Title: Castillo at El Rincon
Post by: Lynden on November 16, 2016, 15:25:25 PM
Just spent a pleasurable afternoon at La Castillo enjoying their new Menu del Dia. Fantastic food and service, thanks to Jose, Juan and family. €9.90 for 3 courses including bread, alioli, salad, a drink and coffee. The quality was excellent.
The outside terrace with views over the valley was fabulous today with the warm November sunshine the icing on the cake. Well worth a visit.

We have also spent a couple of afternoons in the Castillo last week and this with friends. The food and service has been fantastic and the setting with November sunshine is indeed the icing on the cake. 🍰🌞

New bar is bar el carillo that used to be on the old road they destroyed to do the motorway.  From Charter proceed to roundabout by new bar go up road past new bar and round the fruit and vege car park to the la cinta area at next roundabout go straight across and then right to la cinta/el prado just past school take next left over new bridge to la cinta go to the left at the junction and follow road until reach bar el castillo.

Yes, it closes on Mondays only. Busy at lunch time and Menu del dia is more expensive at weekends, but very good.

Is this restaurant being boycotted for some reason? A group of us had lunch there yesterday, excellent by the way, and there was no-one else there. We heard about the boulder wall collapse but that did not affect access or the restaurant itself. Such a shame. If you don't use it you lose it springs to mind!

Yes, its my second home. Never had a bad meal or poor service there, and I eat there 3 or 4 times a week.
Stunning views and the outside area has recently had a facelift with imprinted concrete floor and roofed area.
Great value new menu del dia at just 9.90 inc a free drink weekdays (closed mondays)
