Amigos Restaurant and Roof Terrace, Old Town, Benidorm - Restaurant & Special Occasion Venue.

As of December 2018, Amigos is rated as one of Benidorm's best restaurants on Trip Advisor 5th of over 800 restaurants in Benidorm with over 1,900 5 star reviews and more reviews total (2,000+) than almost any other restaurant in Spain.

Is holder of no less than 7 Certificate of Excellent awards 1 for every year open including 5 from our previous "Amigos Bar and Bistro" on Calle Buen Retiro and has a 4.9/5 ranking on Facebook with over 5,000 followers and over 500 reviews in addition to a 4.8/5 rating on Google and 50+ reviews. Recently Amigos has been listed as number 1 of 2084 restaurants on Aggregator Website Restaurant Guru.

Amigos moved on Christmas day 2014 and is now situated in the Benidorm Old Town on Calle de la Palma, just around the corner and 120 metres from the Original Amigos which we had previously leased from May 2010 - April 2015.

We are probably best  known for Private Cocktail and Sangria Parties, Hen Parties and Private Dinner Parties, Birthdays, Reunions, Funerals and Golfing groups on the roof terrace or in the 1st floor restaurant. We are also very well known for our a la carte and steak menu from which we serve only Galician fillet steaks.

In March 2017 Amigos was listed as the number 1 Restaurant for Fine Dining on Trip Advisor.

Our third season in the new premises is well underway and I have to say things have honestly exceeded any expectations we had when handing over the 500 euro deposit to the owner for him to take down the "for rent" sign in October 2014 without knowing whether or not we would eventually rent it. Due to the loss of another business in the UK, 500 euros was the earth to us at that point so it was a risk.

In season one - which began when we opened on Christmas Day 2014 - we had painted & decorated, built a couple of new walls, a "client side" bar on the first floor and cleared the roof terrace - which was basically a store room without a roof - and transformed what began as a house, then a pizzaria followed by a simple ground floor tapas bar - into a 3 floor restaurant with functional roof terrace. 

In the off season - January/February 2015/2016 we made a few aesthetic changes to the toilets and ground floor area in addition to replacing the tables, chairs and lighting on the roof terrace.

In season one we were serving on average between 20 and 40 guests 6 nights a week and in season two we increased that number to 40 - 60 guests every night 7 nights a week because we added a third chef.

In our third season we completely reformed and modernised the kitchen so that we can handle maybe 60 - 80 guests per night during the busy spring and summer nights of 2017. We had planned to open 7 nights a week in the 2017 season, however, it wasn't to be. 

One particular day/night in July 2016 we actually served 101 people from the a la carte menu - it would be nice but I wouldn't expect to do that every day.

In early January we knocked out shelves - previously used for a pizza oven - blocking a large recess which now allows our sous chef more space to prepare starters.

We have a new four-ring commercial gas cooker with oven in addition to a char-grill and a new wide two door fridge. New bespoke inox preparation tables and sinks in addition to an improved dish washing area which will all help with efficiency of the kitchen.

With a talented chef and a very hard working sous chef we were offering new dishes and weekly specials to the menu throughout the 2016 season. However, she left in the April and our new chef took over doing around 40-50 guests per night throughout 2017'

For the first time Amigos we offered a 3 Course Christmas Lunch Menu of the Day throughout December 2017 on the Roof Terrace. Ideal for couples or groups. Follow us on Facebook to keep up to date with the Christmas menu.

At the beginning of the 2018 season we put our faith in yet another chef which again didn't work out. We now have another young chef who is arguably the best we have ever had and believe it or not, he started with us a couple of years ago washing up and moved to starters and desserts and now is our main go to man.

He's honest, works and studies hard at his craft and can 

another new chef has joined I'd like to think we can get it up to or just below capacity to maybe 50-70 guests per night in addition to daytime parties.

What a journey the past 8 years has been. Almost 4 years ago in January 2014 my UK business was failing badly and I was sitting in a bank in Benidorm asking how long they would give me before starting repossession proceedings on my house if I didn't pay the mortgage.

My wife Linda was in tears as I asked the VAT inspector in the UK to give me an extra month to pay a VAT bill with money that I had never even received from customers from my UK enterprise. (I was almost through the recession and just needed that little bit of help to hang on). He basically told me to get a loan.

It's not easy to lose a business which has been your baby for about 14 years which is what happened to our UK business.

Since then we have worked tirelessly to get back on track and reform this old classic 3 storey house, pizzeria/tapas bar into a chic and modern restaurant and, it's not finished yet. In addition to the kitchen reformation I have had all 3 floors painted annually and have purchased a new POS system to increase efficiency front of house.

I signed for a lease on the bar across the pathway to Amigos starting March 1st 2018. Currently refurbishing it and turning it into a Cocktail Bar to support the restaurant. It seems like a good fit - only time will tell :) - I'll post more about the Cocktail Bar as it develops - It opened at Easter 2018.

Although we only officially open in the evenings, we will always open in the day for private parties, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and celebrations for 10* or more people. Call 07951 776 435.

“Christmas Day Meal.”
Greeted by the a very welcoming owner of the business. Super friendly feel to the restaurant. Our Christmas table was fully laid for Christmas by the window surrounded by Christmas decorations. We certainly felt special being part of the limited invite an greeted with a glass of bubbly.

The food simply put was excellent. Well cooked and tasty and plenty of it . I dont think I are again until 24 hours later lol.

When we left we had forgot to say goodbye to the owner (we simply thought he was busy with the other tables only to here my name called out when we had made a few steps down the street. It was the owner, and he wanted to personally thank us for attending his Christmas experience. What lovely way to depart his restaurant. I should also point out that I'm a trans woman and not once was I missgendered at any point. We would certainly recommend Amigos to everyone for a 1st class dinning experience.

“Scrumptious food Excellent service”
We were recommended Amegos. Food was the tastiest I've experienced. Lots of flavours complimenting each dish and presentation so artistic.
Only negative we were seated next to a window and at the foot of a staircase so we were cold. That said it was December.
Amigos is half way up a side street in the old town. If we hadn't been told about Amegos this gem would have been overlooked.

“Possibly the best Christmas dinner”
Booked this restaurant for Christmas dinner as it was no 1 on Trip Advisor and we were not disappointed in a sea of mediocre restaurants Amigos is definitely the Captain's table.
