Beautiful location, well managed restaurant, great food. We did not have reservations and asked to have a drink at the bar. We were welcomed warmly, and served drinks and tapas, and in about 10 minutes the hostess came back saying there is a free table available, so we took advantage and ordered food; the service was efficient, very friendly, and impecable.

Very nice location. Overlooking the beach with good atmosphere. The staffs were nice.. they helped with the bday candle for my daughter. We spent the sunset there and received some advices for the holiday.

Stunning vista of the small cove and sea awaits the hairpin drive from the main road. The terraced restaurant was classy and busy. Nice menu and attentive staff. We had a snack and it was gorgeous. And I judge places by the size and cleanliness of the toilets! 5*.

Beautiful view of the beach. We had a lovely relaxing afternoon with drinks and food. Servers were very attentive and always made sure drinks were topped up, and directed us to relevant breakfast/brunch menus. Slightly burnt croissant for breakfast but the brunch made up for it! We had garlic shrimps, bread & alioli, calamari, patatas bravas, and chicken wings. Slightly on the expensive side but worth the day out and what you're really paying for is the amazing view!

We found this fabolous pearl of a place by accident, walking one the mirador paths. Order a mojito and you'll get it exactly how it's supposed to be. Just ask for brown sugar instead of white. It's a Spanish thing to want the drink to look clear... It's pricy - but you pay for the location and it's worth it. We didn't eat there, so I cannot yet comment on the food.

Outstanding setting and excellent food. The prices reflect this but definitely worth it as the sea view is beautiful. Essential to book as gets busy, we visited late October on a Saturday and it was full but despite this the service was good. There is very limited parking near the restaurant so bear this in mind as it's a long walk from the top of the hill (very busy in the summer months!)

A wonderful restaurant by the sea. The location is stunning as well as the decor. But truly, the food is quite nice, with traditional chiringuito distes but also more daring options. The staff is very friendly too. The only downside is parking is very limited in the area (we walked for nearly 30 min with children...) Surely this won't be an issue once the high season is over.

El sitio con unas vistas inmejorables y una fideuá de pato que nos comimos realmente exquisita, por esa parte genial pero el precio desorbitado hasta para esas vistas tan maravillosas 8 € de pan 20€ una ensalada o casi 5€ un nestea se que la hosteleria se esta subiendo a la parra pero me parece excesivo ya. La ensalada sin mas y escasa para 20€ La fideuá espectacular de buena eso sí. No pedimos ni postre y fueron casi 100€

Solo estuve tomando un cóctel y una coca, todo ello bastante rico. Algunas mesas tienen vistas a la Cala pero solo te puedes sentar en ellas si tienes reserva para cenar. Las vistas a la Cala merece mucho la pena. Personal atento, sitio muy recomendable.

Place is worth for the view and afterparty which starts at 17.00 Food is pretty average,but ok for a typical beachclub.Don’t expect much from the service and food I had seafood pasta and tuna tataki You need to book a table in advance(in August maybe 1month in advance),especially if you have big company As for parking-it’s almost impossible to park,better get a taxi

Stopped in for breakfast and was instantly won over by the fresh orange juice and perfectly messy pan con tomate. The views of the beach were stunning, the kind that make you question your return flight. Excellent people-watching too… a rotating cast of very attractive and very sun-kissed individuals. I left full, refreshed, and slightly self-conscious about my SPF choices. Would come back, ideally with sunglasses and a better beach bod.

Louis Eguchi

Tasty food, nice staff lovely views. Just initially we were ignored and waited a fair bit whilst waiters walked past a lot even though we had a reservation. However would recommend.

CJ

Great atmosphere, beautiful view, maybe a bit too loud at times. The restaurant is quite popular, places are limited, and prices are on the higher side. It is possible to order takeaway as well and pay at the entrance, which is a good option for eating on the beach. Vegan options were the fries and grilled vegetables.. tasted ok, but wished they had more than that. Reservations required in advance! There was a huge line at the entrance. If you booked a table, it is allowed to drive all the way down to the beach (between 4-6pm the road is closed off due to limited parking spaces).

Beautiful location with a really lovely terrace overlooking the pebble beach. The owner was very pleasant; he welcomed us in for coffee & breakfast at 9.00 when they opened. Sadly, most of the rest of the staff seem to have been afflicted with the same “too cool for school” hacked off, grumpy attitude we also saw in a few other eateries around Javea; with a distinct lack of interest in their customers (we’re the ones who visit your workplace to spend our cash, so your jobs remain secure). The coffees were great; the food was ok….delicious fried eggs & decent (mostly) fresh ingredients. But a few smiles wouldn’t have gone amiss. If the waiters are this un-enamoured of their clientele at opening, I can only imagine how they deal with tourists by later in the day…..😱 The exception was Nestor, one of the bus boys who was smiley, friendly and charming. He should be moved to front of house; he had exactly the right kind of personality for the job. Dog friendly! Addendum: The owner replied...he obviously doesn't know what a 'bus-boy' is 😱 He was the guys who cleared our plates. Perhaps check the names of your staff? I asked him his name & he told me it was Nestor. I was definitely reviewing the correct place. And my comment about the luke-warm welcome from your staff does still stand.

Perfect location and perfect view. Very friendly staff. Fried calamari very fresh and tasty. However, we had a problem with one of our dishes, the staff helped us and also gave us a free plate that was perfectly cooked and tasty. Overall it was a very pleasant experience, I guess you just have to order the right thing. Nice Aperol spritz too.

Hay dos formas de valorar Cala Clémence. La primera una expericia perfecta y muy agradable por el lugar y las vistas del restaurante que son espectaculares, razón esta por la que merece la pena visitar. LA segunda es la esperiencia gastronómica que ya no es tan agradable y nó sólo por que los precios sean elevados y las raciones pequeñas que se puede entender por el lugar, pero había cosas como el tartar del salmón que no nos gustaron nada, incluso llegue a preguntar por nos parecía un sabor extraño. En definitiva creo que la mejor experiencia que te puedes llevar de este lugar es ir a tomar un cóctel o similar de tarde o tal vez un desayuno (teniendo en cuenta que hay cola antes de su apertura para escoger buena mesa y es muy casi imposible aparcar en temporada alta, salvo que vayas antes de la 8:30 o por la tarde des de las 19:00.

Pedimos el tataki, el carpaccio, la ensalada de queso de cabra y la dorada. El carapccio estaba mal emplatado, en el sentido de que no estaban las laminas bien repartidas. Pero sin duda lo que menos me gusto, la dorada, no estaba bien limpiada y no se servían los lomos, sino el pez entero. Relacion calidad precio mala. El ambiente y el resto de la comida muy bien.

Ambiente y escenario espectacular. Grandes vistas a Cala Porticok. Crítica a la comida calidad precio para 55/60€ por comensal. Pulpo delicioso, resto de tapas muy normales y atún poco sabroso. Postres nivel bajo malo Tarta tatin sin más. Mala imagen: Fuimos a cenar y tuvimos que esperar que salieran todos los borrachos/as del tardeo.

Es un lugar en una ubicación increíble pero bueno la comida pues debería ser muchísimo mejor. Pedimos una ensalada de mango y demás y llevaba dos mini trocitos, preguntamos y nos dijeron que era lo que llevaba 🤷🏼‍♀️. Luego la fideuá con foia llevaba mucha pasta y poco pato y foia. No quedamos contentas y bueno los precios lo lógico del lugar pero con una mejor comida.

Lo mejor del lugar, sin duda, son las vistas: un auténtico espectáculo. A pesar de ser un sitio grande, la atención es muy buena y el servicio atento. Probamos varios platos para compartir: ensalada, coca y calamar —este último especialmente recomendable. Los precios están algo hinchados, pero es comprensible teniendo en cuenta la ubicación privilegiada. En definitiva, una buena opción si pasas el día en la cala del Portitxol

Disappointing experience. Beautiful location, but the season started off poorly. The langoustine salad was just wilted greens with two dry shrimp. The lemon sorbet came as a watery, melted mess. Service was especially bad. Saturday evening, staff were visibly tired and unwelcoming. It’s clear they were overwhelmed after the Revival After Beach party (4–8 PM), but that’s no excuse. If such events exhaust the team, a shift change is needed — guests arriving later deserve proper service too. Sadly, not a place I’d recommend for dinner.

Nací en un barrio humilde en Madrid, lo que me hizo lidiar a veces con situaciones complicadas referidas a la propiedad privada, aún así he de decir que pocas veces me he sentido tan atracado como en este lugar. Independientemente de entrar a valorar la sobre saturación en los meses de verano y la imposibilidad de disfrutar del lugar, vamos a intentar valorar la atención, la comida y la experiencia. Empecemos por la comida que podemos calificar como correcta, con márgenes obviamente óptimos para la empresa y sin grandes alardes de elaboraciones. La atención es pésima de las peores que he tenido, poca profesionalidad al nivel de no dejarnos utilizar una botella de agua que traíamos para nuestro bebé (con tapón en forma de biberón ya que aún no sabe beber de vaso y de capacidad mínima) y obligarnos a pagar una del propio local, increíble y todo por rebañar 3,50€ más. La experiencia podría ser fabulosa ya que el lugar es inmejorable pero eso no es mérito de estos hosteleros, los cuales en lo que si tienen que dar el callo, suspenden notablemente. No recomendable.

Este año Fuimos al atardecer para tomar una copa. El año pasado fuimos tambien a comer y como restaurante normal calidad y precio elevado AHORA COBRAN 10€ POR ENTRAR MÁS COSUMICION. La verdad un pena una forma de ganar dinero fácil y muy pobre aprovechar el tirón de su fama. Al final estás cosas suben y bajan en la vida El año que viene no volveremos. Local bonito vistas muy bonitas. Ambiente frio mucho extrajero y demasiado postureo. Personal normal y un poco desbordados. LA CALA ES BONITA PUEDES NO GASTARTE MAS 50€ COMIENDO. Y PUNTO

The location is gorgeous and the wait staff are very nice, but the paella was inedible. Extremely salty hardly any seafood. If this had been my first experience of paella it would have been my last. We mentioned it to the staff and they talked to the chef. They offered coffee and dessert but we don't eat either, so we asked if perhaps they would not charge for the beer or wine. Apparently not possible. Anyway come for a drink.

Not worth the hype I honestly don’t understand the hype. Everyone says you must book in advance, so I made a reservation one month ahead. Still, we were seated far from the sea, while walk-in guests were placed at the front tables by the water. It made no sense and felt unfair. Another issue: no one warns you in advance (not on the website, not in the booking confirmation ) that access to the beach is restricted. About 2km before the restaurant, a person stops your car and tells you that you’ll need to walk the rest of the way. The path is steep, winding, and not exactly easy. Definitely not ideal for everyone. This SHOULD BE clearly communicated beforehand. To be fair, the woman who served us was lovely — kind and attentive. The food was okay, nothing exceptional. Prices were comparable to a good restaurant in West London, which means quite expensive for Spain. Overall, not worth the effort or the price. Wouldn’t go back.

Una pena que este tipo de sitios se vuelvan tan famosos. La paella solía estar rica según referencia de una amiga con la que fuimos. La paella, insípida. Además, pedimos una ensalada de burrata con pesto que por 20 euros… sin más. Espero que mejoren la calidad pues el sitio es un buen emplazamiento, pero deja que desear.

I used to consider this restaurant one of the best in Xabia a few years ago, but it has now turned into a blatant tourist trap. The quality of the food is unworthy of Spanish standards—imagine hard, over-toasted bread that even your dog would struggle to chew! The prices are nothing short of theft. For example, charging €20 for a handful of garlic shrimp and over €25 for subpar Iberico ham is outrageous. We were so disappointed that we left after the appetizers and opted to have our main course elsewhere in Xabia. Save your money and avoid this place!
