La Bodeguilla — Restaurant in Xàbia / Jávea

This place is a gem! Excellent food and service, great location right on the seafront, excellent value for money! If you go for the day menu, you are in for a treat!

The day menu (for lunch and dinner) has 9 options for starters, and 9 main dishes to chose from. Pre-starters like bread, aioli and tomatoes are included, also drinks. You could get a bottle of wine for two people (two menus). Unfortunately, my husband was driving and couldn’t drink but they kindly served me half a bottle of wine. The food was incredibly good and I was almost full before I even got to the main dish.. the starters were amazing - I highly recommend the stuffed piquillos peppers! I ordered pork tenderloin with pepper sauce and my husband ordered Red Fish fillet with florentine sauce. Both very very good. Desserts were also included - the creme brûlée was fantastic, not too sweet just perfect! For 20 euro which was the price of a daily menu I feel like this was the best restaurant in the area, with the best food and the best value. Congrats to the owners they deserve it. No wonder this restaurant was full and all the nearby ones were empty.

PS: a bit pricy if you order outside of their day menu, but I’m sure it’s all worth it. The actual menu looks good - photos attached!

great vegetarian options but only on the normal menu, not the daily one.

free parking...

We had a mediocre experience with my family at this well-located restaurant in Jávea —I only went there because of others suggesting it. They have an aggressive sales that I personally very much dislike as inviting people from the streets. It’s done by the waiters and waitresses that sometimes makes them inconsiderate of properly serving clients. Also the food is way too overpriced compared to other restaurants with the same quality in the region. The quality is decent, but the paella was too salty and the bravas was also like at a cheap place. It never hits the pricepoint, and their attitude is...

Location is great. Nice terras with good chairs. I had a bowl with 3 scoops of ice cream (chocolate, pistachio and cocos). This was supposed to be hand made Italian like ice cream but I didn't like the taste at all. It was not refined and tasted like factory made ice cream from the grocery store. My wife took calamares which did not taste great either (the batter was not fried well and soft). Prices were reasonable (not cheap). Service was so so. We had to wait long for our check and than again for the payment. I'm sorry but we can't...
