We have been here twice in the last 2 weeks whilst out in javea, the patatas bravas and cornflake chicken are great as usual,the first time the other dishes we had was not so good, no pate or pickles with the cheese and just a steak,however 2nd visit all the dishes was excellent, melted cheese with honey on and thin steak with egg and potatoes lovely atmosphere and friendly staff who try to sing along with the songs,excellent value,wine only €11 a bottle, will visit again next year
Always amazing! Any dish I haver ever tried has ever dissapoint. Always well presented, and taste it, very taste it! Miguel has a wicked personality and makes you feel extremely welcome! Great team with the chef and lovely waiter! Its a must try!!
A truly unique gem with its own special charm, nestled in the heart of Jávea’s Old Town. This cozy little spot immediately welcomes you with a warm, inviting atmosphere steeped in history. Miguel, the owner, is a remarkable host—passionate about food and dedicated to creating a memorable experience for every guest. There’s no printed menu here. Instead, Miguel arrives at your table with his blackboard, enthusiastically explaining the evening’s offerings. His multilingual charm puts everyone at ease, making you feel like a guest in his home. The dishes change daily, depending on the freshest local ingredients sourced from the market. Expect an array of delicious starters, mains, and desserts, all crafted with authenticity and care. The wine list is equally impressive and reasonably priced. The quality, flavor, and presentation of the food are truly something to remember—each dish bursting with freshness and character. As the evening unfolds, the atmosphere becomes magical. At one point, Miguel may even start singing, and soon, the whole restaurant joins in. It’s a moment of pure joy, with an infectious energy that stays with you long after. Getting a table can be tricky, as the place is often fully booked—but trust me, this is a must-visit if you’re coming to Jávea. Miguel, thank you for yet another unforgettable evening.
A gem of a restaurant. Great food with excellent service. I think the menu changes regularly due to local ingredients, which only adds to the experience. Portion sizes are generous but ask the waiter for advice. You can always add another course later. The house wine was good value.
