Bar Diferent is a laid-back café and casual dining spot tucked inside the Centro Comercial Alaire in Benitachell, Alicante. Its relaxed vibe, combined with both indoor and outdoor seating, makes it a popular local hangout for catching up over coffee or unwinding with a drink after exploring the area.

The atmosphere feels welcoming and unpretentious, shaped largely by the approachable hosts and the mix of local residents and international visitors who gather here. It’s common to find groups sharing laughs across tables, creating a friendly buzz that complements the straightforward setting.

The menu quietly stands out for its hearty, familiar offerings—kid-friendly options like fries and burgers are consistent crowd-pleasers, alongside traditional tapas and a simple but well-executed breakfast. Regulars appreciate the balance of quality and value, especially noting that portions satisfy without breaking the bank.

Morning visits tend to draw in those looking for a reliable breakfast with good ingredients, while afternoons and evenings see customers settling in with a coffee or opting for one of the bar’s homemade dishes such as the kebab or the steak and ale pie. Takeaway options make it convenient for people passing through the commercial center.

Very nice place to go to for a coffee or a drink. Darren, the owner and Ruben are very friendly and nice persons. We ate a breakfast there several times. Good quality and quantity for little money. Fries and burgers are great. We recommend this place.

I love the venue, have to travel a way to get there but has always been well worthwhile. Darren and Rubin are great hosts and the customers that get in there are very friendly and most are amusing including many nationalities who all laugh and joke together, give it a try.

I have been here so many times and have never been disappointed, it's about time I leave a review ! The food is always delicious and very well priced. What you see in the picture is the small breakfast and as always we ate every last bite and enjoyed it very much. It's hard to get a good breakfast over here with lovely produce, but they have really perfected it. You can sit inside, or sit outside in the sun or in the shade. It's nice to sit where we were looking across to the beautiful mountains and greenery. The staff & owners are always so friendly and welcoming and that really creates a lovely atmosphere which is another reason why we return again and again.
