Where to Eat in Jávea? Tasty Spots—and One That Beats Them All

Jávea has no shortage of good food. From tapas bars to curry houses, from juicy burgers to golden paella, there’s something for every taste. But let’s be real—for a family of five, it’s not just about what we eat, but where we eat. Here are some of our top picks that work great with kids—and one place that secretly wins them all.

🍛 Nepali Bindia Restaurant – Exotic flavors just around the corner

If you’re staying near Casa Tucan, this little gem is practically next door. The spices are perfectly balanced, the butter chicken is a dream, and the naan bread gets a big thumbs up from the kids (because let’s face it, it’s basically fancy pizza). Add a mango lassi and you’ve got a winner. Cozy, friendly, and totally different from the usual holiday fare.

🍔 Chabada – Classic beachside crowd-pleaser

Located right on the Arenal promenade, Chabada is one of those places where everyone finds something they like. Pasta? Check. Burgers? Check. Fish? Of course. It’s casual, laid-back, and the views of the beach make it even better. Great for a lazy lunch or early dinner when the sun’s still warm on your shoulders.

🍹 La Bambula – Chic vibes by the rocks

If you’re craving a stylish spot for a drink and some light bites, La Bambula near the rocky edge of Granadella Beach hits the mark. It’s got that modern boho look, perfect for sipping a mojito while the kids snack on patatas bravas. Probably not the place for a long sit-down meal with the whole family—but a great spot to unwind after the beach.

🍳 But honestly? The best meals happen at Casa Tucan

Restaurants are great, but if you really want to impress your taste buds, hit up Mercadona and cook at home.

Think: fresh prawns, local cheeses, sun-kissed tomatoes, Iberian ham, a crusty baguette—and maybe a cheeky bottle of Rioja. Put it all together in Casa Tucan’s kitchen, and voilà: you’ve got yourself a five-star dinner with zero dress code.

And the best part? The kids can run around the garden while you sip wine on the terrace and listen to the cicadas. No waiting for menus, no awkward “do you have chicken nuggets?” conversations. Just good food, fresh air, and holiday magic.
