BENITACHELL & GATA BENITACHELL Restaurante CUMBRE : Take the Cumbre del Sol road and go right “over the top” and continue down towards the beach. On left side (with large pool). The top restaurant of the Cumbre area and a very high standard of creative cusine is maintained. Best to book in summer. Good for groups. Tel : 96 649 3213 / f. Mon (& Jan.) E-mail: [email protected]/ www.restaurantelacumbre.com/. Restaurante MONTEVIDEO : From Benitachell on Cumbre del Sol road - 400m on left. Years ago this was a popular spot and it is now under new management and with some reports indicating a happy revival. Recommended menu-del- dia. Probably better in evenings as at midday there is bar noise from “brickies” coming in to drink. Easy parking. Muzak just about tolerable. Tel: 96 649 3142 Restaurante Bull & Bear (formerly Tres Arcos) : Opp. to, and overlooking, the Mas-y-Mas at Benitachell. This is a carvery restaurant and proud of its meat and fresh vegetables. Do not overlook this restaurant for they have a separate bar on the lower level of the house (see below under English pub). We cannot (yet) comment on their attitude towards muzak in the restaurant. Open Tues- Sat from 13:00h - 17:00h & Sunday lunch 12:30h-17:00h (but best to book). Hours are being reviewed and extended according to season. Functions for 18 - 50 guests (both inside or using 3 outside terraces and to suit all budgets). The complex is completed by a 2-star hotel with 5 boutique en- suite bedrooms, all housed within a trad. 17thC Spanish finca of charm & character and surrounded by mature tropical gardens.
