THE BISTRO panacea london lounge in Benidorm

"I came here after reading all the great reviews, and wow — the food really is amazing! Everything was full of flavour and so tasty. The prawn starter was honestly the best I’ve ever had, and it’s hard to find good prawns in Benidorm. So glad I decided to come here — highly recommend!"

"Visit this place 4 times while in Benidorm. It was brilliant ever time we came. Chicken burger was very good. The staff was very friendly. Would definitely recommend it. Will be back next time we come to Benidorm"

"Wow, absolutely amazing food and service. If your visiting Benidorm then stop by here for a meal. The meatballs were amazing, the carbonara was to die for, starters were spicy wings and garlic prawns. So glad we found this little gem."

"Lovely clean restaurant-your host is also the chef -helped by his Wife . Meals are inexpensive for a restaurant as are the drink prices. Good mix of Arabic and Mediterranean dishes all freshly cooked to order ! Wife asked for no cheese on her seafood pizza -no problem ! They also do takeaway pizzas ! Toilets are immaculate-as is the whole place . We'll worth a visit."

"A fantastic little gem of a restaurant. We went in because we liked the vibe and it was quiet, kept coming back every day because the food was amazing. Best steak in Benidorm. Best chips I've ever had even at home (don't tell my mom). The waiter was very pleasant and always greeted us with a smile. Easy to recommend this restaurant."

"Had a lovely meal here tonight, easily the best chicken burger and wings I’ve ever had, cocktails were lovely with a good selection. Service was quick, cheerful and pleasant. Was weirdly quiet for what I’d expect would be prime time but I’m not sure why? This place is fantastic. Definitely recommend. Beware its cash only!"

"The food itself was very tasty, though it was a bit heavy on the pepper. The fries were amazing - very fresh served and crunchy. The portion size was reasonable, but we were quite hungry, and when we asked for bigger servings, they weren’t accommodated—even though we would have been happy to pay more. It’s understandable to keep portions standard sometimes, but for €15 a plate, not leaving us full felt a little disappointing. For a quick meal, I’d still recommend it."

"We had such a brilliant evening at London Bistro in Benidorm. The food was incredibly fresh—every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. You could really taste the quality in every bite. What made the night even better was the service. John and Souhail were absolutely fantastic. They were attentive in all the right ways—friendly, professional, and genuinely warm. When we mentioned we were from Middleton, Souhail lit up—he actually knew it and spoke about it with real familiarity. It was such a nice surprise and made us feel instantly at home. That kind of personal connection really sticks with you. Nothing was too much trouble, and their timing and attention to detail were spot on. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and the service are this good. We left feeling properly looked after and already talking about when we’ll come back. Huge thanks to John and Souhail—you made it special."
