How Accessible is +Que Tapas, Javea?

accessibility review for +que Tapas, Javea

Wheelchair Accessibility Review for +Que Tapas, Javea Costa Blanca

+Que Tapas is a fantastic little tapas restaurant, perfect for coffees, snacks, or enjoying their menu del día. A standout feature is the complimentary mini croissant served with your coffee—a thoughtful touch that.

High-Quality Food and Great Variety

The food at +Que Tapas is truly exceptional. The menu offers a wide variety of high-quality dishes, from classic Spanish tapas to more creative options that cater to different tastes. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick snack, a leisurely coffee, or the excellent menu del día, the flavours are consistently fresh and delicious. The diverse menu ensures something for everyone, making it a great spot for groups or families with different preferences.

Wheelchair Accessibility Highlights

The owners have made commendable efforts to improve accessibility:

  1. Entrance Ramp: A ramp has been installed at the entrance, ensuring easy access for wheelchair users.
  2. Accessible Restroom: The ladies’ restroom has been adapted into a larger, wheelchair-accessible facility. Adding a small disability sign to this toilet would be helpful for clarity, particularly for male wheelchair users like my husband, who sometimes gets odd looks from others when using it.
  3. Table Arrangements: The tables are well-spaced, and some styles are ideal for wheelchair users, allowing easy access and comfort.

Atmosphere

The welcoming atmosphere is one of +Que Tapas’ greatest strengths. The staff are warm and attentive, ensuring all guests feel at ease. Combined with the high-quality food and affordable prices, it’s a place you’ll want to return to again and again.

Where is +Que Tapas, Javea?

Accessibility Challenges

The primary issue lies with the location. While the bar itself is on flat ground, parking can be a challenge. If you’re fortunate enough to find a nearby parking spot, accessibility is excellent. However, parking in a neighbouring street means navigating a steep hill to reach the restaurant. This incline can be extremely challenging for wheelchair users without substantial assistance from companions.

Final Thoughts

+Que Tapas is a shining example of a restaurant striving to be inclusive and accessible, and I commend the owners for their efforts. The ramp, accessible restroom, and thoughtful table arrangements showcase their commitment to all customers.

In addition to its accessibility, the high-quality food, extensive menu, and inviting atmosphere make it a standout choice in Javea. If parking logistics could be improved or nearby accessible spaces promoted, it would be nearly perfect for wheelchair users.

Despite the parking challenge, I highly recommend +Que Tapas for its fantastic food, friendly atmosphere, and impressive accessibility features. It’s a gem worth visiting!

Food and Menu: While we’ve only tried the tapas, the main dishes also look promising, offering a variety of appetizing options for diners.

 

Disability Access: Disability access at Charlie’s Beach Club is mixed. Although the owner has a ramp that can be placed at the entrance, it requires assistance for wheelchair users due to the acute angle, posing a challenge for independent wheelchair users like my husband, Rob. Additionally, fixed seating arrangements restrict movement around the bar, making it cramped for wheelchair users.

Toilet Accessibility: The toilets at Charlie’s Beach Club is commendably accessible, featuring excellent facilities including a bar on the wall to assist wheelchair users. This thoughtful addition enhances the overall accessibility of the bar.

Parking: There is no disabled parking especially for wheelchair users as Charlie’s Beach Club is on the Beach promenade at the Arenal Beach in Javea. There are many disabled spaces in this area and accessible taxis are available behind the promenade.

Overall Impression: Despite some accessibility challenges, Charlie’s Beach Club offers a great experience with its lively atmosphere, live music, and friendly service. The accessible restroom is a notable feature, providing convenience for wheelchair users. Overall, it’s a great little bar well worth a visit.

How wheelchair accessible is Le Gourmet 10:39 Predreguer?

le gourmet 10:39 accessibility review

Wheelchair Accessible Review for Le Gourmet 10:39 Restaurant, Pedreguer.

Overview: Le Gourmet 10:39 Restaurant in Pedreguer, Costa Blanca, offers an exceptional dining experience with incredible food and meticulous attention to detail from the chef, making every meal special. This restaurant exudes a truly Spanish feel, adding to its charm and appeal. Here’s a detailed review focusing on the wheelchair accessibility of Le Gourmet.

Wheelchair Access: Le Gourmet 10:39 has made commendable efforts to ensure good accessibility within its premises. However, the entryway has one step, which can be navigated by wheelchair users with assistance, making it not fully accessible for all. Once inside, the interior is arranged to accommodate wheelchair users comfortably. The location of the restaurant also presents a significant challenge. Situated up a very steep hill, it is difficult for wheelchair users to reach the restaurant independently. Wheelchair users would need to be dropped off directly outside the restaurant, as navigating the steep hill and lack of nearby parking make it impractical to arrive by wheelchair alone.

Seating for Disabled Patrons: Once inside, the restaurant is well-equipped to serve wheelchair users. The tables are spaced out sufficiently, allowing for easy manoeuvrability. The thoughtful layout ensures that wheelchair users can find a comfortable spot to enjoy their meal without feeling cramped.

Accessible Toilets: The toilet at Le Gourmet 10:39 is accessible for wheelchair users. Although there are no grab bars, the restroom is spacious enough to accommodate even electric wheelchairs. This makes it easier for patrons with mobility impairments to use the facilities independently.

Menu and Dining Experience: Le Gourmet 10:39 offers a staggered price menu del día, depending on which main courses you choose, providing a range of delicious options to suit different tastes and budgets. The food is truly exceptional, earning a full 5 stars for its quality and taste, with the chef’s attention to detail making every dish a culinary delight. This focus on quality and presentation enhances the dining experience, making it a memorable outing for all guests.

Parking Challenges: Unfortunately, there is no parking available nearby, which is a significant drawback for those with mobility impairments. The restaurant owners have done everything within their control to make the venue itself accessible, but the external factors, such as the steep hill and lack of parking, remain unavoidable challenges.

Recommendations for Wheelchair Users: While Le Gourmet 10:39 has ensured good accessibility within the restaurant, the external challenges posed by its location and the step at the entrance need to be considered. It would be beneficial for wheelchair users to plan for a drop-off right outside the restaurant. Coordinating with friends, family, or a transportation service can help mitigate the difficulties posed by the steep hill and lack of parking.

Overall Accessibility:

  • Entrance: ★★☆☆☆
  • Interior: ★★★★☆
  • Restroom: ★★★★☆
  • External Access (Hill and Parking): ★★☆☆☆
  • Food Quality: ★★★★★

Despite the challenges posed by its steep location, lack of nearby parking, and the step at the entrance, Le Gourmet 10:39 Restaurant in Pedreguer, Costa Blanca, offers an accessible and exceptional dining experience within its premises. The incredible food, truly Spanish ambiance, and meticulous attention to detail from the chef make it worth the effort to visit. However, due to the external access issues and the step at the entrance, it is advisable for wheelchair users to arrange drop-off transportation directly outside the restaurant. This way, they can fully enjoy the special culinary experience that Le Gourmet 10:39 provides.

For those seeking a memorable dining experience in Costa Blanca, Le Gourmet 10:39 stands out, though improvements in accessibility logistics would further enhance its appeal to wheelchair users and patrons with mobility challenges.

How Wheelchair Accessible is Safranera Cafeteria Javea?

Safranera Cafeteria Javea disabled access

How accessible is Safranera cafeteria Javea?

Safranera Cafetiera Javea is very accessible with no steps and a flat level throughout. However, wheelchair access could be restricted during busy times as the cafeteria is a very small establishment. There are a small number of tables inside the restaurant and some outside on the pavement. This can be overlooked however as this cafeteria is all about the Venezualan food, which is incredible.

Wheelchair accessible parking near Safranera Cafeteria Javea.

It is not too difficult to find a designated disabled space not far from Safranera Cafeteria Javea, however, it is located on a very busy road in Javea and therefore in peak season there you may struggle. Most locals do not park in the designated blue bays and for a short flat walk, I am sure that you will find one in the local streets.

Wheelchair accessible toilet in Safranera Cafeteria.

The disabled toilet in Safranera Cafeteria is small. It is a little more spacious than usual and they have a bar support for those that need it. However, due to the sheer size of this tiny restaurant, the toilet also reflects this lack of space.

Why you should come to visit Safranera Cafeteria?

Food, Food, Food. We can forgive the size of this restaurant because of the Venezuelan food. It is a must to try and as first-timers, the chef was very happy to give us a tapas-style meal so that we could try numerous dishes. The passion and love put into this food are apparent. Wonderful!

In conclusion, can I recommend Safranera Cafeteria with wheelchair accessibility in mind?

This small family-run restaurant is a must-visit for anyone wanting something a little different in Javea. It has all of the elements of wheelchair access however it is a small restaurant so movement is always going to be limited for wheelchair users. Please visit though. A special family who serve food with love.

Safranera Cafeteria is found on Ctra cap de la nau.

TASCA PORT RESTAURANT JAVEA – ACCESS FOR WHEELCHAIR USERS

There is really good wheelchair access at Tasca Port Restaurant Javea. There is a terrace outside and a ramped entrance to the seating inside. Due to covid restrictions, the tables are spaced apart creating easy movement for independent wheelchair users. The tables have good access beneath so Rob in his wheelchair can get close to the table. I am not sure if there is perfect accessibility for the larger wheelchairs as it is a small restaurant.

Geographic front accessible javea

Wheelchair access at Geographic Restaurant and Bar, El Arenal, Javea.

When asking how wheelchair accessible is Geographic Bar and Restaurant Javea, the answer would be positive but mixed. There are several areas of seating areas at Geographic Bar and Restaurant.

Wheelchair Access inside the Geographic Restaurant and Bar

Inside the restaurant itself, it is wheelchair accessible but the tables at the front where the lovely view of the sea is, are packed into this area so you may get a feeling of being penned in. In the current climate of Covid, there is plenty of space between tables.

There is more spacious seating at the rear of the restaurant where the small cafe counter is, selling cakes and other treats. This area also has an open fire in the winter months. A real treat at Christmas time.

Accessible Terrace outside

The terrace outside is between Geographic and the bar next door. This terrace stretches around the back of Geographic as well and is level all the way around.

Disabled parking for Geographic Restaurant, Javea

Javea Av Del Med disabled parking space free in height of summer

So what has Geographic got to offer the  disabled traveller?

Being mainly wheelchair accessible and so close to the lovely beach at El Arenal, then it has a lot to offer. We usually sit inside and have a breakfast or dinner.

TV screens show sport

There are MANY television screens at Geographic showing sport, including premiership and international football. It doesn’t have the feel of a sports bar and you can enjoy a meal or drink in peace. However, popular games may attract larger crowds and make it more difficult to move around the bar.

Is Geographic Restaurant  Accessible for wheelchair users?

Geographic is all on one level. The disabled access entrance is at the side of the restaurant. There is an approximately a one inch lip at this entrance which could be challenging for some. A large electric wheelchair, could get around but you may have to ask others to move for you. We tend to towards the rear where it is a little more spacious.

The disabled toilet at Geographic is located at the rear of the restaurant, through the left of the two doors and labelled ladies I’m afraid. It is spacious, however.

Would I recommend Geographic to the disabled traveller?

We enjoy going to Geographic. The food and staff are very good and we like the pub feel that geographic has. We highly recommend the English breakfast. It is particularly nice in the cooler months with the open fire and cosy feel.

doors closed la fontana javea disabled access

When asking how wheelchair accessible La Fontana bar and Restaurant is, the answer has to be yes absolutely.  And to add to this excellent accessibility, the staff are friendly and work hard to create an atmosphere that is always buzzy and fun.

Wheelchair access at La Fontana Restaurant, El Arenal, Javea.

There are several areas of seating at La Fontana. All areas are wheelchair accessible.  The first being the terrace outside which has a mixture of seating tables and barstools around barrels.

The second is inside the restaurant itself. It is wheelchair accessible but the tables are packed into this area so you may get a feeling of being penned in. Sometimes the width for a wheelchair to get through isn’t there and you end up having to ask people to move if you need to toilet or to leave. Personally, Rob would rather not sit where this is the case. In the current climate of Covid, there is plenty of space between tables.

Disabled parking for La Fontana Restaurant, Javea

There is a disabled parking space right outside the restaurant by the side terrace. It seems to be a popular parling space as it leads onto the promenade at El Arenal Beach so we have not always been successful in attaining this space. There are a variety of disabled parking spaces behind the El Arenal Beach area and you will usually find one which is free.

So what has La Fontana got to Offer?

Being fully wheelchair accessible and so close to the lovely beach at El Arenal, then it has a lot to offer. We usually sit on the side terrace which provides easy access to the disabled toilet.

Unusual drinks at La Fontana Restaurant and Bar.

If you are a spirit drinker then La Fontana is for you. They have many unusual spirits and also sell them in their on-site shop. They also sell lovely condiments and other specialist food items. Great for an unusual holiday gift!

So how wheelchair accessible is La Fontana Bar and Restaurant, Javea?

La Fontana is fully accessible for wheelchairs throughout. It is all on one level and entrances are flat. There would be space for an electric wheelchair.

Is there a disabled access toilet at La Fontana?

The disabled toilet at La Fontana Restaurant Javea is unique in that you will find it in the Gents toilet area. No, you don’t have to wheel passed men at urinals but the doorway is next to the gents’ toilet.  The doorway to the disabled toilet is not huge but Rob fitted through easily in his manual wheelchair.

Would I recommend La Fontana to the disabled traveller?

In Conclusion, we love going to La Fontana Restaurant Javea.  The staff and great, the drinks are flowing and food is excellent. The thin crispy pizzas are a must or any of the tapas as well. Go around the side terrace, you will see the bar there and be able to see the variety of spirits on offer. I believe that the bar manager would accommodate any drink request. A real favourite of ours and the locals alike.

The La Fontana Restaurant and bar is located at the end of the promenade at El Arenal Beach area, Javea.

Premium Plus Steakhouse and Cocktail bar, Moraira. How accessible it it?

When asking how wheelchair accessible Premium Plus Steakhouse Restaurant and cocktail bar is, the review is mixed. It is a specialist steakhouse and whilst the food was of a high quality the accessibility was not.

Wheelchair access at Premium Plus Steakhouse Restaurant and cocktail bar

There are two areas of seating at Premium Plus. The first being the terrace outside on ground level which is wheelchair accessible once you have crossed over a small lip.

The second is inside the  air-conditioned restaurant itself. The question as to whether this is wheelchair accessible is dependent on your needs. There is a steep 8 steps to get up to get into the indoor seating which in no way can be described as accessible for wheelchair users.

Disabled parking for Premium Plus Steakhouse Restaurant and cocktail Bar , Moraira

The nearest parking to Premium Plus steakhouse restaurant ad Cocktail Bar is in the main carpark behind the row of restaurants and accessible via Ave. Madrid. It is a huge car park and some of it is taken by a fairground during high season.

However, there are no allocated disabled parking spaces here. The short promenade of restaurant where Premium Plus is located is accessible from the beach car park opposite after a short walk/wheel. We chose to park in the large main car park on the end of a row of non-disabled friendly spaces as it was closer.

What has Premium Plus steakhouse and Cocktail Bar, Moraira got to offer the disabled traveller?

I’m afraid the answer to this question is not a lot. In fact, we won’t be returning. We sat on the terrace on a very hot afternoon and there was no attempt to even offer fans to cool us down.  Other diners had the choice of going up the steps into the air-conditioned restaurant. An option which a disabled traveller did not have. There was no access to the toilet as it was in the main restaurant upstairs and although it was larger than normal, that didn’t matter because you wouldn’t be able to get to it.

Is Premium Plus Steakhouse and cocktail bar  Accessible for wheelchair users?

You can have access to the terrace at the front but as a disabled traveller, there your access ends. No access to a toilet or to the bar area.

There is no accessible toilet.

In conclusion, we will not be returning.  The food, staff or ambience was not special enough to tempt us back. There are so many more restaurant in Moraira which have attempted accessibility in some way and we will be going to those in the future.

Where is Premium Plus Steakhouse and bar?

The Premium Plus steakhouse and cocktail bar is located on Crtra Moraira a Calpe.
