The Penny Farthing is a British café and restaurant in the Rincón de Loix/Levante area of Benidorm, particularly well known for its traditional English breakfasts. It sits on Calle Derramador, close to the outdoor market and within easy walking distance of many of the apartments and hotels around Levante.
This is very much a traditional British-style café rather than a contemporary brunch venue. The atmosphere is informal, with indoor seating and a sizeable outdoor terrace, and breakfast and lunch are the main focus of the relatively short opening day. The venue is also known locally for classic British dishes such as fish and chips.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Breakfast is one of the main reasons to visit. The Penny Farthing serves traditional English breakfast combinations with bacon, sausages, eggs, beans, tomatoes and toast, with different sizes available.
Reviews repeatedly highlight the use of recognisably British-style bacon and sausages, something that can matter to long-stay British visitors looking for a familiar breakfast rather than a Spanish tostada or continental option.
The menu continues into lunch with British comfort food, including fish and chips, sandwiches and other café-style dishes. It is therefore a useful choice when you want a substantial late breakfast or straightforward lunch rather than an elaborate brunch.
The restaurant can become busy, particularly around market days, so it isn’t necessarily somewhere I would choose for extended laptop work despite Wi-Fi being available.
For BenidormNomads, The Penny Farthing is a good example of how Benidorm’s breakfast scene differs from many Spanish cities: alongside Spanish cafeterías and modern brunch cafés, there is a substantial selection of places serving a genuinely British-style breakfast for residents and long-stay visitors.
