It was our first night in Javea and this family restaurant was recommended by a friend. First off, the view from the restaurant is breathtaking. We were seated in the terrace overlooking the beach, definitely the best spot to enjoy sunset views with your dinner. We got a warm welcome from the staff, as if we were regulars already, making effort to make us feel at home with their recommendations and great sense of humor. For the food, instead of choosing ourselves, we let them surprise us and indeed we were! We didn’t opt for a menu but it was simply tapas served after another (with some mains for sharing). We started with the russian salad, which had a very nice aioli dip, to prepare us for the star(s) of the show. Afterwards came the grilled calamari and grilled cuttlefish, both so soft and with the same salsa verde which was just enough not to overpower the fresh flavor of the seafood! Then they served the clams, mussels, and gambas which are classics we enjoyed, while the clams and mussels didn’t leave much of an impression, the gambas however were so big and juicy! We couldn’t resist dipping our bread in the ‘sauce’ afterwards because it’s so good. The real show stealer was the grilled octopus served on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes. We loved everything about this dish, how perfectly grilled it was, tender, lightly seasoned not to overpower its taste and just the right amount of char! I still dream about this to this day. To end the meal, we got what seemed like a tasting platter of all their desserts. I love how they elevated the so called ‘basics’. My personal favorite was the white chocolate pannacotta with just the right amount of sweetness. The fig pudding was also delicious, specially the sauce! We will definitely come back here again when we’re in the area and I will recommend this to everyone who’s visiting Javea! Such a great experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I can’t understand why there weren’t more people here for lunch on a Friday. We had a delicious paella and the staff were very good. Also great views of the sea!
