Looks nice but I must be old fashioned and would never wear a cap in a restaurant
😂
What is impossible to translate into print is the flavor and texture of that meal. For those that slag off that the chicken was on steroids, go back and listen to how the Chicken Kiev was prepared. The breast is pounded out. The fact that the chicken was not at all dry is a testament to the chef's technique. All the comments about this restaurant being no better than pub food, there is no accounting for lack of taste. If I would be in Lee's position, I would have dropped whatever the hell I was doing for the experience of getting into this restaurant knowing that otherwise there would be no way of gaining entry. Excellent video!

You get a invite for a meal and let the couple pay for themselves tutoring tut tut
Youre good company Lee. No wonder they asked you. Fair play to them.
Now that is my kind of holiday , chilled , relaxed , fine food 10/10🌟
Hard to vicariously taste the food however the nicest thing about this dining experience is that you basically own the table for the night. I am sure the prices have to be considered when you have the entire table but to me that is so rare and wonderful.
@@louisstennes3 yeah own it for the night ..that being 2 hrs only! 🤣
Apparently they open evenings 7pm.to 9pm only..
I must say I'm a bit surprised the focus is on British food and not Spanish, but that said.....wow, that is definitely my sort of meal. Big, hearty portions with proper, good quality ingredients. The chicken kiev looks amazing. This sort of food might be old fashioned, but there's a reason it's popular.
Best vlog I’ve seen of you where you looked chilled and relaxed and really looked like you were enjoying it.The food looked delicious and that is what you expect from such a highly rated restaurant. Hope you finished the night off well.
Lee that was an AMAZING reveiew, you looked so relaxed. Michael and Mary were brilliant guests and fair play to them for inviting you, one of your best reviews in a long time. We are booked in for a week on Sat and I've now picked my choices. Kiev and definitely that Cheese cake, my mouth was slavering. It looked an amazing experience. Been before but ages ago. Ill say hello to Adam for you 😂 Thank you. Hope you enjoyed your quick break
We were in the Canfali Hotel in early June which is a 2 minute walk from there. I guess it wouldn’t have mattered because of the waiting list, but thanks for the tip. Having been snobby about Benidorm for years I now love it especially the old town and the poniente side. Great video.
That menu was pretty much the same we were cooking at the bistro in the 80's. Not knocking it, it's good food, but love Spanish food, and you may notice from my knick-name, love fish and seafood. £50 a head was a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. A good evening like that makes a holiday.
Looks like a slightly fancier version of my dog’s dinner…
great vlog food looked amazing so nice of the couple to invite you along hope you had a great time
They were a lovely couple. and to invite you to eat with them .fantastic place and lovely food xx❤
Ians is the best! The food is amazing and so is the service. Such a friendly welcome and lovely surroundings! Lots of laughs too! Have been many times and it's a must do each time we go to beni! And yes the chicken kiev is like no other. Incredible!
What a great place. Proper food, proper portions, great value. I'm so impressed you could relax and take your time. Ian 2 was lovely too. Makes me want to book a flight to Benidorm just to go there! Cheers
The food wow! lovely place. Would defo go there. Great presentation, good sense of humour from Ian and co. Not being up themselves. I just got they loved serving their customers. Loved the vlog Lee thankyou.
The finished products look like they're from an episode of the Galloping Gourmet, circa 1968.
Do a regular vlog where you get viewers to buy you a meal….
So pleased to see you back in Benidorm. It looked a wonderful restaurant.
What a lovely video, Lee. I'm stuck in hospital on the Isle of Wight after a major op. That's given me the impetuous to get well and go there. Thanks again for the enjoyment. 😉👍🏴
Hey Peter!!! Just want to say hi and get well soon and keep your spirits up. Big hugs my friend. Lee. 🕶️
We ordered the soup in the basket but it didn't last very long.
Hi Lee glad to hear you have had a good time at Ian’s as the good look lovely and delicious. ❤️❤️
well presented food :) will have to try Ians when i next go :)
Lee glad you had a great time food looks amazing and great seeing you so relaxed, what a great couple and nice of them to invite you really all we want if a good meal better than we can make at home 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Gr8 vid Lee, I think you were battered like the Kiev 🍺🍷🤣
Circa 1980, blast from the past, the menu, the décor. However it did look pretty amazing, and a chicken on steroids. What lovely owners.
We went 2 weeks ago and booked again. Really good food, lovely atmosphere and more than anything the staff are lovely. My daughter had the chicken Kiev and could not finish it , the video and your reaction still does not get over the size of it …. It’s like an entire chicken
Book your flights then book your table at Ian's.
Top spot, everything is cooked fresh, you have your table for the evening, and the guys there are fantastic...we go everytime we're in Benidorm. Already booked for September and Xmas...love it!
Nice one Lee.
We used to live nearby and often ate in Ians.
Watching this from Cairns Australia Lee.Havnt seen your travel vlogs since you visited these shores in march this year.Cheers.
What a lovely couple, Lee. Ian's looked awesome, I was eating my tea while watching this - no contest 🤣.
Thanks for sharing and keep them coming.
Hilarious Lee, your mum would have been pleased to see you eat your greens!! cant believe you didnt pick up the tab
Great vlog Lee, we love Ian’s, already booked for October 🥰
Lee is having the life of Lee in Benidorm.
The food looks delicious and at a reasonable price. The chicken Kiev is huge. You'd think it's a turkey .
The cheese cake yummy yummy
I can't believe that you can have the table all night, It's great, as it makes it a compatible eating experience .
Chicken Kiev would love to tast it . Next time going to Benidorm will try a book a table.
Love the look and quality of the food , it's the people who make the place what it is , and no shouting or angry chefs in there I hope 😂, I always like to sample local cuisine when away but that looked ooooooooooooh 😮😮😮lol 👍
What a loverly couple.and the place and food looked fantastic ,i can see why they get such great reviews,
Visited Ians Restaurant last year just the 2 of us ,booked straight away for july this year for 5 this time all disappointed this time ,and won't book again ,staff are brilliant, none of us enjoyed our food ,and the portion of veg for 5 people no different from years previous for two ,definitely worth a visit.
Going in October booked the restaurant this morning thanks Lee looking forward to it ❤
Hi Lee, I just watched your latest vlog in that beautiful restaurant. I have to say it looks very homely and friendly and not overcrowded. The steak looked amazing👍 medium spot on, saute potatoes, my favourite. The only thing I would say is obviously it's not a cheap place to go to but it's great for something special 👌enjoy your vlog👍🍺🇪🇸 ps one of the best food reviews👏
That's a review we can believe from the atmosphere alone. I wonder if Benidorm has an equally good real Spanish restaurant?
Did you actually let that couple pay for the bill after they allowed you to join them and you made a video out of it? LMAO
1970's English food, Chicken looked well undercooked, veg like my gran used to cooked - boiled to death 🤣Don't really think its exclusive, just another English cafe in Benidorm.
Love your video hope you enjoying your foods lol but anyways keep up the great work:)
Looks somewhat pedestrian food. I suppose the reviews depend upon the local opposition.
Hi Lee looks like you really enjoyed that steak and cheesecake. I'm in Benidorm in October so wanted to book a table for 4 .... OCTOBER FULLY BOOKED!!!! Can you recommend any other nice restaurants, it's the 1st time in BENI. We are stopping for a week at the Regente hotel in Rincon area. All the best Lee ...
Looked great Lee. I'd definitely have a meal there for sure.
Hi Lee not commenting on your latest video yet I just watched the car wow guy test the new hybrid 911 Carrera GTS. He also is taken around a race track with a pro driver! Wow what a machine! I would like you to buy one of these as a last hooray to petrol!
Is this a joke? 😂😂
Great video and what an amazing resturant you guys were great together😂
Hope they’re open end of January when we’re there next. Will try and book. Although a well done steak is sacrilege. Bet the chef was well upset. Medium rare to medium all the time 🥩 👍
Shandypants! You were hammered! Looked fab, just booking for October so could well give em a call and see about getting a table.
That will be a restaurant I will book when take family next year great review Lee 🌈🏴❤️ I love Benidorm also Palma nova xxxx Tenerife is too samey it all looks the same been there so many times now I just love Benidorm and Mallorca flight times are perfect like that restaurant x great review with lovely couple 🌈🏴❤️
Wow....Wow...Wow! Now that is MY KIND of restaurant. Filet Mignon looks spectacular.
4-5 weeks is now probably 12-15 weeks due to the 'Mac effect'. 😊
How much wine did you drink loool you look merry by the end
I've been to Ians twice and brilliant both times, that pate is to die for!
Watching from Fleetwood Wetherspoons lol.. there's also currently alot of people from the Midlands in Blackpool . Food 9 ❤️
What lovely looking food, and good company, a nice evening had by all,
If your travels in Thailand take you to Pattaya try to get a table at Harlan's. You won't regret it.
Benidorm was built to cater to the English. That is where all the money draw comes from. Cheap airfare, less than two hours to escape the crappy English weather and still enjoy all things English. English breakfasts, Sunday roasts, Fish and chips abound. A section of bars for the rowdies. Brilliant business strategy.
The 1970's has just called and asked for the menu back 🤦🏻♂️😆 Benidorm > Blackpool in the sun. You couldn't pay me to go!
😂
@@JB-Thatisme I'm sure the tourist board will be saddened Marco Pierre White won't be joining them ffs
We made the vlog!!!!!! were at 10.27 (Family at the top table at Sherrys) & walking past the window at 13.33, dont forget to try Sue's Darts bar for the best burgers and unique bar set up
Great vlog pal, food looked great. 👍🏴
What a gorgeous little restaurant Lee. Quality over quantity for once. Xx
Got to agree with you all it looked absolutely amazing 10+ all day long
Brilliant video Lee really enjoyed that one ❤
Good food… good company… great laughs 😋👏🏻👏🏻
Fantastic video Lee,a pleasure meeting you
You Too.
@@TheMacMaster@mdk5112 great you had him along and great video. Now guys - where did you go for drinks and what did you have ? 🍺 🍹 ? Reveal all
Nice one ❗️ I'm buying some peppercorn sauce at the grocery store tomorrow ❗️ I have 6 beef shish kebabs & 4 lamb shishkebabs in the fridge. Gonna try cooking them in the peppercorn sauce ❗️Yummo 👀👍❗️
I have got to say that food looked absolutely delicious.
Hammered at the end there lol!!! Looks like Berni Inn circa 1986 not in a bad way, in a good way
That is by far & away the best ever meal I think you have filmed Lee, No wonder its booked up weeks in advance !
The food at Ian’s looks absolutely delicious.
Going to be even longer waiting list now!😮😮 Wow.😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
If you are still in Benni at the weekend you have got to meet James and Helen of By the Curb who are heading your way. Know you love meeting other vloggers 😎
The place looks fantastic 👌
Really enjoyed this video everyone looked so happy
That cheese cake looked delicious, especially being a baileys one, looked a nice restaurant and friendly staff 👍👍
That was a terrific meal lee 165 that's cheap great work nice people you had the invite from aswell
Tried to book but they’re on holiday when we are there. Gutted. Love your videos. PS steak should be medium rare 😂❤
Nice one lee enjoyed you're vlog 👍
Looks amazing food, just worried about the portion sizes as i could easily polish off the steak , entire tray of veg and potatoes , plus the bread and a starter. As its pricey food i would be missing a course , probably starter so think i would be looking for macy D or local kebab house on way back to hotel.
That was us sat behind you. We watch you all the time. Husband was like that’s him with electric car that’s a load of crap lol. Love watching your reviews brilliant
LOL Say hi from me.
Looks great 😊
Is this near Tapas Alley Old Town? And it looks really good but I like Spanish food in Spain.
The food looks amazing. That steak cut like butter. Nothing worse than a tough chewy steak. I would love to try the chicken Kiev as it’s one of my favs.
Fantastic food fantastic company great restaurant what's not to like.
Menus a bit 1970's but if it works it works, and I'd rather have good hearty portions like those than this tasting menu malarkey that's popular now where you are paying good sovs for food that you need a magnifying glass to see on the plate. Gets my vote.
i associate chicken Kiev with frozen findus pancakes. As a 70's kid they were the fridge fillers along with fish fingers, ice pops and if you were really posh, A Vienetta
@@hongk0ngfu3y I was being polite 🙂Findus frozen pancakes, I used to like them! I wonder if arctic roll was on the menu?
And the new word of the week is 'phenomenal'.
That food looked divine. So much so that my mouth was watering. 😀
Im going to benidorm next friday. I said to my fella "oohh im looking forward to some good food" my fella replies "me to" i said "whats the first thing we should eat?" He replied with a clap of his hands "a ham and cheese toastie" 😂 i was like "wtf...are you actually being serious" he said "yeah spanish ham and cheese toasties are ace"😂😂.
Looked really nice place, liked the no hurry, food excellent going by comments
Price for 6 coronas is incorrect. Well over charged I'm afraid??
i couldnt see what was so great about it, yes its nice, friendly and good food , they stick to what they do and are good at it , and thats all you want from a restaurant
I love a Baileys cheesecake… It’s one of my favourites.
Great video lee as always 💯
must be eating Findus crispy pancakes at home if people are booking 5 weeks ahead for this
Great food lovely service and banter and you met an Irish woman, what more do you wxnt 😂😂 well she sounded irish cheers Lee
Food looks amazing, wish we had one in London ❤
Brilliant vlog
