Restaurante Cachito

Restaurante Cachito is presented as a standout for Elche gastronomy, pairing family tradition and locally sourced ingredients with a more up-to-date style of cooking. The menu covers produce from the huerta (market gardens), salted specialities, rice dishes and grilled meats, with options such as tomato from the huerta with capellán, aubergine with ilicitano-style pesto, arroz con costra, rabbit rice or chicken rice with serranas, cod in pil-pil sauce, Iberian pork cheek with Mollar pomegranate sauce, and tarta de Elche. It is set in the rural Camp d’Elx area and is also geared towards bookings and celebrations. For UK, US and Australian travellers, it’s worth planning ahead if you want a table, especially at weekends; meal times in Spain often run later than in English-speaking countries, and tipping is appreciated but not generally expected at the levels common in the US.
