Excelente comida en un lugar privilegiado con vistas inmejorables al mar.El servicio ha sido muy bueno y amable en especial Rafa y Armando que se portaron muy bien con los niños y con los adultos. Respecto a la comida, el arroz del señoret muy bueno y a destacar los buñuelos de carne, las alcachofas y la torrija de postre. Muy bueno el cremaet y cafés, en los que te dan unas galletitas de chocolate muy buenas. ¡Todo un acierto, gracias!

Sitio espectacular. Comes al borde del mar, si hace frío sus ventanales están cerrados pero estás al sol, si hace calor los abren y parece que estás fuera. Los desayunos increíbles, pero tb hemos comido y muy bien. Armando un encanto, su jefe puede estar contento, te trata de 10.

Un ambiente agradable junto a una comida excelente. Las vistas una pasada, sin duda un sitio maravilloso para comer en Jávea.

Ya se ha convertido en lugar obligado. Desayunos bestiales, cuesta mucho elegir que plato tomar, cualquier opción es siempre de 10. Disfrutar de la familia, buenas vistas y comida exquisita, no veo mejor manera de empezar el dia

Nos ha encantado todo. La comida muy buena y el servicio perfecte. Armando ha sido muy amable y nos ha recomendado cosas para que nuestro Bruch fuera mejor y así ha sido.

We had our day 2 party here for the wedding and had a brilliant time. Great food, free flowing wine and beer for a great price. Thanks for making our day so special and they arranged a birthday cake for our friend!

Very welcoming, we arrived with no reservation on a busy lunchtime and they were couldn’t be more accommodating Food was very nice not exceptional but then again the prices were reasonable. It’s a fabulous location. The views are outstanding and I would thoroughly recommend it.

Great family run place since 1965 in Xàbia, Alicante. Menu of the day with a choice of starters, main and desert or coffee for 22 euros is excellent valued for money. Big portions and fresh seafood. I had Mediterranean Salad, Swordfish and Cortado! Highly recommend

Sebastian

Stopped here for breakfast with a few pals. Beautiful views across Javea beach. Breakfast order was taken and arrived in good time. It was delicious. I would definitely will pop back again!

Clarelly Taveras

The views are stunning. Food and service top notch. They have the best hummus I have ever had.

We love the place as it has very amzing view to the beach/sea. We were lucky to get a table as a walk in guests during busy summer. The food were amazing, the staff was good. Only small hiccup to experience that my son belt was gone when he left it accidently in the toilet. Definitely not the restaurant’s fault, it was a good learning not to left anything behind. In conclusion, we will come back when we visit Javea again.

Tuna Pasta

Absolutely stunning food, lovely view, lovely service! Chips and burger and the salmon are absolutely immaculate! I love this restaurant it was one of the highlights of our visit to Xabia! I definitely recommend! I went here on the 13th of June 2024 when I was on my holiday in Spain and I'll definitely be coming back

Once an awesome place, now it’s just expensive and lost it’s charme. The thing that stands out most is the amazing view. But a cheap printed A3 as a menucard, the plain white t-shirts from the staff (which matches the attitude of boredom and lack of inspiration) and the small portions make this place way to expensive. 25€ per person for a mediocre quality paella for instance. There are many better places for this money, but the view is amazing. That’s one thing they can’t do wrong.

I've never been here before so I was very pleasantly surprised by the good attentive service. We were given a table with a superb view of the bay really this restaurant is on the side of the Mediterranean Sea if you want a better view then you'll need a boat! The menu of the day was reasonably priced and very good value for money. I had chicken Strips with a satay style dip followed by a Black Angus burger with shredded fried potatoes all this was rounded off by a lovely Strawberry cheesecake which was amazingly good. I know because I've have had a lot of cheesecake around the world. A sparkling Minera water complimented the meal and I had a coffee too. For two people I paid 55€ including a good tip! Well worth a visit!

Hacía unos años fuimos a cenar con un grupo de amigos coincidiendo con nuestras vacaciones de verano y salimos contentos. Este año volvimos para repetir la experiencia en la comida y el grupo quedó maravillado con el local. Las vistas son espectaculares y hacen que la visita merezca la pena. La comida y el servicio, tratándose de un sábado de agosto (el local estaba lleno), fueron bastante correctos. El arroz y la fideuá, bajo mi punto de vista, no son los mejores de la ciudad. Recomiendo visitarlo para disfrutar de las vistas y el ambiente.

Pagas por el sitio en si, las vistas, ambiente cool y música. La mesa tenía vistas directas al mar, impresionantes!!!! Fuimos a comer con reserva previa en la web, había mucho ruido pero es normal ya que estaba lleno, música sonando con buenas canciones con DJ presencial. Comida: cantidad VS precio, a mi parecer algo elevado el precio, ya que las cantidades son pequeñas, entiendo que es cuestión de marketing y está perfectamente calculado. Sabor muy rico eso si, recetas cuidadas. El sitio es inmejorable, bien decorado y actualizado, con un servicio de mucha gente trabajando a la vez, bien coordinados, se nota que tienen bien estudiada la forma de hacer las cosas. Se aparca en la zona del puerto. Le pongo 4* por la cantidad en sus comidas. Para hacer unas fotos y pasar un buen rato con vistas.

Good food in amazing location Food and service are very good, you pay a bit extra for the view but it is worth it :)

Cala Bandida enjoys one of the best locations in Jávea, right on the water with stunning views of the Mediterranean. The setting is modern, lively, and full of energy, making it a perfect spot for everything from a long lunch to a stylish dinner. The food is consistently very good, with the fish dishes being the real standout – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. While the overall menu offers plenty of Mediterranean variety, vegetarian options are somewhat limited, which may be a drawback for some. It’s worth noting that Cala Bandida is always busy, so advance reservations are highly recommended. The restaurant only holds tables for about 15 minutes, so punctuality is important. Service is generally efficient, though the friendliness and warmth could certainly be improved to match the high quality of the food and location. Overall, Cala Bandida remains a must-visit when in Jávea – superb food, unbeatable views, and a vibrant atmosphere that captures the essence of Mediterranean dining.

Cenamos el viernes y tenían pocas mesas pero para nuestra desgracia los camareros no hacían caso . Llego antes la cena que la bebida , por fin llega el vino y un camarero lo trae y al rato llega otro y lo abre … Al pedir la segunda botella de vino blanco llegó caliente , lo dijimos y se llevaron la botella , llegó estando ya con el postre pero bueno … Cuando pedimos la cuenta nos cobraron las tres copas que nos pusieron de la segunda botella las cuales nadie bebió y al final el camarero al ver las copas sin tocar no nos las cobraron … La comida estaba buena la verdad , las raciones algunas pequeñas pero estaba bueno , la torrija espectacular .

Cenamos en pareja y reservamos con bastante antelación, ya que estábamos de vacaciones por la zona y nos lo recomendaron por su ubicación privilegiada. La comida estaba muy rica, aunque las raciones nos parecieron bastante escasas y el precio algo elevado en relación con la cantidad. Éramos dos personas y tuvimos que pedir cinco platos para quedarnos medianamente satisfechos. En cuanto al servicio, fue excelente: el personal es rápido, atento y se preocupa porque todo esté bien. El lugar es, sin duda, uno de sus grandes puntos fuertes: está junto al mar y ofrece unas vistas espectaculares de la playa de Jávea. Nos ha encantado el entorno y el sitio en sí, pero creemos que el tema de las cantidades es importante y, sinceramente, es algo que nos haría no repetir la experiencia.

Cala Bandida was recommended to us by friends, but unfortunately it didn’t live up to expectations. The view of the port and the bay is truly impressive — probably the restaurant’s main highlight. Prices are medium to high, quite typical for a seaside town. The food tasted fine, but the presentation was disappointing. On top of that, our friends were served dishes with chipped plates — not something you expect from a place with these prices and reputation. Overall, it’s a beautiful spot with a great atmosphere, but the attention to detail and presentation definitely need improvement

John Dixon

Very expensive and not worth it. Service was lackluster and despite our request (and plenty of free tables - which remained empty during our visit) we were seated inside. Paella had barely any meat. Will not visit again for food ❌

Peter Cryer

Lovely location and nice food. The service was quite poor though, we walked in and were guided to a table in the dark with no view. When asking for a table with a view the host answered her phone, ignored our request and took us to the table at the back of the room. The people behind us asked for a table and were taken straight to the view. Would understand if it was busy but as you can see by the images it was very quiet.

Henri Laviéville

Great view but that’s it. The cocktails taste like water. The hamburger was cold and didn’t taste good at all. The fries were not even fully cooked. Worst meal I’ve had in a long time.

Francesco Testa

The place looks nice and has very nice views but unfortunately the quality of the food wasn't great. The menu seems very well crafted and all the dishes sound great but it does not correspond to the reality, they lack elaboration,flavor and quality ingredients. It is hard to justify the prices only for the incredible views it has to offer. I hope it just was a bad night and a bad luck for me.

Pepa Perez

I used to really love this place, but I feel like it has changed quite a lot. The portions seem so small, like half the size what they used to be. My family likes to eat starters and share everything. We needed way to many too actually get full (and we are not big eaters) and not for a cheap price. This was not like this on previous years. Overall, quite disappointing that this is how it is now; the food is truly delicious but the relationship price/quality is not worth it :(

Dominic Brooke

Really lovely location and nice decor but thats where the positives end. The service was terrible and the food was laughable. My steak was a really fatty poor quality piece of meat and it was meant to come with mashed potato, mushrooms, courgette and tomato. I was given a smear of potato, half a mushroom and a single cherry tomato. The cheesecake was whipped cream with some biscuit crumbled on top. I won't be going back!

Terrorismo gastronómico: Paella sin hacer (líquida); más que paella nos dieron un arroz meloso… totalmente fuera de lugar y encima nos lo cobraron. Bravas con tomate de bote y patatas cocidas simples. Tiempos de espera largos. Alternativas mejores en la zona.
