Restaurant La Fava — Restaurant in Benidorm

Just left La Fava and can only say this is by far the best cooking I have come across in Benidorm. All the dishes are imaginative and beautifully presented , I’d even say they are pretty. When you have a chef that cooks with his heart coupled with a lot of talent and intelligence, the results will be exceptional, as they are here. The only problem for us was that we over ate, which is forgivable as the menu is stuffed with so many dishes you want to try. One dish of pork and tuna eaten like a taco was really excellent. Another tuna dish was melt in the mouth gorgeous. Oxtail dish was great, so soft and really deep flavour. There were too many highlights to list here but the cooked cheesecake must get a mentioned. It was just to die for, so creamy, rich but light, sublime. The staff are very welcoming and the chef comes out and explains the menu in English, which was much appreciated as my Spanish is one notch below terrible. Definitely worth a visit if you’re on holiday...

A Culinary little hidden gem in Benidorm! Dining at La Fava was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The market-inspired cuisine crafted by Chef Fran was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was a testament to his culinary expertise, showcasing fresh, high-quality ingredients and innovative flavors that delighted our palates. The customer service was equally impressive. The staff were incredibly attentive and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Their recommendations were spot-on, enhancing our dining experience even further. La Fava is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy exquisite food and top-notch service. Highly...

Si algo define este restaurante es su comida Gourmet Tradicional. Una vuelta a la calidad de la comida de antaño con productos frescos y tecnicas antiguas, que dan un toque de sabor único a cada plato, pero con toques diferentes y modernos. Se nota el amor por la cocina del cheff, basada en los conocimientos de su abuela, que te explica la elaboración tradicional de los platos y los ingredientes utilizados. Comida de excelente calidad, trato inmejorable y mucha cantidad. Pedimos carpaccio de higos y foie, pollo a la Paleta (técnica de cocina tradicional de los pescadores). Como principal hemos pedido el arroz a banda, que te lo sirven de dos tandas, según nos explicó el cocinero porque por un lado se cocina la parte del fumet y por otra el arroz. Primero te sirven el rape que sirve de base para el fumet con patatas guisadas y picada para que lo comas en lo que se cocina el arroz. Después la paella de arroz. Sabor impresionante donde se nota la calidad de los productos de lonja. De postre, torrija de Pan Brioche con Mermelada de Frambuesas y Helado de Leche Merengada, simplemente increíble de sabor y textura. Además hemos visto que tienen plato de arroz del día por 6€,que iremos a probar en cuanto podamod. Totalmente recomendable, buena cocina de mar en Benidorm, lejos de los restaurantes para Guiris con calidad mediocre. Es mejor reservar antes de ir ya que el restaurante es pequeño, según nos dijo el dueño porque prefieren abarcar menos y dar mayor calidad, lo que ya dice mucho del...
