🫤 Bittersweet experience! owner (or manager?) was refusing to let us have a coffee and desserts on a nice table.

    As I have visited hundreds of restaurants I must comment on this one. I red reviews first and thought I thought that it shall be nice experience. Food we had was absolutely normal but price was just too high for the quality. Service good BUT after I saw that the waitress are playing with dom other customers dogs without cleaning their hands afterwards its unacceptable! I love animals but this sort of behaviour is absurd! Drinks: to pay 15€ for sangria that is mixed with Fanta! is what? Distasteful... this restaurant should at least serve it with real juice. There are oranges growing all over the city! Next thing: Pina colada, well for 10€ I want to feel pineapple! Not a chance, lots of ice, (costs noghing) milk cream and coconut but no pineapple flavor! Last thing: if the client finishes his food, the plates with overlefts should be taken away and a simple question should come offering desserts. Well. After a long time I do NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone. Unless you really want the see and city view...

    Bittersweet experience! owner (or manager?) was refusing to let us have a coffee and desserts on a nice table. He suggested us another table and even removed the table cloth already set on that table in front of everyone… which was kind of embarrassing, He said We had to pay for a full meal to have the right to have a nice table with a cloth ( we already ate before getting there) we even saw people sitting inside the restaurant in the bar section where the view was also nice but when we asked about that section as well, the owner (or manager) told us that we couldn’t sit there either, we ended up buying the coffee and 2 slices of cakes to eat at the view point right next to the restaurant, it was way overpriced but we figured that it might be worth it, coffee was good but the cakes were awful… The restaurant have so many customers and so much exposure because of their view that they do not care about the quality of their service, so if you are not there to spend more than 30 euros you are not worthy.

    The food and service are good, the view is outstanding. As for cocktails I ordered Mojito and the mint flavour was too strong. The prices for some plates are unreasonable, especially the turbot fish it cost 90€/ 2 persons.

    We found this little Benidorm Gem. This restaurant is top notch. We travel all over the world for business and leisure. The location is on a headland right next to the sea. There is nothing else around, just this beautiful restaurant. The views are spectacular. The food is fine dining but plenty of it. The daytime menu is 5 courses €30 which are beautifully presented, think Masterchef, and are bursting with flavour. We were full at the third course but the food was so delicious we could not stop. Wine cellar is amazing and prices from €18 to €500. We had the €18 Rioja and it was perfect. The music is 1950’s/60s Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles and the young Nora Jones. The Decor is fabulous, the owner has created a lovely ambience. Follow the road to the Benikaktus Hotel and it’s just a few yards after that. The service, just like the food, is first class. Tony the head waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the food and wine. We honestly cannot recommend this place enough. You will not be disappointed. 🥰

    There were no other customers when we visited for drinks at 13:30 but the waiter insisted we could only sit in the section on the street, rather than those with views over Benidorm. While we were there, several other groups came for drinks and decided to walk away when they were told they couldn't be seated with a view, so the business is turning away the only potential customers it has at this time of day. To make matters worse, members of staff were using this section as a smoking area, which is unprofessional. The toilets were disgraceful - no toilet seat, soap or paper.

    Great bar restaurant on the hill just north of Benidorm but an easy short walk to get up here. Think it’s only reopened recently as it was closed when we came last year. Absolutely top place with amazing views across Benidorm bay. Well recommended 👍

    Everything was great, the only couple things were we sat outside so when the sun came round it got really hot as it started peeping through even though we were shelter from it and also for a place like this the bathrooms were awful, needs some work doing to it, apart from that everything was yummy and the views are amazing, quite expensive but what can you expect from a place like this, everything seemed fresh too so normal prices I guess for what you get.

    Impromptu stop for lunch where we were welcomed by Tony. Family run business a little way up the hillside from Benidorm beach. Tony recommended freshly caught Turbot and it was delicious as was the wine, and at a reasonable price. Beautiful decor, lovely ambience, amazing views over Benidorm and the beach. A little oasis of tranquility from the Benidorm hubbub.

    We arrived early without a reservation, asked if we could sit at a table directly overlooking beach, were told no, despite no one else being seated there during the whole time we were there. The service was very slow and the food mediocre. The menu is online so I recommend checking the prices. We were persuaded to have the catch of the day that wasn’t on the menu. The wine was awful, the staff unfriendly and the bill should of been presented by someone in a stocking mask and striped T-shirt.

  • 4/5 Pedro de O. 1 year ago on Google
    we were really happy with: - Location: great views from there - soundtrack: they were playing great R&B. For my taste, I was delighted - waiter's attention: we did not take long to be seated, did not take long to order and me and my partner had our dog (daughter) with us. really well played. He managed to get 2 nice bones left in the kitchen for the dog!!! really well played indeed happy enough with: - main courses: well presented, well cooked, not really well seasoned. I was a chef for nearly 4 years (got to be a Chef de Partie at one point). So I do have some knowledge in the matter disappointed with: Burrata salad (starter): 80% of it is leaves and the remainder a tiny piece of Bufallo Mozzarella (the ones you can find in Lidl and Tesco). I am a 100% sure that the chef is inexperienced. No idea what he/she was doing. If the dish is called "Burrata Salad" the Burrata should be the star of the dish, what really kills it.

    Beautiful view during the day and at night. Great coffee. Friendly service and really tasty foods. A perfect place for a relaxing day. I saw there is a pizza oven now so can't wait to try it!

    We stopped in after our walk up the hill to La Cruz. We were able to sit on the veranda overlooking Benidorm and it was quite beautiful! We had an amazing bottle of red wine from Ribera del Duero. We ordered the salad, salmon and some fresh bread and it was all fresh, cooked to perfection and delicious. We will definitely return!!

    We had a lovely meal here last night. The food was amazing. The service was great and that view just wow! Definitely a must if visiting Benidorm and want a decent meal with a fantastic atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Andy D. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a lovely evening meal here, spectacular views of the Illuminated bays of Benidorm. Food, wine and service were all excellent. We opted for the 18 euro taster menu (cold meats, cheese and seafood) and it was excellent. Pistachio cheesecake and coffee to finish.

  • 1/5 Line H. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was nothing like the description, the waiter seemed more interested in his friends dining and the mojitos were sour. The most disappointing restaurant experience and probably one of the more expensive ones around. Would absolutely not recommend!

  • 5/5 Chayenne R. 1 year ago on Google
    We had lunch at bahia Blanca and took the menu. We had mussels, salmon, carpaccio as a starter. The food was fresh and really nice. As main course we had steak and seabass. Both perfectly cooked. Owner is also very nice and gave us some good tips of the area. Would definitely recommend this restaurant!

    Very good food. Friendly service and great views.

  • 4/5 Carlota Garcia A. 1 year ago on Google
    Worth a visit - just for the incredible views! Best viewpoint in Benidorm with a good selection of cocktails and food. A bit pricey but worth it to escape the hustle and bustle of Benidorm town! And a beautiful little “Cala” to visit just next door!

  • 5/5 janet c. 2 years ago on Google
    Out for a walk and decided to call in for a drink and what a find. Stunning views, food looked lovely and customers seemed very happy with their food. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Will definitely call in for a meal when the evenings warm up a little, already looked at the menu ready for our return.

    Superbe view on Benidorm and the sea. We had a menu of 35 euros, half a bottle of wine included with 4 delicious entrées/tapas ( mussels, tartare of salmon, beef carpaccio, calamars frits) and then a main dish and dessert. The food was delicious, the service exceptionnel... We had a great time. Strongly recommend.

  • 5/5 Rafael F. 3 years ago on Google
    Best of the best! The views are From far the best in the whole of Benidorm. So peaceful and quiet. You can hear the waves to relax. Super clean and new. Great decoration. Superb food! Try the goat cheese salad and the lovely croquettes. Superb coffee since it’s run by the Italian owner. You will be lucky if you get served by Gisel. A lovely Cuban lady. This place is a must!

    Amazing view, splendid food. Starters great, t-bone looked ok but was really good and price was more than fair. Also accommodated above expectations for kids.

  • 5/5 Richard D. 3 years ago on Google
    Just had a beautiful dorado, or sea bream, in our first visit to Bahia Blanca. I order this fish a lot in Spanish restaurants, and I cook it myself, but this was the best I’ve eaten. It was cooked to perfection, a lovely coloration but moist and juicy and very tasty. The white wine was also very good to wash it down. The ambience was so cool and choice of chill-out music perfectly fitted the setting overlooking the bay.

    This restaurant, given time of year (February '24), wasn't very busy BUT it deserves to be due to the fantastic food and service. In addition we consulted with waiter re dairy intolerance and they were able to assist. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Compliments to the chef on preparation & 'delicious-ness'!!

    Breathtaking view and awesome food. Tony, our waiter, was very helpful with his suggestions and as a good-bye gift, he even gave me a cigar. Great guy!
