Having covered my immediate area, I will now have to backtrack to all the restaurants I have visited so far - as it is a restaurant review blog the specific dates don't matter hugely - although places can change - but as I wasn't planning a blog at the time there won't be much detail!
However, this week I visited Els Senyorets in Gandia for a menu del dia. Els Senyorets is on the main Paseo in Gandia at the end furthest from the market. It has a few tables outside but inside is a nice bar and restaurant area. We ate in the restaurant which had a few people in it but was not busy. The welcome was friendly and the service good.
The menu del dia is €8.50 and consists of 3 courses, coffee, bread and a drink. I had a sauteed spinach dish for starters which was very good - loads of flavour and very tasty, and my lunch buddy had ensalada del dia, which was a light chicken salad with a sauce and which went down very well. We both had arroz del negro - rice blackened with squid ink and containing baby squid. It was served with a dollop of ali-oli and frankly it was delicious. I had a decent glass of house white wine and my buddy had a beer.
For dessert there were at least 5 choices and we both plumped for calatrava, a spanish bread pudding with a 'flan' type topping - I had never had it before and it was lovely and moist and had a rich caramel flavour offset by the base. Clearly home made and delicious.
Coffee to round off the meal and we were out of the restaurant a couple of hours after we went in, feeling we had just enjoyed an extremely good lunch at a bargain of €17.50 between us.
Interestingly, and a first as far as I have seen so far, Els Senyorets has a lighter, lower calorie lunch, which on Monday was one of the starters and one of the mains from the main menu - espinanca - spinach and pechuga a la plancha - chicken breast. This means that once my diet starts again (ugh!) I can eat there and feel positively virtuous about it!!!
I would definitely return for lunch or try it for dinner and even better on a Friday night they are currently doing everything for a euro - got to be one of the best value nights out in town!!
