We enjoy Cote Jardin in Benimar. Lovely atmosphere, fantastic food and great staff. I would certainly recommend for a special occasion.

We went to a new restaurant called Auberge and it was very nice. Decorated very nicely and good atmostphere. Nice choice on the menu too.

The Hot Stone Restaurant at El Raso is great and somewhere different that is not just your normal restaurant - you cook your food (steak, fish, chicken, veg on request) on a hot stone at your table to your requirements. Great fun!

We always enjoy Fratellis on the square in Benijofar - lovely food and good service. Do usually have to book for a weekend though.

For a special treat I highly recomend la Heradura. okay you have a short drive to montesinos but its on the main drag and it is a wonderful experience, typically spanish, with an amazing menu of the highest order. its not somewhere youd go unless it was a special occasion or you were happy to spend a few quid. you can dine in the large dining room, outside in the beautiful spanish courtyard or you can book one of their many small and intimate dinning rooms, it really is a lovely experience.

Just come back from Portico Mar, Guardamar. Excellent food, lovely presentation and excellent service, nice surroundings......3 course meal with wine, lunchtime 14,95.....evening 17,95......ideal for that special occasion

Thanks everyone for the recommendations - Ill have a think and let you know where I decide on and how it was, more importantly!!

Hi All, Just to let you know we went to the new restaurante in Benijofar (mainly because we didnt have to take the car!) Auberge. It was beautiful. The food and service were excellent and the staff made my wifes birthday very enjoyable. Will definitely be going back.
