Chabada is a beachfront restaurant and champagne bar owned by The Javea Company, known for its top-notch service. The open setting of the restaurant allows guests to enjoy a mix of indoor and outdoor seating, although it can be confusing for smokers and non-smokers. Recently renovated and expanded, Chabada now offers swanky decor, trendy eats, live music on selected nights, and even houses an in-house boutique.
Great food, good options for a group of 10 with various takes. Squid, meatballs, and the bacon Cheeseburger were all great. It's a large restaurant on the beach.

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!

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.

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!

Mediterranean restaurant
Restaurante Cala Bandida Jávea-Xàbia is a rustic-chic spot offering breakfast, seafood tapas, and cocktails with colorful bar and waterside seating. It provides fantastic views of the bay of Javea and serves modern Med-fusion food in a laid-back beachfront setting. The restaurant has become a favorite among locals and holidaymakers due to its blissful, breezy ambiance, panoramic sea views, and beautiful beachy decor.
We love the place as it has very amzing view to the beach/sea. We were lucky to get a table as a walk in guests during busy summer. The food were amazing, the staff was good. Only small hiccup to experience that my son belt was gone when he left it accidently in the toilet. Definitely not the restaurant’s fault, it was a good learning not to left anything behind. In conclusion, we will come back when we visit Javea 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!

Forbes has recognized it as one of the top 25 chiringuitos in Spain. The family-friendly establishment is perfect for enjoying meals with friends while taking in the beautiful beach views.
My go-to spot in Jávea. Peaceful and relaxing in low season, vibrant and lively in summer. Stylish design, friendly service, and a great mix of tapas — from pizza to fresh, healthy salads. Stunning sea view. I always love coming back.

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.

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

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.

The skilled chefs expertly prepare perfectly spiced meals that cater to various preferences, including hot curries. The restaurant also boasts an impressive wine list with the option of enjoying vino de la Casa.
Great food and a lot of choices for us 'non meat-eaters'. Generous servings as well; two of the three of us, brought a doggybag back home. Efficient and attentive service by smiling staff throughout the meal. I highly recommend Curry Palace. We are returning customers, were here some years ago and will come back.

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.

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.

Restaurante Tosca is a charming dining spot nestled in the picturesque coastal town of Javea, offering a delightful culinary experience that showcases the vibrant flavors of Mediterranean cuisine. Situated overlooking the sea, this restaurant has garnered popularity among both locals and visitors for its impeccable service and mouthwatering dishes. The name 'Tosca' pays homage to the region's historically mined sandstone, reflecting the team's reverence for local food and wine.
We went here last year, and again this year for my birthday and then once more, because the Sol menu changed and it is just sooo good. For me this is the best restaurant in Javea. My review is for the Sol, lunch menu (because we have a 2 year old). With what I've tasted, the love of food and ingredients shines through. Flavours are light and interesting and the service is impeccable. The lady server is lovely, can't understand a word she says but she is a ray of sunshine. Wines are also fabulous. The second time we went I paid and because I am so bad at math I undertipped a little (my husband pointed this out later and I felt horrible). We'll make that up when we come back. Thank you so much for the best food and service experience in Javea!

Not very hearty portions as one would imagine Excellent service by head of house, and secondary waiter. Ceviche de pescado was perfect with many surprising elements. I won’t give any spoilers here… Prompt attention for everything. Good wine selection with local and regional options. Very reasonably priced in relation to other places around the area. As far as seafood goes there is something here for everyone. They were even thoughtful enough to cap the dinner with a glass of moscato which is a small gesture but it does make a nice impression after a pleasant dining experience. Gracias

Beautiful patio seating available - definitely book. The food was excellent,I wouldn't usually choose the salt baked fish ,but they filet it for you in front of you ,and it was absolutely delicious. The steak was also just as good. The warm crusty bread is hard to resist, but definitely try and save room for the desserts ,the lemon meringue was really in your face lemon but if you love citrus dessert this is a must . Not the cheapest but definitely one of the best in the area.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Beach House Beach Club & Rooftop offers a boho chic terrace with stunning views, perfect for enjoying a frozen strawberry daiquiri in the warm afternoons. The bistro downstairs serves delicious Mediterranean dishes and tapas. It's open from 09:00-00:00 and is known for its high-quality English breakfast with farmer's bacon, mushrooms, and sausage.
Maybe the best place to enjoy English breakfast. Every product is of high standard. At Beach House you get real farmer's bacon, mushrooms and sausage. If you are a fan of tea, they have few but great options that comes in a large pot. We were very impressed with the high quality food and the fair prices. This is a must try place to enjoy breakfast while in Xabía. Make sure to get a table outside on the "ledge" where you will get sunlight and a perfect view of the sea.

My wife & I stopped here at the roof top restaurant to enjoy a fine meal with a couple of glasses of wine for her birthday. She had the Ragu de Bogavante & I had the Tirodito de Atun Nikkei. Both were excellent as well as the service being very attentive. Our 2 waiters made us feel at home and we enjoyed several laughs with them. It's an excellent choice with a view of the Med Sea that's incomparable, we both highly recommend this restaurant.

I have loved The Beach House style, and in particular their Rooftop Terrace, for some time now, so choosing it as our wedding venue was a simple decision. From the start, Pedro and his team were incredibly helpful, and despite two postponements (thank you Covid) they were very accommodating to us, at a time of major uncertainty for the whole hospitality sector. Natasha, their wonderful Events Planner was an absolute dream to work with, and her attention to detail had me realising aspects of the planning I hadn’t even thought of, which she then calmly and quickly dealt with. She was super helpful; kind, and thoughtful and was instrumental in so many aspects, plus I credit her with keeping me as sane as possible in the run up to the wedding! The stunning venue itself was only outshone by the INCREDIBLE service of the team on the day. The service team are the real jewels of this place!! All of our guests commented on how good they were, how attentive and professional, friendly and polite, and I only wish I had noted their names on the day to thank them personally. The food was OUTSTANDING – my husband is a professional chef of over 20years and he was blown away by how good it was, as was everyone else!! In short, if you’re considering a location wedding, I highly recommend The Beach House, with its stunning views over the bay of Javea and the entire team, who are all stars in their own right! Our heartfelt thanks to you all for helping make our big day so very special, and one we’ll never forget…..

I’m putting a 5 star because it is a good place overall but it was VERY confusing. I had reserved for the rooftop when I wanted to reserve for the ground floor, but when I wanted to reserve the ground floor this is what showed up on google yet it’s for the ROOFTOP. The food is OKAY. Nothing special. The service was okay as well- because even if they were nice there was so many things wrong. They mixed up my order, they had forgotten my food etc. It didn’t really cause us a big problem but I think it was a bit unprofessional.

La Cantina de Jávea, also known as La Lonja, is a popular spot located right in the port with direct access to the daily fish auction. Their menu boasts an impressive selection of fresh local seafood including red prawns, baby squid, wedge clams, sea urchin, octopus and various fresh local fish. The restaurant offers a casual and unpretentious atmosphere where patrons can enjoy their freshly prepared dishes while engaging with friendly and attentive service.
Tucked away the other side of the fish market! But lovely and traditional!

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.
Reggaeton R — Google review
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.

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

Ammos Jávea is a charming restaurant located on the beautiful Playa del Arenal shore. The ambiance is welcoming with soft jazz music playing in the background, creating a beach-like atmosphere with comfortable pastel-toned sofas. The restaurant offers Nespresso coffee and also provides home delivery through MontGOApp for their Ammos Restaurant menu and their own pizza delivery service called Pizza Veloce.
I opted for the classic burger accompanied by a side of fries. The burger was cooked to perfection, featuring a juicy patty nestled between fresh, toasted buns, and topped with crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and a flavorful sauce. The fries were golden and crispy, complementing the burger wonderfully.​

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 !

Always on the look out for a good local coffee house, and in Javea, this is the one. Not sure how to explain the bad reviews of this place as every time I've been the staff have been nothing but friendly and welcoming (busy yes...but not rude as some other reviewers have experienced). Coffee is great and competes with some of the best in London, nice atmosphere right on the corner and only a few minutes walk to the beach. €4 for 2 lattes what more could you want from your morning brew?

Consistently high standards of quality and service. The restaurant is always busy which speaks for itself. The Fillet Steak melts in the mouth; fresh fish was delicious. Service has been superb on each of our visits. The atmosphere is always excellent. Great value for money. Fontana will continue to be our go-to place. Highly recommended!

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.

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 restaurant offers a variety of dishes including vegetarian and gluten-free options, all prepared with authentic Himalayan spices and herbs.

We came to Jávea to get an English breakfast at Canala Cafe, but it was closed so we luckily stumbled into this delicious Indian den of iniquity. The food was fresh, spicy and served with a smile. Loved it! Even my shirt enjoyed the liberal portion of curry that was spoiled down It. 😁

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.

Restaurant
Restaurante BonAmb, short for Bon Ambient which means "good atmosphere" in Valencian, is a renowned Michelin-starred restaurant situated in Javea. The restaurant takes pride in its Mediterranean roots and focuses on incorporating the gastronomic tradition and history of the Javea area into its dishes. It sources organic fruits and vegetables sustainably from the local region to ensure freshness and quality.
Beautiful setting in Jávea area for this 2 Michelin star restaurant (as of 2024). The service is very attentive and discerning of customer needs. Creative dishes well executed and presented. A small improvement point from my experience is that several dishes felt a bit salty and flavours did not stand out. Overall a great culinary experience worth its rating.
Antonio S — Google review
This was a special occasion for me and my family. I felt let down and embarrassed that I choose to come here. Every dish was around 4-7 out of 10. Nothing spectacular. Not a single wow among our table of 4 and around 12 courses. I personally found a distinct lack of variety of texture and by the end of the meal I was tired of getting yet another fish dish in a brown sauce. A particular low light was the goat milk cheesecake with lamb sauce. It tasted worse than it sounds and yes, it came in another brown sauce. Another low was getting cold pasta. When the surely waitress asked if everything was ok I told her the dish was cold. 'Vale' (ok) was her one word response. She clearly didn't care and on one occasion was squabbling with her colleague. Not a good look for a 2 star Michelin restaurant. I'm glad most people enjoy their visit here. I did not. I won't go back and I wouldn't recommend. Easily my worst Michelin star experience. Update: the restaurant tried to get this review removed. They have not commented or apologised in anyway for the poor experience.

We had an evening reservation for 2. Arriving at the restaurant the first impression was a very warm welcome by the staff and the impeccable design of the interior and exterior. The design is very clean & focused, capturing the local esthetics perfectly in a modern style without being pretentious or overloaded at all. Before being seated we received our first amuse-bouche, an ancestral preparation of cured fish & a cucumber honey concoction - a nice touch setting expectations to experience more traditional ingredients & preparations from the region. At our table overlooking the pristine garden & sunset we were presented with the menu, giving the choice of 3 tasting menus mainly varying in number of dishes. A la carte dining choosing from the same dishes was an option. We chose the sol menu which is the ‘medium’ choice featuring 10 main dishes, 4 starters and 4 desserts plus the wine pairing. We requested a couple of changes to include dishes from the larger menu which was no issue. Service - overall we were very happy with the service receiving the right amount of attention including good explanations on the dishes without being intrusive or overbearing. Probably being a good 10-15 years younger than the normal clientele of such restaurants we felt very much welcome and appreciate the enthusiasm of the staff for the regional concept of the restaurant. Wine - due to the seafood focus of the menu, the overwhelming majority of the wines where whites, with only 3 reds. The pairings worked very well and we had a number of very original wines we would not have considered outside of such a setting. Moreover there was a number of original items like a regional sparkling sake or a wine-beer hybrid. Overall we were very happy with the wines. Food - the menu has a strong seafood focus, with the initial dishes showing strong Japanese influences which I enjoyed a lot. The only criticism is that some of the portions might be slightly too large for such an extensive menu. Especially the regional pastry dish - while enjoyable and well made - was definitely too large. A positive surprise was the Spanish caviar and sheep milk dish which to my surprise was very tasty. The mains showcased local ingredients very well and overall with the standouts being the cured tuna & iberico, the radish with egg yolk, the sepia noodles as well as the lamb belly. The dessert taco (pumpkin&sweet potatoe mouse with passion fruit & yuzu) was fantastic and a perfect refreshing bite. The peach mousse with yuzu sorbet was one of our favorite dishes of the meal. Unfortunately the almond cake was not overly inventive or special and a bit of a low point compared to the previous two very amazing dishes. The macaroons were a nice finish to be paired with a coffee or digestive. Overall the meal progression was quite good with the above criticism of some of the earlier dishes being a bit on the heavy/large portion side. Taste and preparation was excellent throughout which is to be expected at this level and - except for one or two dishes - everything was very inventive and unique and along a clear philosophy to be very true to the regional traditional foods and preparation methods while pushing the innovation by introducing Japanese flavors and techniques in a sensible and respectful manner. The price tag including menus, wines, water & aperitif and coffee was around 430 euro for 2 which we considered a fair price given quality of food &service. Overall we can only recommended this restaurant, it was a very good experience start to finish and we left the restaurant after 3.5 hrs very full & happy. When we come back to the region we will definitely visit again.

We could not have enjoyed ourselves more. Every moment of your time at BonAmb is thought out. From parking under the orange trees, to the champagne greeting. We were treated at everyone moment of the evening and I could not be more thankful. The staff is kind, the sommelier made the dishes (somehow) even better. Thank you all for such a great experience.

This is probably one of best fish-based tasting menus you can have around the world.

Investing in this experience is something you will not regret but remember 😃

4th Michelin stop in our little gastronomic tour on the Spanish east coast. Have a look at other reviews to compare and follow the challenges with my lists. What’s extraordinary here? Usually, I’m looking for what’s interesting but here it’s extraordinary. First, a bit of context, in gastronomy, there’s this concept of « Alliance terre mer « (matching food from earth and the sea). It’s a big thing, and most of the 2 and 3 stars try to have at least a dish where they showcase that they master it. I highly suspect that’s a criteria to go from 2 to 3. Especially in France. One of the reasons it’s a really big thing is because you can have a dish with a wider specter in terms of aroma, but you need to match stuff that are really difficult to balance. Well, you’re in the house of one of (if not The) the master of this delicate Art. And I’ve tried a lot of Michelin (most of them, I did not publish a review), so I’m writing with some background here. The craziest is that the chef is a natural. I don’t think he’s thinking of doing it consciously. No, it’s just natural for him. How can I be so sure? Well, two reasons : it’s in the roots and got a tip! The tip came from the right arm of the chef (le second). We had the chance to chat a little bit (she’s French, that helped me..), and during the chat I had a glimpse of the chef creative process. That’s my tip. It has to feel right. And to feel right, it has to be rooted. Which brings me to the second and the main point, it’s in their roots. I had the chance to chat (yes, I do like a lot to speak with the staff… I’m a nightmare!) with the co owner Pablo Catalá, and it stroke me. Pablo was explaining that people around here were working the earth during the days (cherishing their winter tomatoes, etc…) and fishing at night (they have their own techniques). That’s who they are. That’s the chef, Alberto Ferruz , and the co owner, Pablo. That’s the key to understand their food. It’s not instinctive, it’s their culture so deeply rooted that it feels natural. Hence this seemingly unnatural capacity to associate ingredients from the land and from the sea. I did not mention the staff because I was mesmerized by Pablo stories, but he has a great brigade de salle. In my book, it’s a top tiers two stars pushing to three stars, especially since the price point give them margin to grow.

Impressive and absolutely brilliant restaurant. One really can't understand why BonAmb does not qualify to be a top ranking restaurant globally, as it has everything and more to succeed: a beautiful and modern setting, an attentive and exquisite staff, and the most important of all, a menu to impress you. Chef Ferruz and his formidable team are masters of textures. Whether it's the use of vegetables, shellfish, fish or meat, it is a festival of flavor, texture and taste. Pure and constant display of mastery that brings back old techniques to marry them with modernity. I didn't expect this level of perfection and was truly blown away to become a dedicated fan of BonAmb.

Great flavour and texture combinations danced across the pallet with every course. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable and the ambiance was second to none. The restaurant isn’t large but that adds to the intimate atmosphere. Volta i Volta is highly recommended and we’ll be back dining here again soon.

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 😊

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
