El Charquito - Sagunt

Passing the area, we found this nice restaurant and ate a delicious angus , drink a owner recommended red wine, all was very good at decent price.

We came to Canet for the day and were looking for a nice meal, searching for a place that had a variety beyond just rice dishes. We certainly weren 't disappointed, as just about everything we ordered as was excellent. The bravas were just right, with handmade alioli and hot paprika we prefer them this way, rather than drenched in tomato sauce. My son had the iberian secret , which is the most tender part of the pork loin, and he was very happy. We also ordered calamares a la romana, mejillones al vapor and a mixed salad. The calamares were tendy and tasty, with a nice light batter. The salad was substantial with fresh ingredients. The only complaint on the food was about the mussels, as the sauce is a little too heavy for our preference, as we rather enjoy letting the bi valve take center stage. All of these great starters were topped off by an arroz con bogavante al seco, or dry lobster rice as opposed to the brothy variety, which is more commonly found throughout Spain. It was excellent! My only complaint is that the portion for two was pretty small, so it was a good thing we ordered so many appetizers. I ordered a glass of rueda and ribera del duero and both were fantastic. The service was a little slow, but overall very nice people. I look forward to coming back and trying their other rice dishes!

We were invited for dinner to the Charqito . The place is very busy, please make a reservation in advance. Our favorite were Calamari (squid) and Gambas (Prawns), lovely selection if wine. Our dinner was absolutely delicious, thank you!
