I had fish which was very good. I dined alone but did not really feel welcome, the vibe was off.
Nice and fresh seafood, to price i think price are to high, beers good and cold, site is very small, close to early 4pm. The idea in these local is very good but is missing something. Tuna was a bit to black not sure if is normal. I definitely recommend to no buy bread here was dry and disgusting i belive they keep the bread for few weeks when next door is a bakery shop and the charge very expensive.
This restaurant was recommended and it lived up to expectations 2 visits in a week shows how much we enjoyed it the choice of fish can be a bit daunting at first and add in not able to speak Spanish but the staff are very friendly (and can be busy) You must try the patatas. a La Pobre I can’t wait to try it at home Gracie’s Marisqueria La Gambita
Nice seafood restaurant where you can choose all the raw ingredients which will be cooked for you, like calamary, octopus, mussels, etc
We discovered this place recently, we were looking for a fish place to have lunch and their fish market called my attention. Everything were fresh and they cooked them just the way we wanted. Just pick and they'll cook it for you. Service was fast too.
Very fresh and the best place in Benidorm for seafood!
Best fresh fish in benidorm, buy it at the display counter, then ask them to cook it for you for just a little more cost
Excellent place to get really fresh seafood! I loved the idea of choosing fish directly from the fish market so they can prepare it for you and serve it to your table. The restaurant doesn't have a menu; you just choose, go to the register, and select your sides and drinks, then wait at your table to be served. All fish is served grilled.
