About the Place
Villa Sofia
Welcome to Villa Sofia, a delightful pub nestled in the picturesque town of Benicàssim, Spain. Located at Carrer la Corte, 27, this charming establishment has quickly become a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Known for its inviting atmosphere and cozy setting, Villa Sofia is the perfect spot to unwind after a day at the beach, offering an array of exquisite culinary delights and a great selection of beverages.
Regulars often herald it as their go-to post-beach bar, where the ambiance is soothing, and the sunsets are breathtaking. As one patron, Tiago Cardoso, noted, “the atmosphere is amazing,” suggesting that the setting is as much a part of the experience as the food itself. Villa Sofia prides itself on providing a welcoming environment, with young and hardworking staff dedicated to excellent service, even as they strive to balance orders with maintaining the cleanliness of the space.
The menu features a variety of gastronomic options sure to entice any palate. Highlights include the “fried boquerones,” a fried fish dish that has garnered rave reviews, and “puntillas,” which can be paired beautifully with alioli. Not all options hit the mark, as some diners have found the nachos and Caesar salad to be lacking in authenticity, yet flavors and freshness remain a theme throughout the offerings. For seafood lovers, the calamares and fresh salads stand out as must-try items that are both satisfying and delightfully presented.
But it’s not just about the food. Patrons rave about the exceptional coffee. With its rich flavor and smooth finish, Villa Sofia serves up everything from cortados to iced lattes, and the homemade pastries and cakes complete the experience. As Pratik Ruparel aptly points out, the café vibe combined with high-quality drinks and delectable treats makes it a gem in the area.
Whether you're seeking a lively dinner, a casual brunch, or the simple joy of sipping cavas as the sun sets, Villa Sofia invites you to enjoy its unique blend of culinary creativity and relaxed charm. Remember to take advantage of their covered seating—ideal for sunny days or quick rain showers—while indulging in a delightful dining experience in this coastal paradise.

Stories & Reviews
Guestbook
“ Our go-to post-beach bar! The atmosphere is amazing and the place is very cozy. Notice that the bathrooms in the back are public (and very well maintained). A perfect place to have some cavas at sunset after a long day in the beach! All service is offered by very young and hardworking folk. They could take some time to attend you (or prioritise cleanup a desk instead of having your order) but that's perfectly fine for learners. ”
“ The staff were really really nice. We ordered the fried boquerones and was great and the puntillas was excellent but I don't recommend the nachos or the Cesar salad, although my friends loved the salad..it comes with fried chicken and a sauce that is more ranch than Cesar. ”
“ Well I just was walking along the beach and decided to seat here to have a brunch. They have a really calm and charming atmosphere plus seafood which I like so much. My favorite calamares frites and salad with something, both were delicious also a nice ice cream with cake and coffee we liked there. By the way they have covered tables in case of too sunny or rainy weather. And clean and nice toilet. Definitely not a cheap place. ”
