan was a great server going the extra miles for us

Sat down for beer and was very rudely told to leave. There were several tables with many other people drinking and eating. The proprietor just kept telling us they were closed. Do not recommend.

Very fresh seafood! The squid and fish are to die for. The service can be a bit slow and there are always a few flies around, but overall it’s a very pleasant experience right by the sea.

We were served stale fish that was not suitable for human consumption (smelled like rubbish). It was by far the worst meal I ever had. It's not even a cheap place price-wise but definitely cheap in every other regard. The place overall has a problem with hygiene and service. I wouldn't even come near this place again.

We advised to try La Cantina de Javea by the air conditioning engineer. He said they purchase the fish from the market 100 years away. He advised us to book, as it was popular with the locals. We tried and tried. We drove over to it a three times, once mid afternoon once late afternoon and the other at 19:25 and waited around for quarter of an hour. There was no one at the premises. I tried the number listed on Google over a three days at differing times morning, evening and night time. Even at 20:45 and 22:00 there was no answer. There are no contact details listed on the restaurant. There is a clip board with several names written on a sheet of paper, whether this is how you are supposed to book was not really clear. I can only conclude that during the 20st July to the 4th August the restaurant is closed. Maybe some one who knows how to make a reservation and what time the restaurant opens can please share the information via a review.

Pathetic pathetic fraud…first I would start we ordered 6 main items off the regular menus and day catch. There were four people in my party. ONLY ONE item we ordered of the six looked fresh and caught from the Med as they claim, rest looked frozen. Not only prices are inflated compared to similar restaurants it did not taste that well. When the bill came, every item, drink and food at least one extra was fraudulent added. It was 20-25% more then it should have. Be careful and vigilant when reviewing your bill. Conclusion…overpriced, fraud, not that fresh or tasty. WILL DEFINITELY NOT RE-VISIT.

Back for the second time and everything delicious

Lovely place at first sight...between docks and fishing boats. Before we went, I also read new opinions and it seemed that we would eat very well... fresh and good. ...The experience was different....The only fresh dishes that are tasty are the cache of the day...a little bit peppery for the price for the quantity it offers....otherwise everything (tapas)... ..from frozen....The oil is unchanged and this can be seen by the way everything that is fried looks (brown instead of golden)...And not to mention the famous PATATAS BRAVAS....which in their conception are french fries with sauce...Ridiculous....However, they are lucky to fool many tourists who don't know....The locals would not accept such food and quality...at their prices...once again RIDICULOUS. ...And to finish....be careful what is put on your bill...the tendency of waiters to round up their tip even more...is to put more than you have consumed....Check ok and great attention....I was fooled once....the second one won't happen again...All the best

We we're very luck to get the only unreserved table for two. Last night at 7.15pm. Very nice seating area. Waiter was very pleasant. We enjoyed our tapas. Unfortunately there was a table of 4 women behind us, who smoked none stop from sitting down shortly after us. Not pleasant when you're a non smoker, even the couple next to us commented. The owner was extremely nice.

We enjoyed our visit a lot! Food was delicious and so fresh (octopus just out of this world ❤️). We felt very welcomed, and can definitely recommend to anyone!

We had a starter and I had a Bone steak. Excellent prepared! The best steak I had until today in the area. We will come back this week before we fly back to the Netherlands. I'll recommend this restaurant to everyone who likes meat tapas and good food. Bernhard Koch Lanaken Belgium.

Our first time staying in this part of Javea and delighted to have found this bar. Made to feel welcome as soon as we stepped through the door and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Canas, vinos and tapas to settle in, then a glorious bottle of house wine, a few more tapas and a main meal to finish. Prices are very reasonable, ambiance is superb. I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you choose to step into this very special place

Very calm atmosphere, we ordered a few tapas and every one of them was amazing. So delicious would highly recommend

The Tal Cual is a gem hidden in a side street in the Harbour district of Jávea. This place is offering affordable, mostly homemade, fresh tapas of great quality at affordable prices. Our passionated review does reflect their passion and will be more extensive than usual. The Tal Cual itself was very busy in the evening, so a reservation might be useful. There are some places located on the calm streetside and some in the bar. The bar itself is a pool of good mood, with very good music and artful decorated. There is a lot to discover on the walls while you are waiting for your dinner. We had pan with alioli and a tomato sauce as a classical starter, later a traditional meatball layered in cabbage. It was very delicious because the herbs and well made in hot broth. We also had calamares, and I'd say you might never had that delicious ones before. Buttery soft inside while crispy outside. The patatas bravas where not optimally for us because we like them grilled / crispy too, with a bit of hot salsa. But well each cuisine has own preparation methods. We also had smoked salmon, which might be not homemade but still of good quality and well served and temperated, along with black sesame and some good fruity olive oil. The cocktails were awesome. You should try them. All waiters were very friendly and helpful and we loved their passion about their job, so did we appreciate the passion of the kitchen team for doing an fantastic job on the drinks and food we got served. In our opinion The Tal Cual should be on your top 5 to go list of tapas bars, when in Jávea. We will definitely return and also try some of the many other things to discover on their rich card of tapas. See you soon! #RestaurantPiraten #LetsGuide

Very popular lively spot, so I’d recommend making a reservation. I really liked the their premium selection of croquettas, the meatballs were very good as well.

The views are great, with the sea in front of you while you are having a tea. That's great. Unfortunately, it's the only thing. I have been going there for the last few years, every 6 months, and the place is downgrading in every single aspect. Even the views, as now they have had the glass broken for at least 2 weeks. The food is NOT worth it. We ordered the Smoothie smile breakfast, where there is a smoothie included, but it's 100 ml., which is less than half of a regular cup, basically a shot. We were extremely disappointed with it. Also, the service was not very professional, having his attention to his mobile phone rather than serving the tables. I had to go twice to him to ask him things. Also, they tried to overcharge us with a tea, that according to the waiter was not included in the breakfast. It was good in the past, but they have taken a terrible road. Hopefully when I get back in 5 months it won't be a 2 stars.

Beach front, clean and nicely decorated restaurant. Chairs are comfy to sit. Pet friendly. They have big menu but when we there many things are not available. The food we got was OK. But the begal bread is clearly old. I don't know it it still not summer when traffic is higher. But it could do better. The staff are not that attentive. But only one person is working as well. So i don't know. Service in general is slow. I don't kind since we just chilling and sit by the beach. We might give it another try in summer.

So disappointed, we stopped here for a drink on our holiday (with 2 locals) the service was dire, there were only 6 people in. It took a good 15 minutes for service, and even then he was taken back to be asked for a g&t....it took a further 15 minutes for 4 drinks to arrive. At this point we asked for pan y Ali oli for 3 people. Which took another 15 minutes to arrive. The bread was warm which was nice but we were given 2 very small pots of Ali oli which tasted just like the one bought in shops. But it was essentially 6€30 for 3 bread rolls and (approx) 50ml pots of Ali oli. When we went to pay the bill 2 members were on the settee one just lying there on his phone, in fact both were on their phones. It was expensive, the cocktails were not very good at all and small for the price. 9€ on average for a whisky tumbler size tequila sunrise... The only reason we stayed and waited was because my father in law has limited mobility and it took a bit of effort for him to get up and seated. In fact a customer helped us, not the staff to get him and seated says it all.... Clearly younger staff are cheaper to employ maybe but they also had no idea it seemed!! Such a shame, there's a lot that needs to be rectified!!

Awful. Awful. Awful. Normally love their pizzas. Last weekend ordered pizzas and they were so different and so bad. The cheese was orange coloured, sticky, horrible. Weird like they’d switched mozzarella for Red Leicester or Stilton or some weird combo. I phoned them, they told me they’d run out of the normal cheese until Monday and they were sorry! I get these things happen but they’d swapped in an awful cheese and then refused to refund or change them. We left the pizzas. Totally inedible. They refused a refund or replacement. Check their reviews on just eat. 1.8 out of 5! We’ve returned the pizzas. I took them the next day to show we hadn’t eaten them. They’ve offered a 30% discount on our next order after days of arguing. I won’t be going there ever again.

Completely empty and now we know why. The only decent thing about the meal was the drinks, and they were out of a can. If you order anything chicken expect it thinner then wafer thin. Generally an awful experience even the birds didn't eat the chicken. Definitely not coming back

Went here twice today approx 1100hrs then 1330hrish. Relaxed atmosphere, I didn’t eat but the food looked good. Comfy seating. Great position on the seafront over looking the beach. Prices are very good. I paid €6.60 for a pint and a Fanta orange. Nice comfy pink couch in elevated position looking out past the beach to the Mrs. Rachel was friendly and welcoming and cleaned the table down and we sat, she took my order. Second time today went back because I enjoyed it there. My wife’s joined me a little latter, Service was slooooww I think maybe the lunch rush got there before the staff. Alejandro was a little flustered when he arrived and was straight into the thick of it. A few grumbles from surrounding customers about service and either having to go to bar to order or pay the bill. Would I go again Yes. Would I recommend of course yes. Great place to go. Had chat with manager on a chat app on the website and let him know about service then service picked up.

Good food, friendly staff, fab brunch options till 12:00, reasonable prices, can accommodate everyone 👍 visited several times in the part week

Every time we dine here, it's a celebration! The quality is always high, the flavors are refined, and the menu is wonderfully varied. Prices are absolutely reasonable, especially considering the level of what’s served. The service is fast, warm, professional, and attentive. Even the bread with spreads stands out — so well made, it easily surpasses what you get at other restaurants. In short: a true gem 🫶🏻 Definitely go, order the delicious pulpo with truffle purée, take the bread, and enjoy the wine selection. We will be coming back, can’t wait for the next time!

Excellent food, amazing service, creative menu. It's not the cheapest but it's totally worth it. Each dish is beautifully presented, showing great attention to detail. The staff is attentive, friendly and always ready to recommend the best options. The atmosphere is cozy and modern, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a special or a memorable meal. Definitely a place I would come back to!

Excellent food, quality and quantity was right on and reasonable priced. Dining late at night sitting out side was a good experience with attentive and helpful staff to over come our poor Spanish (still learning). Meal was starter, main and dessert with plenty of drinks for 3 came to a total of €120. The whale sculpture can be seen from the road with plenty of parking space in front of the sculpture gardens. Will visit again. Returned a week later the food and service was as excellent as the first time, this time remembered to take photos of the food. The rustic bread was sort and fresh with olive oil coating on top very nice. Starters very taste full of flavour Steak was excellent good cut of meat and cooked perfectly.

I've been coming here for 2 years now. Always superb. Ravioli frito de yema con jamón ibérico and the zamburiñas are exquisite. Rice dishes and rib eye chuletón cooked to perfection. A wine list worth exploring. And really first rate attention by the maître d and staff. Gracias Alejandro.

We've dined here several times and always refer to it as the "Whale Restaurant" due to the huge whale sculpture outside. The setting is beautiful and it's lovey to sit outside in their garden. Staff are really friendly and helpful and the food is excellent. It's clear they really care about what they do. Paella is highly recommended

One of our favourite restaurants in Javea. Authentic Spanish cuisine and the paella is just the best. Mainly a Spanish clientele which we enjoy.

A fantastic way to spend a couple of hours over lunch, great atmosphere and very good food. Rice dishes appear to be very popular here (paella and risotto), I think you may have to pre order these but check!

12 euros for menu del dia, great value for money and high in quality considering the price.

Don't bother, our first really bad meal since we moved to Spain. All 8 of us had bad food, either they thought we were on holiday or were just not bothered as they were "closing at 5". Still presented a bill for 150 euros !!

Been here part of a large family birthday (20) group, couple or family of 4. Food and service above and beyond. Everything fresh, tasty and great value. If you dare, let them make the choices and you will dine like never before. Our go to tapas in Javea.

Lovely tapas. We had meat in a bun. Wife: “my god it’s good”.

Very nice food, just unfortunate that when we ordered coffee, as it was so strong I asked for extra milk and my daughter asked for ice to change it to a cold coffee. Having spent almost 140€ on dinner, they felt it acceptable to charge 30c for the milk and 30c fo the ice! Very sad they felt the need to do this.

We enjoyed a delicious meal of tapas as a family of 2 adults, 3 young kids. The entrecôte & fries and fried squid were very good. Staff were friendly and efficient and helped us arrange a taxi at the end of our evening. We will definitely return when next on Xabia. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Been in spain 2 years. This has to be the worse meal we've ever had. When we mentioned to the owner we didnt like he seemed very offended. Apple in the salad was mouldy, eggs uncooked in another meal, kids burgers uncooked and not what was ordered althought they then replaced with an uncooked burger that we originally ordered. Battered veg was the size of your nail. Expensive and so so poor. Will not be back.

Very juicy and tasty meat, great buns and cheese and I love their sauces. Large portions of fries for less than usual. Amazing food!

Service with a smile 😃. The girl who served us was so happy and funny as she didn't speak much English but was so friendly with a beautiful smile. The burgers were probably the best we have ever eaten and the loaded fies were gorgeous as well. The six of us were well impressed with the flavour of all the burgers and the exceptional service. 100% recommended from us.

If you like burgers, this is your place! Great variety, super friendly staff and delicious food in a very relaxed environment.

Hands-down one of my favorite spots. The burgers are insanely good, juicy, flavorful, and always fresh. The atmosphere is cozy with great decor, and the service is consistently amazing. I’ve been multiple times and it never disappoints👌🏻

Thomas was amazing, he made my experience so incredible, he made me feel like I’m eating burgers in America. Service was impecable. It’s definitely not fast food.

Best burgers in town! I love coming here and enjoy the vibe, the terrace, the tasty food… They have a great combination of ingredients for the burgers along with side dishes.

The atmosphere is cozy and family like. Some people don’t like the incense but the burgers make up for it 🤤🤤. Even the vegan burger tastes like heaven. Absolutely worth the visit!

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.

Great place for a nice cold beer 🍺 Sit outside and watch Javea go by or inside with music and plenty of laughter. Well worth a look.

Best Sports Pub in Javea....Lee and his wife and Aidan have turned it into an excellent space with a good mix of offerings for really most tastes. Well done and keep on truckin' 👍

Great Atmosphere, Best Sports Bar in Javea, sky Tv , loads of large screens, great Super league British pool table, I had an amazing smash burger.

Nice little boozer. Cheap beer 🍺, free WiFi and friendly staff. What more do you want?

Without a doubt the best sports bar in Javea. Friendly welcome. Multiple screens with all the different sporting events of the day on. Great draft larger with a vast cocktail menu. Traditional Irish pub grub at a good price.

First visit primarily to watch the new Rock Band, Splinter. Great welcome from friendly staff and fairly priced drinks. Layout is a little like a hall with tables in it but a great place for a beer nonetheless.

Watched both of the England games here. Fantastic atmosphere and the staff are super friendly. When the large crowd left the owners and staff chatted with us. Even when there is no sport to watch I think the friendly staff will create a great atmosphere playing great music

Our go to place for the best food in Javea. Lovely staff and such a great atmosphere. Thank you for always making us so welcome. 5⭐️

The Canela breakfast is an excellent traditional English Fried Brekkie, it’s cooked to order, fresh, delicious, not greasy and a generous portion. Coffee is great and it’s all served by friendly staff.

Just the best place for breakfast in the whole of Javea. Great service and good value. Highly recommended

Always a pleasure. Friendly, a lovely atmosphere, great coffee and lovely food.

Great place to relax for breakfasts to teacakes, great coffee, very friendly staff, inside & outside seating.

Nice place, but bad food like really bland. Staff were pretty rude and kinda felt a bit racist wouldn't recommend

Excellent freshly cooked food, good service and an excellent sports bar.

+Recommended! Very nice place near the beach especially for the breakfast. Polite staff, variety of cafe, tasty breakfast, sea view, place for the kids, small shop inside. When you’re in Jávea you should visit them.

We had a very tasty tapas lunch with a great view! Also the personnel is very friendly!

Greeted warmly, we enjoyed a table just by the balcony with views over Xàbia bay. The food was fresh, interesting and very tasty. The ambience and quality of the food provided for an extremely pleasant lunchtime experience.

Love this place! Good food and great Vibes! Super Nice Staff I would recommend this to people who appreciate a good coffee and nice food.

What an amazing venue, right on the ocean's edge. Today the waves were splashing onto the windows, but on other days we've been here, the sea has been still as glass. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and we have had breakfast here several times. Our favourites are the oatmeal, and the acai bowl. The coffee is great too! A truly atmospheric experience.

We’ve enjoyed a delicious breakfast here several times already at this amazing location – what a view and such friendly staff! They also have a great play area for the kids. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Not only view is stunning :) food and prices experience surprised me positively!

Great range of food, all cooked perfectly and the prices are very reasonable. Very helpful staff speaking excellent English and Spanish. Our second visit was for a takeaway which was also very good and last night we didn't want to cook, so went again. We are now greeted as friends and will go back.

The staff was so friendly and the food was so delicious! By far the best food I've ever had. Great thanks to all the staff! We were with six people including two vegetarians. There were so many dishes for them. Also very delicious. If you are in Xabia you must have had dinner here. I've been in like 15 restaurants in xabia and this restaurant is by far the best.

Excellent Indian food. Just wish they would tone down the lighting. Atmosphere is important and it's super bright. Everything else is good and we had an excellent meal.

Have just had another wonderful meal from the best Indian-Nepali Restaurant in javea The staff are the most welcoming and friendly I have come across, and go that extra mile to ensure you have a wonderful night.The meals are great value, great tasting, freshness, reasonable price, well presented and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

I found that the restaurant had moved to a new location and I had to go there as I had been going to this place for years. They have amazing and friendly staff. The food there is really good.

This place is often recommended so we gave it a visit. My main comment is the service was painfully slow and inattentive it was very difficult to get the waiters attention and in total there were 12 people in the restaurant. The food was mediocre.

We visited after seeing reviews on Trip Adviser. Gurkha Palace lived up to its excellent reputation and we had a fantastic evening out. We are both vegetarian and can struggle in Spain to find suitable food when eating out. This restaurant is definitely not a vegetarian restaurant but it has a varied range of veggie food and non-veg options. HIGHLY 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.

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.

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.

We hadn’t booked anywhere this evening and after trying a few places this was the only one that had space. We had Tequenos which were ok but were served with guacamole that was overwhelmed by the taste of onion. Patatas bravas were unlike any i have had before , more like potatoes in a sweet baked bean style tomato coating and served with aioli, unfortunately the Aioli tasted like it was made with old garlic , and did not taste nice and left a bad aftertaste. We also had padron peppers , these had been deep fried and were over cooked , soggy and just tasted of oil and for some reason were served with nacho chips. We really didn’t enjoy the food but this place does have other good reviews so perhaps we just had a really bad experience. On the plus side the beer was good although they only serve bottles not draught , and you can’t really go wrong with bottled beer. it’s not expensive and the portions size was large The location is nice but staff were not particularly friendly and we wouldn’t rush back Star rating amended as I may have been overly harsh initially

I dont know how these people got this job, pizza is disgusting. Ordered 10 pizza’s, they all tasted like they were out of the freezer without baking. Would not recommend anyone, only if you like puking.

The breakfast was lovely, but the lady serving us was not the friendliest of people I ever come across. Rolling eyes when I tried to explain what we wanted to order... Now I get it, I don't speak Spanish, but nevertheless I tried to explain in Spanish what we wanted... very slowly, possibly not all correct, but she just wouldn't try to help at all. So generally for me not the greatest of attitudes but breakfast was very good.

After 2,5 hours we have finally got our pizza’s. What a shame because our pizzas were less cooked than the boxes they came in…. Unfortunately we have to give 1 star, they don’t even deserve that, the food was crap.

Lovely restaurant, very family friendly, lovely freshly cooked food, good value for money and very tasty too. The service is really the winning part though, super helpful and patient! Visited twice in a week.

Lovely, freshly cooked food. Very generous portions. Great restaurant for the family and kids and good value for money. We had lunch one day and dinner another. Would recommend

Friendly service, great breakfast and really affordable. Seemed like a vibrant lively place popular with locals.

Very bad. Most of the times dry burgers. Always wrong orders. How can it be to put sauce on a burger? You pay for a special burger but without the sauce and extras you actually you have a fancy cheeseburger. Terrible. Dissappinted 7/10 times.

The best thing about this mc donalds is the playground. My kids love it. We also were invited to kids birthdays here 💝 and it was lovely.

Slowest drive through I’ve ever been through. On multiple occasions we sat for over 20 minutes and waited for our order with only one other car in line. Fast food should be fast. At this location it is anything but.

Worst service I ever had. Very rude lady at the car, had to go in as they wanted to overcharge and made it on purpose to not understand our spanish after letting us wait 10 minutes at the speaker. After a long while, got our food extremely cold. I've been to many mcdonalds in my life (including in spain) and this has been the worst of all. Learn how to treat your customers and if you're mad they're underpaying you, don't take it on the customers who indirectly pays your wage.

Absolutely grim, I order food it arrives and it’s the wrong order, it arrives but i specifically said no cheese and it has cheese then I take a bite and my teeth break because of how overcooked my mc chicken is (i may aswell of been crunching on gravel) relatively cheap but only good if you wish to do some teeth conditioning, the manager was quite cool.

Out of the 3 mcdonalds close to my house thisbis the worst with regards to food quality. I guess tjey only deppend on you going once as its in a beach holiday destination. Best 1 in area is Ondara Shopping center avoid this Javea version. Oh and now they charge you for ketchup. 4 cents a sachet. If They keep charging for Ketchup i will start to leave my tray on the table as they will have more than enough extra to pay staff for table cleaning the work we always as a customer were proud of

Nearly got my order right but food nice, quick and clean.

The server was just stood in the kitchen the whole time, didn’t serve 3 people that were waiting for over 5 minutes. No eye contact or apology for delay, just completely blanked us so we left as well as the other group of guests.

Love this place. Tasty food, ice cold beer, and it's cheap!

New franchise owners now . Lovely and Friendly and they speak some English which always helps if on holiday

Suited here a lot over a three month period. It is popular place with locals, especially due to the prices. £1.50 for a beer or cider. The snack bar food is cheap, most prices 1euro, so great for a cheap bite to eat to fill a gap. You will see a lot of families there because it won't break the bank. The food is as you would expect, basic. The place is a sun trap so you can sit in the sun until late. Great for me with the dog as plenty if room outside. It is self service so no table service and the staff are fantastic.

Right next yo the street is the terrasse that's not the best, but the food is delicious and drinks are good quality for the price 👌

Sundays & Wednesdays excellent value as they have a €1 menu where you can choose your roll filling from a long list. Something for everyone at just a euro a roll. Inside/outside seating. Place has a nice vibe to it.

Great value and ideal for kids. A fun way to eat-as you select a bunch of small items each, pay and then sit & wait for your buzzer to vibrate.. some items- like fries etc. are very good for the price. Cooks can be a little cantankerous if you forget your chit when collecting your food.. but overall an enjoyable place to visit. Bear in mind montaditos are essentially little sandwiches.. many options are served in small crusty rolls. You need to like carbs 😉

Solid poke bowls for the price and the best we could find in Javea! Ingredients were really fresh. I don’t give five stars because the sauce was lacking that something the best places have, I don’t know what it is. Anyways, if you enjoy poke bowls and crave for one during your visit to Javea you won’t be disappointed. Service was very nice and the place has a cool decoration.

Very flavourful poke bawl and amazing service. The young lady waitress is so attentive and polite, credit to this place. We will be coming back soon. Keep up the good work, guys!

Lovely place with a very chill vibe and decor. Great drinks selection, better than local bars for beers, and even better food. Fresh tasty ingredients prepared with care, one of my favourite places to eat healthy while also really enjoying.

Very nice food, and good local craft beers!

Good food and a nice place with cool decorations, but a bit stiff to ask for more money if you want to mix the base ingredients (rice, quinoa etc) and for what type of meat/fish you want. The soy sauce was also very salted. Other than that it was very good!

Service was fast and attentive, food was delicious and well prepared. My boyfriend ordered a large poke bowl and said it was great but a little small for a large. I ordered the vegetable & tofu ramen, great broth and ingredients however the noodles were not ramen or egg noodles, they were pasta noodles. Still tasty but if the noodles had been different would have been 10/10

Best Ramen in Javea! Nice staff and great drinks selection (nice beers and kombuchas etc), of course the poke bowl is also excellent. We love going here after a swim. 😂 We recommend it!

Fabulous pizzas & pasta to eat in or get delivered (had a pizza sat outside the restaurant yesterday [Sunday] & watched the world go by) - thanks so much Alberto, kind regards Karen & Steve

They offer vegan cheese which is nice, but the pizza was a bit tasteless. I probably won't go again.

Great pizza, lovely helpful and friendly staff.

Fantastic pizzas, really fresh ingredients thank you

Really good pizza, I go regularly.

Great pizza good service.

Quick service and good pizza

Dar Kids is an incredible venue for children's birthday celebrations! I've hosted both of my daughters' birthdays there, and it was a fantastic experience each time. The variety of activities, including soft play areas, bouncy castles and trampolines ensure that kids have a blast. The staff is super helpful and make the entire process run smoothly. I highly recommend DAR Kids for any celebration. It's an amazing place with great people!

Truly amazing. Lola the owner is a very special person and has created the most incredible environment for all the family. Our children spent all summer holiday at the camp here and couldn't get enough! Now the new soft play is off the scale and exactly what the area needed

Our boys recently attended a one-day Halloween camp at DAR, and they absolutely loved it! From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and went out of their way to make sure every child was having a great time. Our boys came home excitedly sharing stories about the games, crafts, and new friends they made. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend DAR’s camps to any family looking for a safe, fun, and memorable day for their kids.

Brought my daughter (8 months) and her cousins (7 & 10) here for an hour playtime and they all loved it, great soft play space with lots to do for the bigger girls and a soft area for the baby. Would recommend for something to do with kids in Javea on a rainy day!

Our daugther loved DAR kindergarten. It's an amazing place for kids, so many things to do and amazing staff. I absolutely recomend this place

An absolute gem in Javea for families. Our 3 young boys (age 6, 5 & 3) love coming to Dar, whether it’s to burn off some energy for an hour or for a fun-filled day at camp. Their new soft-play/ninja course is amazing and the staff are so welcoming and friendly. They have truly helped us feel like Javea is home and we are so thankful to have them close by!

The DAR kids space is a wonderful treasure behind the Montgo. Open to receive children in a vibrant and welcoming space designed just for them. This is the second time we do a drop in this month with my toddler and baby. Thank you for el your welcoming energy and offering this to the local community.
