Although I haven't tried them yet, I have seen Hoff van Holland and Two Palms recommended on here and we are hoping to try them at Xmas.

Do a search for Hoff van Holland and you'll find a thread with details of location.

I don't really recommend Tony Roma's. The ribs are OK but they are very expensive for what they are. I have to say I am not keen on "chain" places like Pizza Hut and I'd put this in the same league (it was only later that I realised Tony Roma's was a global franchise or I'd have never gone in), so maybe I'm not the right person to judge it.

Hi, can't remember the name of the restaurant but its on the corner next to les dunes suites(seafront) .can recommend the mixed grill and salmon in garlic sauce.Pizza and chicken on the menu aswell.

Hi B.B.B. I would also recommend the Hoff Van Holland, I've been several times and thoughoughly enjoyed it, here are some directions that I have copied and pasted, David the Mod put them on for someone else and I have found them in the archives

If you were coming into the Old Town from the Parque De L'Aiguera side, you would pass the Hotel Bristol Park which is on Calle Doctor Fleming. Just before you enter the pedestrianised part of the town (Paseo De La Carretera) there is a street to your right called Avenida De Rufaza. If you turn into that street and walk a few yards uphill, you should come to a little courtyard/square on the right hand side which is filled with small bars and restaurants. I am pretty sure that Hof Van Holland is one of them.

The only thing is, I have a feeling that they close on a Monday but not 100% sure. I have the phone number on a card somewhere but it's probably in the loft with all my holiday stuff.

I have also been to the Two Palms once and it was quite nice but also quite dark and intimate, more appealing to couples than for a meal out with mum, I'd say.

I hope you enjoy your last meal out wherever you decide to go.

Hi all,thank you very much for your replies, I sent my son down to check the replies last night before we went out!

looked everywhere for the tuscano, but could not find it! (Our sense of direction is terrible ), we decided we would definately try the hoff van holland next time, (Just that we were miles away - by the time we had finished our last minute shopping , time was knocking on!), plus my son was starting to moan about being hungry , so we went with your suggestion chick, and went to the restaurant next door to les dunes!, what a gorgeous meal, I had fillet steak, with mushroom and cream sauce, mum had fish, and son had spagetti bol, and we thoroughly enjoyed it, and very reasonably priced! 40E, with drinks , would definately go again! - Thanks for recommending it

As for the other restaurants, that was suggested, I have wrote them all down, and will make sure we look for them when we go for a walk in the afternoon, so we're not walking around all night looking for them!

Thanks again! BBB

glad you enjoyed it BBB.Unfortunately we only ate there once during our holiday but we will go a few nights next year.The irish coffee there is gorgeous!Did you happen to notice the name of the restaurant?The food at les dunes suites is very nice aswell.This is where we stay,excellent views

I know that this is a bit late now but I've just found the card for Hof Van Holland. I always spell it with 2 "F"s but it has only one on the card so that must be the correct spelling.

I have the exact address and telephone number for anyone who may be interested in booking in the future, it does get very busy so it is advisable to book in advance to secure a table.

The phone number is 96 585 23 52

The exact address is Ruzafa 2, Rincon Espanol, 16-17
03501 Benidorm

Hi chick, the restaurant we went into, was the one next to les dunes- (which is on the corner), I didn't catch the name although my mum swears it was called les dunes, but les dunes was next door, and their restaurant was located inside the hotel!, but we'll be definately going again! Infact (a bit off topic, but I have found some great flights for next year, so just in the process of booking again! - can't believe this times yesterday, I was sat drinking sangria )

Sue, - I have wrote that address down, and will definately book next time, thankyou

Belly!

Hiya BBB
Glad to hear you've had a nice time.
The restaurant isn't called "Los Ranchos" by any chance.?
(going from memory)

Sanji

yes Sanji thats it I'm sure

Hi there!

Yes I'm nearly sure that is what it may have been called!

Could I just eat one of their juicy steaks now

Going from memory again.

loads of tables outside under awnings, that may or many not be in situ, depending on the weather.
Up a step inside into the back of the restaurant are set tables and the bar is on the left hand side.
At Xmas they have a model display, but at other times there are wine bottles and old Spanish nick- nacks there.
It's not a big place.
Am I warm.?

Sanji

Very warm!
