The restaurant is located in the Plaza de la Constitución, in the old town.

Three oysters with a glass of wine is the successful claim of the Ostreria Bi-arritz. But it is not the only thing on offer; they also have scallops and snails, among others. Visitors say that the price for this type of snack is economical and that the quality is excellent. The truth is that three oysters and a glass of wine for less than 7 euros is very good, isn’t it? So now you know; if you want a top quality tapa, you can enjoy it at Calle Santo Domingo, 17.
3. Cerveceria Excalibur
It’s not all about Basque bars, there are also those that you might find elsewhere in Spain and that you might miss in an area so geared towards international tourism. One of those classics, with good service and finger-licking tapas, is the Cervecería Excalibur. What’s more, those who have been there say that the service is exceptional. If you want to try it, you can do so at Travesía San Miguel, 9.
4. El Rincón de La Croqueta
If every time you order a beer you say to yourself under your breath “how good would croquettes be now, please, let the tapa be croquettes”, this is the ideal place. It’s famous for having the best croquettes in Benidorm, which accompanied with a cold beer result in that mix of 10 so typical of our gastronomy. And, if you were wondering what they’re filled with, they come in many different flavours. It’s in Avenida Ruzafa, 2.
5. Tapería Ayala
You can find some of the traditional tapas and raciones. The place is located in Cala de Finestrat, so the environment is also very pleasant.

Among Benidorm’s Basque restaurants is La Tapería. It’s the ideal place to start with a tasty pintxo at the bar to whet your appetite and then enjoy a meal on a whim. It has very good comments about the quality and quantity. People talk about the meat and the good wine. You’ll find it walking down Calle Santo Domingo, at number 6.

Another Basque restaurant you must visit is Pintxos Aurrera. Those who have been there say that they have had to visit it several times because of the great variety it offers.
