La Suculenta — Restaurant in Benicàssim / Benicasim

An unexpected surprise! We arrived without reservation on the new year's eve, hoping to find something to drink and eat. When we arrived the special dinner was almost over and the kitchen was about to close, but they were kind enough to let us sit and have a drink. We asked if there is anything we can eat and the waiter went to check with the kitchen and soon enough the chef himself came over to our table and asked if we like Russian salad. I don't like it too much but we were willing to give it a try, and I'm glad we did! It was really good and not a "just traditional" russian salad. We ate it all along with the wonderful bread they served! The kind chef saw our poor faces and offered us a few things to eat and finally suggested a steak, which was so good! very flavored and tasty. So we didn't eat a lot but from starting with only drinks we had a wonderful surprise to be able to taste a couple of dishes. The chef and the staff were really nice and at the end of the evening gave us the traditional grapes you eat to celebrate the new year and also a bag of goodies to celebrate the new year. We wished we could come again but unfortunately we didn't have time. I'm sure next time we are in town we will go again! Thank you for allowing us in and for taking such a good care of us!...

We went to La Suculenta for my wife's birthday with my aunt and uncle who were visiting from out of town. I was amazed at how good the food was. We had Iberian Ham Croquettes and the Semi-Cured Sea Bass Sashima starters along with fresh bread, all were amazing. My wife, who is celiac, had the Matured Galician Pork Chop with Potatoes as did my aunt and uncle and I had the Roe Deer and it was incredibly delicious, I could not believe how good the Roe Deer was as I have never tasted a venison dish crafted as good as this one was. For dessert I had Creamy Egg Yolk Flan, the best flan I've ever had. Chef Lengua has a fantastic menu of incredible dishes that taste so good. We also had two bottles of wine to compliment the food. The dining room is quite elegant. Absolutely the best restaurant I've eaten at in Benicassim and surrounding areas. This is a Michelin Guide restaurant but it deserves a...

Para empezar, nos recibe una señorita con la mascarilla mal colocada y después de esperar 45 minutos vienen a tomarnos nota sin ni siquiera darnos la carta. La ya escasa variedad se ve mermada a la mitad con solo algunos platos marcados entre los que elegir; pero en el momento de ordenar, nos dicen que algunos tampoco están disponibles. Después de re-elegir optamos por tartar de vaca vieja, brandada de bacalao (se debería advertir que nada tiene que ver con la receta original), bikini balear, gallo san pedro (escrito a mano en el menú sin más información), una botella de agua y una botella de vino rosado - todo para compartir entre dos. Con el segundo plato ya en la mesa, volvemos a reclamar el agua y el vino y la camarera se molesta, parece ser que no era ella la ‘encargada’ de traernos la bebida. Después de unos minutos, aparece un camarero para informarnos que el vino tampoco está disponible, así que volvemos a empezar. Vemos que el tartar (que en la carta se indicaba que venía con trufa) se les está sirviendo a otra mesa como debía y pedimos explicaciones a otra camarera ya que nuestra ración no la incluía; está nos indica que puede venir o no con trufa (parece ser que nosotros no hemos tenido suerte). Estamos esperando el gallo san pedro e intentan retirarnos los platos, ante lo que le recordamos que queda pendiente uno - que hasta entonces no habían marchado por lo que nos toca volver a esperar. La comida es correcta, sin ser nada especial, y el local tiene una mezcla extraña y poco acertada de decoración que no tiene ninguna coherencia; además fatal aislado por lo que el ruido es insoportable. Un mal día lo puede tener cualquiera, pero sus precios no son para permitirse tantísimos errores, tal descoordinación y (admitámoslo) semejante mal...
