Sileno Gastrobar — Restaurant in Xàbia / Jávea

I went to this place upon recommendation from my superior at work along with a friend of mine.

I ordered as a starter a small apertizer with fresh tuna-olivs and spicey peppers. An incredibly fresh taste and a great way to start the meal.

I then ordered the main, that was octopus along with a potatoe cream. The octopus was beyond delicious, but the potatoe cream for me was the star. Soft, creamy and delicious. I would recommend to any fish dish lover.

To finish off, i had a peach pie along with goats cheese icecream. Incredible flavours and textures in the mouth. I could not fault the pastery nor the homemade ice cream as it left me plesently surprised.

Overall, the services was attentive, welcoming and extremely professional. I would recommend to share the dishes between people of you go as a party of people, since the objective here is to taste and enjoy the food, rather than having a solo dish for yourself.

10/10 a welcomed resturant...

The food in this place is hugely disappointing. Salad with no dressing or tomatoes (they were second on the ingredients list) we had to ask for vinegar and they brought us one from the kitchen that is one huge bottle you buy for 1€ in Mercadona. The croquetas were tiny but good (not worth 7€ in for two but oh well). Then the octopus carpaccio was the only thing worth ordering and worth its price. Fried fish platter was so basic you’d expect it in a beach xiringuito for tourists. The little burgers left much to be desired. Presentation was also only mediocre at best. Overall for 85€ this place is a rip off considering it’s a Gastro restaurant. Your pictures do not match what you serve. You have so much potential. The staff are wonderful, margaritas are great and the atmosphere is relaxing but the food is sup par for your...

Having recently moved to the area, I was excited to try this restuarant based on the reviews & rating - Unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. We waited over an hour for the starters to arrive & after asking twice for olives, they never arrived. The staff seemed to be aware of how long the food was taking to arrive & they were doing their absolute best, but it felt as though there was a huge lack if organisation, as the table next to us were having a similar experience. The fried fish starter also looked as though half of it was missing. After waiting so long for our starters, we decided to not order mains & instead finished our evening at a different restaurant. It’s a shame, as the venue is beautiful & the staff are warm & friendly, so the venue has...
