Expats First Steak in a Decade
Harry Poulton, a British expat who moved to Benidorm around 10 years ago after a lads holiday, has enjoyed his first steak meal in Spain. He documented the experience on TikTok, where he has 67,300 followers, and left many shocked with his choice of doneness.
The Steakhouse Discovery
Harry ventured to the Old Towns back streets in search of a decent steakhouse. He found the Entrecôte Steakhouse Salsa Café de Paris, a Spanish restaurant that opened last month. It serves charcoal-grilled premium meats from Galicia, aged up to 21 days, with a signature sauce.
Ordering Controversy
Harry ordered the Entrecôte steak and requested it well done, a choice that drew criticism from viewers. One commenter said, "Well done c'mon you're having a laugh," while another joked, "Well done? Surprised you didn't get kicked out?" Some defended the restaurant, with one user admitting it was the best steak they had eaten in years.
Meal Review
Harry described the meat as "very very juicy, full of flavour, it's been cooked to perfection and covered in their signature sauce." He detected hints of butter, pepper, and possibly brandy in the sauce. He also appreciated that the restaurant cooked the meat well, as he dislikes seeing it raw or bloody.
Dessert and Final Verdict
After the main course, Harry had a Pain Perdu and tiramisu. He concluded that the experience was "incredible, mouth-watering" and praised the ability to choose your own meat, friendly staff, quick service, and reasonable prices. He recommended the steakhouse for anyone looking for a decent steak in Benidorms Old Town.
