Bright modern space. Bright welcome. Modern menu. Tuesday night relatively busy, nice atmosphere. Very interesting menu with many innovative dishes. Wine list sensibly priced. All four of us delighted with our various choices but special mention of cheese soufflé, Moorish lamb and crepes Suzette. All in all a lovely dining out experience.

Having thoroughly enjoyed the take-away meals we had, at a very reasonable price,from La Cocina,we decided to take a punt and give it a whirl for our final meal in Javea. In gambling terms,"some you win & some you lose."This is a definite winner and for anyone reading this review,take it from me there is no gamble in eating here.... More

It is so good to read that you enjoyed our wine list as Cliff puts so much effort into choosing the wines trying to find the best wines from each grape variety.....he also spends time researching comments from Robert Parker and the Spanish Guia Penin to help customers choose a wine that they might not have looked at before.

We have not been in Javea for about 15 months. When we do go we invariably make sure we visit this restaurant but did wonder whether, after such a long time, it would be as good. It was superb as usual - menu has a great mix of dishes with British Spanish and in some dishes North African influences and... More

Love this restaurant - it's a place that my husband and I just look forward to going to. We had a warm welcome from Laurie when we arrived (we had booked for 8pm). The outside patio area was not open due to the cool weather, but the inside area is very welcoming. My husband had the homemade meditteranean style bread... More

Fantastically prepared and presented food, served by attentive staff. Great choice of starters, mains & desserts. Clean & well decorated restaurant. A well-earned 5-Star rating. [And no-more expensive' than some of the sea-front restaurants, either.]

We really enjoyed our pre-theatre meal. Menu was designed to go with the performance which made it fun. Would have liked to try some of the frozen meals that you can take away but it was near the end of our holiday in Javea. Would definitely recommend, great value, especially for pre-theatre.

Enjoyed a three-course pre-theatre meal Saturday 20th April 2013. Service, ambience, food all get ten out of ten from us. We were staying in a villa some 15km away and so tried their pre-cooked frozen meals for our last night's stay. Again, superb and fantastic value at a mere €5/6 each. A must-visit, classy restaurant with very reasonable prices.
