It is located in the Novo Sancti Petri Shopping Centre. It is one of the veteran restaurants on the Barrosa beach. Its opening dates back to 1994, when Francisco Vela “Cachito” decided to open one of the first restaurants in Novo, at the same time as he closed the “Cachito” bar, located in the Alameda del Río in Chiclana. Its opening coincided with the construction of the first hotels in the area.
In 2016 the restaurant underwent extensive remodelling, which completely transformed the premises. Its large terrace and large capacity stand out.
For a few years it has been one of the most appreciated restaurants in Chiclana. Especially by Chiclaneros, and regular visitors to the area, lovers of quality and good gastronomy. In addition, it stands out for the attention of its staff, charming and very attentive to what we may need.
Its quality/price ratio is more than acceptable. In the last year, its chef has experimented with new dishes, without forgetting the most traditional ones.
Their menu is short, not very extensive, but everything they offer is very good, although the quantity is just right, especially for those who eat well.
You can nibble, without having to order individual dishes. We recommend some of their specialties such as shrimp omelettes with lime mayonnaise, red shrimp tartar, red tuna tataki and eggplant regañá with anchovies and tomatoes in oil. Not to forget the clams in cachito and the Sancti Petri clams.
For the main course, we recommend the rice, especially the black rice and the arroz del señorito, although as we said their menu is not very extensive, everything is quality and very good. Also, it is worth trying the squid meatballs with shrimp sauce and the confit cod with asparagus cream and sautéed artichokes.
On my visit we were unable to appreciate the variety of the dessert menu, but it has two classics of the place, fried milk with cookie dust and caramelized French toast with chocolate.
They have local wines, some of which are available in Manuela’s wine cellar, such as Barbazul and Entrechuelos.
It is open all year round and next to the restaurant there is a large garden where the little ones can play and have fun.
In summer, it is always advisable to book.
