10. Els Capellans

Els Capellans was overall disappointing considering the standard of the Huerto del Cura hotel that it is in, and comes out badly compared to the many excellent restaurants in the Elche area. Food is OK, nothing special. Best was the very good grilled Presa Iberica, but the dessert was very ordinary, and the wine to forget. FYI only a set menu is available, with a few choices. The service is the weakest point : indifferent welcome, unhelpful, and arrogant Maître d'hôtel. My main course was served literally as I put down the soup of my starter. Summer dinner is only outdoors. While it benefits from the lovely setting of the hotel gardens and pool, there also lots of insects under the palm trees and lights. Casual ambiance. The price is reasonable for what you get as location. I would only return, maybe, on a Sunday evening when most other places are closed.

Located in the plaza, next to the Cathedral. Agree that it is lacklustre. Tables outside, under an awning. Smartly dressed waiters but not attentive to customer needs.Limited choice for menu del dia (15 Euros per person) including 1 drink each. Main course of Lobster paella ( Bogavante paella) sounds amazing but in reality is rice with empty lobster shells ! The usual salad and dessert or coffee icluded. Disappointing.

A small restaurant occupying a corner location, comprising 7 x 4 seater & 4 x 2 seater tables. The interior takes on a black & white theme - White tables, black chairs & table cloths. Food served on white plates or oblong black slate tiles & black serviettes.The colour theme continues into the clean, tidy & fresh smelling toilets where there are white tiled walls, greyish/black floors, white porcelain with black soap dispenser, hand dryer & waste bin. No mistaking the "ladies" from the "gents". Both entrance doors clearly identified with large colourful illustrations.There is no visible bar, but a selection of beers, wines, soft drinks etc are on offer.Staff pleasant, polite, efficient & helpful. Spanish spoken, however some English too. Menus in Spanish. Disabled friendly.Nice selection of hamburgers, pizzas, sandwiches, etc. Various desserts available: Brownies, pancakes (crepes) with chocolate sauce & ice cream etc. All food nicely cooked, very tasty & beautifully presented. All very reasonably priced.A very popular venue which gets busy. To save disappointment it is advisable to make a reservation.I will use this restaurant again when next in the area. Recommend .

It is in the town centre,but take a cab here,as we took 45 minutes to find it. However,once ensconced,the standards became evident even in the making of our aperitifs - a G & T and Campari served on a trolley to our table and exactingly made beside us. All before we were shown to our table and realised that apart from 1 other couple,we were the sole customers on a Wednesday night. There was a language problem ; our Espanol not up to the numerous ingredients of each delicate course,so we opted for the tasting menu at a reasonable 30⬠and it was excellent. Small but delicious samples of scallop,salmon ,rabbit and more,and even the dessert had cheese and a Baileys mixture.a great 'find' for foodies who happen to be in the town.Thank you very much for visiting us.We try that our restaurant become a place to feel good and taste flavors of our region and new food trends. We're fixing our a la carte menu to make the list of ingredients more understandable.We glad you enjoyed the dinner.

Flavors of our country with a personal style. Food & music in very warm environment.
Reviewed By CLSDean
Bordering on fine dining, La Musa de Velarde serves creatively designed dishes that are pretty to behold and wonderfully appealing.Our family of four ordered fried green tomatoes, Musa meat pastry (made with candied beef cheek, sweet peppers and pomegranate caviar) and veg wrapped roll as starters -- all a feast to the eyes and a treat for the taste buds. For mains, we ordered the house burger and steak loin. Burger was tastefully cooked, nestled in soft and fluffy buns. The steak were delicious, tender and sumptuously moist, albeit portions were too small compared to its gastronomic taste!All in all, the food we had was delightful, elegant, made with a certain level of sophistication. The ingredients are well matched and perfectly formed. For this kind of food, we thought the prices were above average but justified.

The Massia is quite simply a professionally run venue with great attention to detail, that produces excellent food. It is in the country on the outside of Elche, and has a formal yet friendly feel to it. The food I had was beautifully cooked and served. My arroz was the best I have tasted anywhere. This is a venue for special occasions, and will not disappoint.

Tried this after reading reviews on Trip Advisor.. A really nice restaurant with very attentive staff. We sat outside and were served quickly. The restaurant specialises in fish but had a couple of meat dishes. As I had a steak the previous night I went for the pork. It was served with a mushroom sauce. I asked what else it came with and was told nothing else. As I am not a great lover of mushroom sauce I asked for it to be served to the side of the meat, which it thankfully was. The meat had a strange texture and the mushroom were very soft and had no taste or texture at all. A friend had the turbot which was served with just a mushroom sauce, it looked exactly like the sauce that came with my pork. The turbot had a slime like coating and was overcooked. My friend asked for some rice to accompany the fish which they served. The salad we had for starter was very nice and the red wine was excellent, pity about the overpriced food.

Always book here , if not you will be disappointed. We opted for the a la Carte menus as the tasting menu on the night was different from that on the restaurants webpage. Service was attentive but at time slightly erratic. The night didnât get of well when the cocktail glass from one of our cocktails was marked with lipstick, rather of putting, we accepted the apology and continued with our meal. Food is first class and the flavours are exquisite. We opted to share 4 entrees that are a good size to share, the portions are not big. The highlight if the meal was the soft crab and the tuna tataki. This restaurant is best to get to by taxi if you are having a break here in Elche. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.Thank you so much for your opinion Gareth!We like to offer to all our guests a fine service, so they can go satisfied :)We'd like to see you again!

Beautiful big restaurant. Lovely decor, well laid tables. We had the menu of the day at â¬15. What let it down was poor service. We had to ask waitress what the menu was besides paella was all she offered us verbally. Eventually she told us we could also have chops or fish instead. Also had to ask for bread, aioli, tomato. If no written menu is available ok, but please then give people all the choices available. Starters were small mixed salad not enough for 4, calamares and cheese with white sausage. We had seafood paella which was average. Others had lamb chops which weren't originally offered. Won't rush back.

Wow.....what an amazing experience we had here for our valentines weekend. We opted for the klandestino XL menu and it was just sensational. The service was first class and the waiters really explain to you in detail how to correctly eat each course. The chef Susi DÃaz is one clever lady creating exquisite plates of food. Its a very special place and deserves it Michelin Star. A great place to celebrate a special occasion or if you are a food lover this is a place that you must put on your culinary list. Simply sensational.
