We are going for the steak offer this week so nice to read good comments about it.

We have been for the carvery and its great value especially for the kids.

Commented Richard in Quesada 2011-05-14 13:25:28 UTC

This is one of the best places that I have been to, I would not say that the food was the best of the best but if you take every thing into consideration from the atmosphere to the staff and the fact that we got very drunk and they took us home in their mini bus and then came back to collect us the next morning so we could get the car. Now that is service and they did not charge a penny. But we did tip the driver well

Thanks all we look forward to seeing you again. the Black Bull

Benijofar Life Website

It's great to see this website starting to take off - I don't know if you welcome ideas from subscribers but I would like to see an information page about Benijofar, maybe a page where people can advertise things for sale, weather forecast (or maybe a link to one). Just a few ideas but so far its looking good. Good luck for the future.

Benijofar

Hi I agree with youR suggestion.

In terms of selling items I had suggested an ebay type page, I further suggested calling the Quesada life page "Quebay" so why not call the Benifor page "Bebay"

Hot Rock Restaurant

Well, last night we wanted to try something new and ventured down to El Raso where we found The Hot Rock Italian Steak Restaurant. To be honest, I didnt fancy it....but with no other ideas from anyone and time ticking by we decided to go for it and was I glad we did. This was THE best meal we have had anywhere for ages!! Basically, you have a choice of steak (2 sizes), chicken or fish (sea bass or trout)- these are served on a hot rock (sort of a tile thing) which remains hot throughout your meal and basically you cook your food on it!! My husband and I both opted for steak which was the most tender, tasty steak I have ever had. You sort of slice pieces of the steak, which has been seared on the outside and has a gorgeous flavouring on it, and then cook them to your taste. You get 3 sauces and a side order included. The small steak (200g) was €16,90 and trust me it was enough for anyone! My hubby ordered the large steak (300g e21,90) but admitted after that the small one would have been plenty - he ended up sharing the large one with my daughter who had ordered pizza. We both ordered fries as our side but next time I think we would order one fries and then maybe mushrooms or onions. The sides like mushrooms, onions, tomatoes are also cooked on your hot rock and come with an olive oil, honey and mustard (I think)mixture which caramelises as they cook - my mouth was watering when she told us this!! As well as the hot stone meals they also do pizza and pasta. The pepperoni pizza was gorgeous too and definitely home made. Our bill was around €50 and we each had one drink. I didnt feel it was too expensive because the meal was so delicious. The lady serving us who I presume is the owner was extremely friendly and polite. The place is done out lovely and was very clean. We will definitely be back there. It is just behind Stan and Ollies on the roundabout as you go into El Raso. DELICIOUS and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!


We have been to this restaurant too and were very pleasantly surprised. It's not the cheapest around like you say but the steak was delicious, tasty and so tender and the small one is definitely enough for anyone! My partner had the seabass and loved that - it had been defined and again was very tasty. We would certainly recommend it.

Fiestas

Does anyone know the dates for any of the Fiestas this year? I want to be sure that I and my family are in Spain this year, we have missed out for the last 2. I keep telling my parents how good they are but never get the dates right. Can anyone help PLEASE

Benijofar

Hi Paula
we are using fiesta.net website to find out dates, Theres been a lot of discussion about this on the quesadalife website so there is some local info on there regarding dates

Commented we love it here in Quesada 2011-05-15 19:04:18 UTC

In Benijofar, the fiesta of San Jaime is on the 25th July but the celebrations start the Sunday before with the offering of flowers and the crowning of the Queen and her maids of honour. In Rojales it is the fiesta of San Pedro and that is on the 29th June so again celebrations around this date. Hope this helps!!

Commented Benijofar Life in Benijofar 2011-05-15 19:44:25 UTC

Thanks for these dates - nice to have an idea of when the fiestas are particularly as we too have family coming over and it is nice for them to see the parades.
