Food & Drink

In spite of its development boom, Benidorm remains a fishing village at heart. Ever since days of yore, local gastronomy has seafood and rice dishes as its basic cuisine. The simulacrum of Benidorm dining, paella is one of those emblematic dishes. Grilled or boiled seafood is tradition, as well as fish, either fried, stewed, or in soup. Staple ingredients as well are garlic and olive oil. Both, as well as the ali-oli sauce, accompany many dishes.

The average gorger can go globe-hopping without leaving the confines and comforts of the resort. In Benidorm, British food is easy to secure as well as other varieties, whether Chinese, Indian or Italian. Prices are very reasonable than those in UK. Fast-food outlets are also all round, as well as local and international restaurants.

The most popular restaurants include the Queen Vic, the Geordie Bar, the Kings Arms, the Pig and Whistle and the Yorkshire Pride. They serve British style breakfasts. No designer cuisine though. Major fast food restaurants have outlets in Benidorm as well.

Within the vicinity of the Old Harbor, one should never ever miss the Spanish delicacy, the tapa. It is only fitting that one gets a taste of genuine Spanish gastronomy and enjoy some tapas. Along the water front, one can find the La Cava Aragonesa, a very commendable tapa outlet.

Local dessert typically consists of the almond cake, turrones and ice cream. Wines from this region acquire a signature tasty Spanish taste, without doubt. They are usually selected with Designation of Origin - Alicante, to suggest that the wine is of excellent quality. There’s also the misteleta (a sweet wine) and horchata (a drink made from tiger nuts, with protected Designation of Origin).
