La Vera — Restaurant in Xàbia / Jávea

So many better places to eat in Jávea! We ordered 8 different dishes and maybe 2 were okay. Bao buns were hard and dry. I've never heard my bao buns audibly clack when hitting it with a fork. So stale. Venison tataki - meat was good but accoutrements were laughable: bare peas, hard red pickled cabbage and "japanese mayonnaise" that was simple yellow mustard with some mayo in it. Duck gyoza was good. Plantain dish was good. Vegan curry was unmemorable. Poke bowl was middling and uninspired.

That said, I love this place! Steak on a hot stone is a bit cliched but I love it, their Rendang is spectacular. Last visit I tried the vegan green curry - It tasted great, but alongside some vegetables, rice and salad (The same accompaniments as the Rendang), was a bowl of green curry sauce. I thought there might be some mushrooms, or Tofu, but no, just a bowl of sauce... it was a big plate of food for not an awful...
