Benidorm's Old Town is a place where time seems to stand still. Away from the hustle and bustle of the grand hotels and shopping avenues, this network of cobblestone streets preserves the city's most authentic essence. Here, eating isn't just a necessity: it's an experience that connects with the history, the environment, and the local culture.
Old Town: history, charm, and gastronomy
Located between Levante and Poniente beaches, the old town—known as "Old Town"—has always been the heart of Benidorm. Its traditional architecture, colorful facades, and relaxed atmosphere make it an ideal place to lose yourself and discover small gastronomic treasures.
It's in this setting that traditional taverns, family-run bars, and modern restaurants that focus on fusion and quality coexist. Every corner tells a story, and every dish served speaks to the city's past and present.
Corners that surprise: from traditional bars to modern proposals
As you explore the streets of the old town, you'll find something for every taste: from classic tapas bars to international cuisine venues with innovative concepts. Here you can have breakfast under the sun, sip an aperitif overlooking the sea, dine by lantern light, or extend the evening with craft cocktails.
This diversity makes Old Town one of the best places in Benidorm to discover authentic flavors and atmospheres full of character. The menu caters to both those seeking a casual meal and those who value attention to detail, aesthetics, and the complete experience.
