I decided to visit this haute cuisine restaurant located in the beautiful coastal city of Jávea (Carretera de Benitachell 100), which for me is the best restaurant in the Alicante province and one of the best in the whole Valencian Community.
They currently have a ⭐4.6 rating on Google Maps and my personal rating was ⭐5.
The restaurant occupies the facilities of an old, very large restored country house, all in a sober but sophisticated environment, where you will enjoy the views of the Montgo mountain and its beautiful interior garden.

The service is, of course, excellent and very attentive and its market cuisine is based on very fresh fish and seafood with very creative preparations but without forgetting certain touches of tradition, standing out with its amazing broths and sauces, where the hours and hours of boiling and reducing sauces with excellent ingredients are evident.
In addition, in the tasting menus for the 2022 season, they pay tribute to the fishermen of the area and the ancient technique they used to fish off the cliffs, risking their lives on winter nights; this technique is called "encesa", and it consisted of turning on a point of light on a rudimentary oil lantern and projecting it towards the sea, in order to attract high-value fish in the market that they could sell and thus earn extra money to survive.

In charge of the kitchen and cuisine is the acclaimed chef Alberto Ferruz, who worked for many years under the orders of the 12 Michelin starred chef Martín Berasategui (2nd chef of the world with more Michelin stars), before going to Paris to work in the prestigious Taillevent restaurant.
Later, and prior to opening BonAmb restaurant, Alberto worked with the also acclaimed chef Quique Dacosta, who also has several Michelin star accounts.
Up to here the introduction and the snacks; in the next article we will go with the main dishes.
Overall evaluation of the restaurant: 9.5 points out of 10.
