Went to this restaurant for my 50th birthday which was organised for me by my friends, there was 17 of us and the owners went out of their way to make it a very special night, they arranged a very nice set menu and prepared a very special birthday cake, the night was perfect and I will be returning should...

We were a party of 17 ladies and we all had a fantastic evening. This was booked before we arrived in Benidorm and the communication between Frederick and the organiser was great and they were like long lost friends when we arrived :) The tables were decorated beauifully and birthday banners were also put up on the walls. Considering there... More

I booked a table with Fred for our hen party (16 of us) and he offered us a set menu at an extremely reasonable price. When we arrived as promised he had decorated the restaurant and made a huge fuss of us. The food was lovely and the wine delicious... Quite honestly we are still astonished at the value for... More

I loved everything about this place. We visited based on TripAdvisor reviews we'd seen and were very glad we did. We went on a Wednesday night, after 9pm, were given an incredibly warm welcome and seated in this charming little Old Town restaurant. Fred is a delightful character and incredibly passionate about his food; he's worked all over the world... More

Went without booking a table and just got us in. Was already a large party of 16 in but didn't effect the quality of service or the meal one bit. One of the party even brought music and we all ended up having a big sing along which just added to the night and the meal. All was totally flawless... More

Absolutely brilliant food here! Really is the best place I have eaten in in Benidorm. Fred and Mary who own it are really friendly and Fred is a brilliant chef. The menu is great and I have never had a bad meal here. Definitely try it, gets very busy so make sure you book.

12th May 2013. Three of us went to the Vagabond for an evening meal and I enjoyed it very much. My fellow diners are regular visitors to Benidorm and discovered this restaurant a couple of years back. It is quite small, located in one of the many alleys in the own town, but it was nicely decorated and had a... More

We went for dinner, the restaurant was nearly full. Everyone was most charming and cared we had a great time. Frederick is a legend! The house menu at13.95 euros gives a great choice and for once in Spain the deserts are actually tasty! The house wine at10.50 was good too. Definitely recommend this restaurant

The food is amazing. A little bit different from the norm and the owners/chefs Frederick and Marie serve up a delicious menu. The pork with strawberry sauce is amazing. You need to book up in advance though as it gets busier and busier every year. Drop them an email to book up. You won't be disappointed. A very warm and... More
