Nearest for a great range of food – snacks – drinks – just 3 minutes walk down the hill from the apartment is Giromondos. Adjacent to tennis courts and riding stables. Great food, tapas, pizzas, salads or full meal. Free wi-fi. https://www.facebook.com/Nuevo-Giramondo-La-Sella-377651725582720/
Our favourite restaurant is: Restaurante COVA del MERO, Denia : Magnificent fish restaurant right on beech. From the apartment head straight to sea through La Xara. Just keep going until you hit the sea. Or from Denia harbour take coast road northwards through Las Marinas to the 5km stone, turn right at traffic light (modern sculpture on far left corner), drive right to beach (do not go on beach with car), turn left for 100yds. Menus del dia €16, 20 & 22. Their speciality is Llandete – fish dish with potato (to be booked in advance). Must book. Tel : 96 578.4864 / open daily. They do not speak English but they will understand. Book the table you want. Normally they don’t start serving lunch until 1.30 at the earliest. After lunch – probably about 4pm -its best to spend the rest of the day on the beech till 7 or so!!!https://www.google.com/maps/place/Restaurante+la+cova+del+mero/@38.8600876,0.0519063,15.39z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0000000000000000:0x8a371f985f1f5667?hl=en-GB
Restaurante Armell: This very inexpensive restaurant is a 20 minute walk into the orange groves. Great value “menu del dia” starting at €10 with wine and three courses. You really don’t need anything other than the menu del dia – fantastic lamb chops cooked on the open fire – ask for a special brandy at the end of the meal! Not open on a Wednesday
Restaurante LE GOURMAND : On the left towards Havea a few kms past Marriot. Carretera Jesús Pobre 202. Admired amongst serious eaters. Booking essential ! For summer there is a large (mostly muzak-free) covered area in the garden. Gastronauts should note they have occasional jazz evenings. Menu-del-día €17.50. Tel: 96 628.9686 / f. Monday / http://www.legourmandrestaurant.es
Golf clubs around Denia are worth trying for food as they are reasonably priced – you don’t need to be playing golf.
La Sella Golf Club is just round the corner http://www.lasellagolf.com/en/hoyo-19/
Restaurante GOLF CLUB (Jávea) : The menu-del-dia at €18 is truly astonishing and if this isn’t, for a single example, the most wonderful Gazpacho of all time then you must write and tell us. The à la carte menu is reasonably priced. The view across to Montgó from the muzak-free terrace is sensational.

Restaurante AMANECER : c.300m on the right, along the ridge of the headland going to the Cabo San Antonio (off the summit of the Jávea-Denia mountain road – the fire got rather close !!).

During their recent visit to Jávea the Southampton University Symphony Orch. spent the whole afternoon here and all spoke very highly of how well they’d been looked after. If you, or your relatives, do not have a swimming pool here is a place to have lunch and spend the afternoon (with the grandchildren ?).

Consumers / lovers of quality bread should note :
“The flour used in the “Mie’Nutie” is Durum wheat. It has a high protein content although unusual in that, inspite of this, it is low in gluten. It is also very good for one’s heart, blood circulation, transit, and is full of oligo elements. The flour we use has been perfected after 12 years’ research by INRA (Institut International de Recherche Agricole) and Antoine Barnabé, from the ‘Toulousain des farines’. It is organic, with no additives, nor GMOs. The bread, “Mie’nutie” has over 100% water content (it can go up to 115%) – which renders it edible for more than 48 hours.
When we were authorized to produce this bread there were only 7 other bakeries in the world producing the Mie’Nutie. There are now 10 or so but only 2 in Spain – one in Barcelona and La Baguette in Jávea. The bread has a lovely golden colour. The taste is rich and full of bread flavour. It tastes like REAL BREAD. Come and see for yourselves ! You can find more information at the following links” :-

Tel : 96 579.1466 / www.elparisien.com
EASTERN RESTAURANTS (Jávea) :
INDIAN RESTAURANTS
< N.B. NEPALESE RESTAURANTS >
Being largely ignorant of Indian cuisine we have wondered why these next three restaurants are talked about over and above all other (Indian? style) restaurants and two are listed at Trip Advisor higher than the other Indian restaurants. We can only assume it must be the Nepalese influence and the reputation of Northern Indian cuisine ! Go and try them.
Restaurante BUDDHA PALACE : Arenal – opposite former Banca March & tennis club. Always a most enjoyable experience and the “bush telegraph” tells us that this is the place to go !
Tel: 96 579 2894 / E-mail: buddhapalace1@gmail.com / Open: tlj
Restaurante GURKHA PALACE : Avda. Jaime 1, No.8 in Jávea port. Fine food with good ambience. Take away service. Menus del dia : €9.50 & €11.99 A la carte €20-30.

Restaurante EVEREST SPICE (previously Riu Rau) (Costa Nova): Another Nepalese restaurant with charming décor; top of road up from Saladar to Costa Nova Panorama just after hairpin bend on the road towards La Guardia and Granadella (just after the closed kindergarten). Pleasant atmosphere & beautiful gardens. Good reports but slow service – although their take-away service is highly recommended).
Tel : 96 577.0230 /
Restaurante TAJ MAHAL : Has returned to its former position overlooking the large car park at Jávea’s Arenal beach after a refurbishment. Was formerly recommended – we hope it’ll be so again ! f. Tues midday. Comments welcome.
Tel: 96 647.1684
INDONESIAN
TAPINDO (& “Take-Away”) : In the last row of shops on the right side as you leave Arenal shopping area towards Mercadona. Produces excellent Indonesian food (especially Bami Goreng & Nasi Goreng). All sorts of combinations can be served to take home although there are facilities for eating on their terrace. Ideal for the hungry !
Tel: 96 646.4191 / f.Sun.
CHINESE –
Restaurante < The WOK BUFFET > : Jávea, at the Barclays roundabout. Very good for families and now with an extensive choice of shellfish included in their bargain price. Eat all you like for €9.95 (special price for kids under 7). Go early (12:30h for lunch, 19:30h for dinner) when the huge spread is at its best. Attentive service. No muzak. A bit of a “canteen” ambience but this is a great quality “fill-up” if you are hungry and feeding hordes of kids.
Tel : 96 579.7016 / daily 12-24h.
Restaurante (the 5-star) BENI ASIA***** !! : On right side of the Cumbre del Sol road which leads off Benitachell high street (left at traffic lights just after Mas-y-Mas). This is regarded by very many (including your writer) as the best Chinese restaurant in the whole area, lead by the charming owner, Fan-Fan. Visiting residents of Singapore and Hong Kong have strongly confirmed this view. Peking Duck a speciality – of course ! Every dish tastes different and the food is free of MSG. Take a group of 6 people and order these dishes : 10, 24, 34, 51, 54, 70, 89, 99 & 121 and then tell us that wasn’t the best chinese meal of the year ??
Tel: 96 649.4042 / fanfan@beniasia.com
Bar/Restaurante LAS OLAS : HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED …… why there are always so many cars outside the Bar LAS OLAS (on the Cabo de la Nao road, on the right, half way between Barclays and the Ferreteria PLA48) ? Well, go and discover it for yourselves. Here is, indeed, a real surprise. A huge range of really good, copious tapas far cheaper than the Arenal beach front ! The size of the portions means this is perhaps 50% of the cost of the beach establishments ? Be careful how much you order – you may not be able to finish. Ideal for hungry kids ! Clean tables, good service, bi-lingual menu. TV inside but mostly quiet outside.
Tel: 96 577.0175

CHANGE of OWNERSHIP
Restaurante LA SERENNA : Avda.Madrid 28, Moraira. Opp. the La Senieta concert hall on the corner of the huge car park in Moraira. Has already provoked favourable reports. Must book at weekends. Comments please ?
Tel: 96 574 3193 / f. Monday all day
Restaurante CA’PEPE : Here is some excellent news. We have never ceased to praise the excellent food at this establishment but have commented on unacceptable muzak. Well, we now have good news for you ! Recently “gastronaut” PN wrote : We had a delightful meal – indeed it was amazing, although we cannot understand why they charge extra for bread ! Friendly staff, great atmosphere. All dishes were 1st class and when asked if the “music” could be turned down it was promptly turned OFF ! Further positive comments, on their now subdued muzak, have followed this – let’s hope they stick with it ? Here you will find an unparalleled Menu del día – do go and try it. Bravo ! We are delighted to welcome them back !

VALENCIA – 5 outstanding features (see further listing for Valencia at the end) :
Restaurante RIFF : Now with a Michelin star. Gastro-menu at €85. Midday menu of €30+. Conde de Altea 18, 46005 Valencia.
Tel : 96 333 5353 / Mob.671 875975 / f. Aug. & Sun/Mon. / www.restaurante-riff.com / restaurante@restaurante-riff.com
RESTAURANTE EL ASADOR de ARANDA : Felix Pizcueta 8, 46004 Valencia. This restaurant now replaces the previously listed Tronco Segoviano as reports suggested the latter has “lost their way”. A principal speciality here is the traditional roasted suckling pig of Segovia. Also specializes in roast lamb cooked in a clay oven. An unique, delicious and wonderful experience !
Tel: 96 352 9791 / Web : http://www.asadordearanda.com/
Restaurante PALACIO DE LA BELLOTA (Mosén Femades 7, Valencia – in a small street opp. the bull ring). This restaurant simply oozes professionalism and a profound worshipping of ham and pork which draws one in with anticipation ! You’ll not be disappointed. No menu del día. Not cheap.
Tel: 96 351.4994 / f. Sunday
E-mail : restaurante@palaciodelabellota.es
Web: www.palaciodelabellota.es/introduccion_ing.html
Restaurantes GENUINA (lunch time only) & CANYES : These excellent “sister” restaurants are in the main street – C/ del Riu – of the small village of Pinedo which lies close to the spaghetti junction at the end of the Saler motorway on the south side of the “drain” where it empties into the sea and right opp. the VLC port area. They are both decorated with old ceramic tiles and specialise in the great peasant cooking of the Valencian region. The most notable reason for visiting them is to discover < Fesol-i-naps** > the “wet” rice dish made with duck and served in a tureen with its copious and delicious sauce. This cuisine needs a good appetite and deserves much wider recognition and we recommend a trip to this area when visiting Valencia. Easy parking.
Tel: Genuina (see photo) 96 324.8663 & Canyes (Tel: 96 324.9085) (best to book) / http://comersinmilongas.com/ (a useful website for Valencia)
… el arroz de pato** exquisito, pero cualquier arroz lo bordan; al horno, paella, a banda, de cangrejo o el meloso de bogavante. Platos tan típicos que muchos valencianos ni conocen, como me pasó a mi con los postres…
RE-ENTRY (& change of address)
Restaurante : BEIRUT KING : Paseo de la Alameda 50. Gastronauts will be pleased to learn that this excellent little Lebanese restaurant has moved further down the road quite close to the Corte Ingles roundabout (on the opp. side to the opera house). Enjoy properly made hommos, mtabel (babaghanoush), tabbouleh and lamb sharwama as well as the delicious fatoush (salad). Open tlj (+ takeaway service).
Tel. 96 330 5763 / E-mail: info@beirutking.es / www.beirutking.es
BENISSA :
Restaurante CASA CANTO (Benissa) : The top restaurant in Benissa and very highly regarded (on left, in last block of the town going southwards to Calpe). Will provide free car (both ways) for min. 4 clients within 25km. Up-to-date comments needed, please.
Tel : 96 573.0629/ f. Sun http://www.casacanto.com/
Restaurante PEDRAMALA : Carretera La Fustera, 03720 Benissa. Run by two Germans this is regarded as the best restaurant in the Benissa area. Booking essential. Report received from I.F. : Generous portions, always nicely presented and well prepared in line with the guest’s wishes and with a fresh salad as part of the course. Prices might be somewhat higher than the average but quality, quantity and presentation easily make up it. We never take the menu-del-dia anywhere and normally pay around €60 for two courses and a bottle of wine. The wine list is normal with nothing particularly expensive and Bernhardt (Berndt) and Christian (German of Italian and Greek parents) always take very good care of their guests. And to one’s great relief, there is no muzak !
Tel: 96 574 8315 / f.Monday; lunches not served in summer. http://www.restaurantepedramala.com/
FISH (from Euros 25.00 per head) :
Restaurante AMARRE 152 (Jávea) : literally “Mooring 152”, tranquil situation by the bobbing boats at the very head of the mooring creek that goes inland from the Parador. Menus del dia €18 & 20 (fish). Excellent for rice/fish dishes. A recent visit showed them on top form.
Tel : 96 579.0629 / f. Monday
http://www.verema.com/restaurantes/36008-amarre-152-xabia-javea
AND NOW – a sister establishment to Amarre 152 :
AMARRE TAPAS : Along the Jávea seafront nearly opposite La Siesta. New reports reaching us. Comments welcome please.
AND A NEW TIP OFF : For an excellent FISH & CHIPS try THE INN on the GREEN (Bowling Club on Benitachell road) !!
Restaurante LA CALETA : Avda.Ultramar 114, Jávea (Cala Blanca). Closes end Sept. for the winter.
Restaurante LA CANTINA DE JAVEA : Situate right in front of the fishing fleet in Jávea’s port (on the ground floor right around the back – left side – of the one storey building by the fishing boats). Clientele is very Spanish. They are often very busy so you must go early (say 12:30h). Very good prices. Their fish menus consist of the catches of the day. They are serving all day long (and even after the cinema).
Tel: 96 579 2190 / open tlj : 7/7.
Restaurante SUR : …at the beautiful Granadella creek (down off the Cabo de la Nao and the No.1 beach of the Marina Alta); certainly the best fish restaurant in Jávea (they own their own boat and sometimes have an extraordinary variety !). Our absolute favourite for fish and a beautiful location. Sensational puds ! Highly rated (7½/10) in Spain’s Gastronomía Guide. Best to book.
Tel : 96 577.1612 / July/Aug daily 10-23h / otherwise open lunch only (closed mid-Dec – end Feb). http://www.restaurantesur.com/
RESTAURANT – A truly exceptional item :
Restaurante LES FOUGES (fish restaurant and delicatessen & retail fish shop) : Cami Paellero 3, Moraira (drive south from Moraira – on the right side before Pepe la Sal).
We think that the re-location and enlargement of this fish shop and restaurant to the coast road just south of Moraira is the most exciting gastro-event of the year; uniquely here is a fish shop attached to a restaurant (or vice versa !). This marvellous French family-run operation offers a huge range of fish and shell fish as well as the best selection of French cheeses you’ve seen anywhere in Spain (incl. the divine Boursault) …. and a marvellous range of delicious pâtisseries, tartelettes & gâteaux, patés, terrines, French tinned/bottled specialities and French bread. In a separate room are 6 tanks of lobsters ! Also on offer are scallops, fresh haddock, skate, cabillaud/cod, lubina, dorada, oysters, potted shrimps, tarama (French – excellent but stronger than the UK version) and many other sorts of fish and fruits de mer – the range is huge). Sometimes they have whole kippers (often out of stock – Attention, Frank, s’il vous plaît !). Reports are reaching us of their service being occasionally under strain.
Guests must first choose their meal in the shop. It is then transferred to the kitchens for preparation. They also serve meat and look after veggies !!
The wine list is the most astonishing we have seen anywhere – especially of French wines – because they are at amazing prices (same at retail as at the table – a Pouilly Fuissé at €14). They tell us they are starting to open on some evenings. Best arrange a driver to take you home. Booking is essential as, no surprise, it is full most of the time !!
Tel: 678 488895 / f. Sunday p.m. & Monday otherwise open 10:00 – 18:00h
E-mail: franck@lesfouges.com / www.lesfouges.com
Restaurante PISCIS : C/Marjeleta 10, Moraira : off the palm-tree’d avenue towards sea, turning off on left and a few mins. from main car park). Recent comments received indicate that this is still one of the finest creative haute cuisine fish restaurants of the region. No menu del día.
Tel : 96 649.0616 / f. Sunday / http://piscis.restaurantesok.com/aquiok/detallrest.jsp?id=446&prov=Alicante
At CALPE’s (fishing) HARBOUR : The harbour at CALPE is a great place (sic) for fish ! Any restaurant will entice you in with marvellous displays of fresh fish. There is nothing like this anywhere else we know of (except Dubai !). Strongly recommended.
FISH ITEM (retail) !
Outside the Ermita supermarket (by the little church on the Jávea to Jesús Pobre road) at 10:00h on a Saturday morning is to be found an enterprising Dutchman (Arjen) who is selling fresh martjes, smoked eel, roll-mops, smoked mackerel, buckling (a herring smoked whole – as opposed to kippers which are smoked flat), smoked trout and potted shrimps ……. AND (only to order) fresh/frozen HERRINGS (mostly with their roes – and at €1.25 each). When did you last enjoy a fresh herring ? Surely the most marvellous of fishes ?
Orders to : 667 997300 (every Sat. morning from 10:00h) or argentocorazon@gmail.com
[ and inside this supermarket, at Xavi’s excellent meat counter, can be found the very best STILTON in the area ].
Arjen is in MORAIRA on Thursdays 10 – 14h at Tabaira – Palco.
INCODNITO < Fish ‘n’ Chips > : Jávea, Arenal beach, on main car park. It is not usual for such an establishment to find its way onto this list but it has proved to be very reliable with both fresh fish and chips of excellent quality.
Tel : 96 577.0068 / f. Sunday.
PEDREGUER :
SOMETHING REALLY OUT OF THE ORDINARY :
Restaurante CASA CALLEJA
In a cave beside the Cueva de las Calaveras, Ctra. de Pedreguer, Benidoleig.

E-mail bookings to : info@casacalleja.es / http://www.casacalleja.es/index.html
Restaurante CAL BLANC MENJARS : C/Cova Santa 2, Pedreguer. We have just received a sensational and detailed write up of this establishment which confirms all we have been hearing about it. Menu-del-dia €16 (Sundays €22) – so get going to this (less than glamorous) town and try it out !! Muzak not intrusive. Park round the back road near the school and cemetery and walk through the lanes. No more than 10 minutes.

Tel : 96 642.4478 / open daily / info@laseudenia.com / Web : http://www.laseu.es/
Restaurante PANTERRI : C/ Diana 2, Denia (walk up Marques de Campo from the sea; last street on the right before the Glorieta): The highest quality, and most wonderful, tapas we know. Must book at least 3 days in advance.

Restaurante PEIX i BRASES : Denia ; drive north on sea front and go left at last roundabout into Plaza Benidorm). Recommend 4-course midday menu-del-día on the ground floor. Pavement tables available in good weather. Their upstairs restaurant is reported to be top quality (but very expensive). Warning : pay attention whether things they bring you, which you didn’t ask for, are free or not ! Cuisine is original and of high quality – as well as excellently presented. (This entry sent in by a reader; slightly edited – we await further comments).
Tel: 96 578 5083 / denia@peixibrases.com / www.peixibrases.com
Restaurante REPUBLIC DENIA : Attractive location at the end of the southern breakwater of Denia Harbour. We are receiving regular comments praising this Dutch owned restaurant. Screens are available for sport so best check before you go although this suggests that muzak could be a problem here ? We hope to clarify this shortly. Attractively constructed and priced menu-del-dia.
Tel: 96 643 0123. Excellent website www.republicdenia.com info@republicdenia.com
Restaurante SAL de MAR (Denia) : In the Hotel Posada del Mar, Plaza Drassanes on the front of Denia port. Won “Best New Restaurant in Spain Award 2006”. With muzak. Menu del dia c.€16.50. Main courses c.€15-24;
Tel : 96 642.7766 / f. Tues / Web: www.saldemar.net
Restaurante LA SENIA : Avenida del Cid 3 (in Hotel Nou Roma, close under the castle walls on the inland side). Reports indicate this to have been a serious omission from the listing. We await our first visit (and your comments, please !).
Tel: 96 643.2843 / www.restaurantelasenia.net / E-mail: info@restaurantelasenia.net
Restaurante VENTA de POSA : On the road out of Denia to the Marriott Hotel & Jesús Pobre. We have been delighted to have rediscovered this old coaching inn and for a real Spanish experience this takes some beating. Preceded by an excellent salad and 2-3 other starters – and then a rice-based soup – the excellent daily dish that follows forms the centre of their delicious menu-del-dia at about €11.50 ! In terms of Spanish food this is almost unparalled in regard to quantity, quality and value. Many menus from €11.50 to €18.50 upwards. Pleasant service. No muzak. Their sister restaurant in Denia <Drassanes> specialises in fish (please access info via their website).
Tel: 96 578.4672 / f. midday Tues-Wed-Thurs.

JESUS POBRE
Restaurante LA TASCA : Charming Italian owner – set in an attractive courtyard. Portions tend to be small so this restaurant isn’t cheap (€140 for 4). As it was full we found the service under strain. There is musak but, mercifully, not in the courtyard. The lentil soup was superb. Renowned for meat cooked on an open-grilled fire yet all choices were reasonably priced but were all of cheaper cuts except for the CHULETON (T-bone) at €35/kg and this is the reason for going to La Tasca ! Great crêpes but the Panacotta was tiny and inadequate. Well-heeled clientele. Approaching Jesus Pobre from the Jávea-Gata road take the 2nd left before entering the village and it is on the left corner at the top of this short street. English spoken. Must book.
Tel: 96 575.6285.
UP INTO THE MOUNTAINS : Our beautiful, mountainous inland region (recommended trips) – always best to book
NOT TO BE MISSED
Restaurante CA L’ANGELES : C/ Gabriel Miró 12, Polop; just along the La Nucia road from the roundabout at the bottom of the road up to Guadalest. Take Altea exit from AP7 then drive via Callosa to Polop. If you visit Guadalest then this is where you have lunch !! We returned here recently, after a long absence, and were delighted to find this wonderful restaurant thriving (in spite of the crisis) – and full of discerning gastronauts !
The impeccably mannered and charming patron (Paco) speaks beautiful Spanish and is a great host. Delightful, high quality, original Spanish cuisine and one of our top favourites (now strongly re-confirmed) and providing a truly Spanish gastronomic experience with wines lovingly introduced by Paco (especially Enrique Mendozas from Alfaz). Worth the trip (vaut le détour) as they say in Michelin ! Classed at 7½ out of 10 in Spanish Gastronomía Guide. Muzak with some character (ask to turn it down).
http://calangels.net / E-mail: info@calangels.net
Tel : 96 587.0226 / f. Tues
Restaurante SA CANTERELLA (Tarbena – leaving the town on the road to La Nucia): Unique restaurant devoted to game (pheasant, rabbit, hare, partridge, quail, deer, wild boar etc…) all based on fixed menu del días and priced according to the game chosen. The meal starts with a huge bowl of delicious French-style vegetable soup. From €20-€27. Offers dramatic mountain panoramas. Tel : 96 588.4062 / f. Sat.
Restaurante CORRAL del PATO (“The Duck’s Corral”) : A favourite. Just outside Gata on Lliber-Jalón road. Very good Valencian cuisine with popular menu; speciality of duck & roast leg of lamb (must be ordered in advance and thus booking is essential). Eat in garden under huge carob tree. Recent very good reports (May ’14). Recommended. Muzak-free.
Tel : 96 575.6834 / f. Mon.
Restaurante L’ERA (PAELLA) : This is regarded as the No.1 paella restaurant of the whole Marina Alta !! Through Jalón village, then turn left at Alcalali T-junction & follow signs for Parcent. In the old part of this small village. Paella is a dish for a social event (and only eaten by Spaniards at midday) so best to be hungry and to go in a group. Booking essential. Tel : 96 640.5298 / f. Wed.
Restaurante MASEROF : Close to Los Pinos (above Jalón, now written Xaló to ensure tourists have no idea where they are !!) and next door to the excellent Verd i Vent (see below). Take N332 – Benissa towards Calpe – turn right towards Jalón (Xaló !) just beyond Benissa’s town limits and continue on this road until the outskirts of Jalón where you turn left up beside the petrol station. At the end of this narrow lane, turn left onto the road that takes you up to Bernia and some 10 minutes or 5 km later you will arrive at Maserof (& Verd i Vent (see below)). The bodega/restaurant is immediately on the left as you arrive at this collection of buildings. Very difficult to miss !
Well there’s nothing like competition ! We were at Maserof on Easter Sunday and enjoyed a remarkable 5-course set lunch for €29 which included salad of gambas, a mushroom and vegetable vol-au-vent and a superb soupe de cêpes all with a very “friendly” house red in front of a roaring log fire ! Terrific value and a wonderful first visit.
Tel: 96 578 5776 (Dalila) & 96 642 5263 (Luisa) (Carol: 687 722451) (Open Sat. & Sun. only) (must telephone to check they are open and to book – better still ask to go on their mailing list).

Restaurante PEPE (Alcalali) : Go through Jalón and on to Alcalali and turn right at T-junction. Go straight on then 200m on left; or drive up from Pedreguer (better road) and it lies on your right as you approach Alcalali. Much loved restaurant and Spanish-owned (Pepe lived many years in UK) – serves the most excellent steak & kidney pie and British roasts. Famous throughout the region ! Excellent Christmas lunches. Always busy. Best to book.
Tel : 96 648.2456 / f. Sun.pm & Mon
Restaurante LA RATATOUILLE : At Sanet y Negrals, C/Mayor 14 (on the road from Beniarbeig to Benimeli). The German owners, Timo Kaiser & Gesine Janasik, formerly ran a successful Las Marinas restaurant. Their clients followed them and now there is a new clientele – so it is best to book ! They take loving pride in both cooking & presentation, and they now have muzak (but very quiet !). Web shows restaurant of great elegance. Menu-del-día €15.
Tel: 96 640.8326 / Lunch: 13-15h, evenings from 19h/ f. Sun.pm & Mon. / www.laratatouille.es / E-mail: info@laratatouille.es
Restaurante DEL RAVAL : Benissiva, round behind the church. An absolute treasure and another great gastronomic trip into the mountains (on the Val de la Gallinera road from Pego to Alcoy). Classed at 7½ out of 10 in Spanish Gastronomía Guide. Muzak turned off on request. Booking essential.

Restaurante VALL DEL POP : Atop the hill over-looking Lliber and the Jalon valley on the Gata-Lliber road (before you drop down to Lliber). We were reminded just recently of the excellent meat offered here (incl. grilled kidneys as a ‘starter’ !) all cooked “a la brasa”. Our return visit was enjoyed in a good friendly atmosphere (no muzak). Very reasonable prices and the pool is available for guests.
