Benidorm Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Benidorm

September 19, 2017 Fernanda Pittenger

Bask on four miles of golden beaches, hit the Mediterranean Sea on water skis or stroll along Benidorm's promenade and revel in its seaside charms; it's a true Spanish beauty of the Costa Blanca. Originally a fishing town, the city's historic center wows with its blue-domed 18th-century church and picturesque alleyways. Panoramic views reward those who climb into the surrounding Canfali hills, and nearby rocky coves reveal underwater riches for scuba enthusiasts. End a day in the sun with a feast of local seafood.

The Vagabond

The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays

Reviewed By lbalad - Leeds, United Kingdom

We visited this restaurant before Christmas when Benidorm was unusually quiet.We were walking around looking for somewhere to have dinner,and came upon The Vagabond.
We asked if they were still serving as there were only 2 other diners inside,but we're warmly welcomed by the friendly owner/chef.
Whilst we were looking at the Menu,a taster of the soup of the day and a couple of nibbles were given.
My partner decided to have the mushroom soup as starter,this was the best ever.I had chicken Caesar salad,it was huge but gorgeous.
My main was prawn curry with whiskey and partner had chicken a la king.Both were lovely.
Although stuffed I managed to just eat a creme caramel,when partner said he didn't eat sweets,the owner said he could do a cheese and biscuits even though it wasn't on menu.Thats what I call excellent customer service!.
We finished off with a couple of complementary liqueurs.
Without a doubt we will definitely call in again on our next visit to Benidorm.It was a real pleasure to meet Fred and his wife,and I wish them a happy and successful 2018!.

Amigos Restaurant and Roof Terrace

Now open from 7pm 6 days a week serving a la carte, situated at Carrer de la Palma. Serving good quality food at realistic prices we are most popular for our fillet steaks and also popular for our award winning wines, cocktails and sangria. Exceptional wines from Rioja, Valencia and Extremadura are served including the award winning Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz from the house of Habla. Cold and dry Valencian white and rose wines are also served alongside our long-serving Riojas. No loud music or TV. Ideal for friends to meet or small groups to reserve for private parties such as cocktail parties, dinner parties, birthdays, hen parties, anniversaries. The Menu is relatively small, modern and diverse with additional seasonal specials added for variety. You can enjoy freshly prepared food in the evenings and reserve the bar, roof Terrace and/or restaurant for your exclusive use any day of the week. From Easter 2018 we are opening the Amigos Cocktail Bar next door.

simply delicious

Reviewed By derek t - Newport

Two years since we last visited Benidorm and we were amazed to see the improvement in what already was a great place to eat. The cafe has been extended to accommodate more inside Seating which at this time of year is essential.
If anything the food quality and presentation has also improved and also the range of dishes all of which are home made. This eating place is a market leader and not Benidorm's answer to anything. Jacket potatoes, baguettes, rolls, sandwiches and home made pastries are superb, but the savoury pies are simply divine. Incredible.

Incredibly nice food, excellent service, worth the price, views to the sea, all you could ask for! Its right in front of the beach, so theres no parking spots so beware if you come by car. Also make sure to book a table as it can get really busy! One of my favourite restaurants in Benidorm.

This pretty, tiny pub/restaurant is on the hill leading to The Cross. The staff are English and very friendly. The food and drink is a tad expensive, the food is cooked to order so takes a while, and they only do mashed potatoes, not chips....MoreGlad you had a nice visit to our small bar sorry we are not allowed to do chips

Well worth a visit if you are in Benidorm. Mushroom risotto was the best I’ve ever tasted it was delicious. Rum baba was amazing but to share as it is huge. Staff were lovely and very friendly. Place was spotless. Hidden gem
