Beniasia in Benitaxell – Asian, but with a difference

As soon as you enter Beniasia, it becomes clear that the usual clichés of an Asian restaurant are banned here. No red lanterns, no golden dragons – instead, clean lines, lots of wood and an open, inviting atmosphere. The dining area has a modern feel, and the large terrace is perfect for long summer evenings. Add to that a team that is friendly, attentive and pleasantly unobtrusive – you immediately feel welcome without it seeming stiff.

The menu? A culinary adventure that deliberately goes beyond the expected. Alongside classics such as sushi and gyoza, there are dishes you wouldn't expect to find here: oysters in tempura, fried scallops, crispy seaweed and croquetas caseras with duck. Even the starters show that someone with courage and creativity is at work here. The main courses are also anything but routine – from classic Peking duck of outstanding quality, noodles with crisp organic vegetables and chicken in Thai green curry to perfectly cooked beef fillet with sha-cha sauce. The quality of the ingredients is consistently high.

Sushi lovers will also find exciting variations here – such as the „Uromaki Albufera“ roll with eel or the „Foie“ nigiri with duck liver. The rice is cooked to perfection, the fish is fresh and aromatic – and, as with everything at Beniasia, a lot of love has gone into the details.
