"Lugar muy tranquilo y agradable. Es un restaurante a la entrada del pueblo y se aparca fácilmente al lado. El personal es muy atento y muy amable. La comida era muy rica, llegó bastante rápido y nos trataron muy bien. Hemos probado algunas verduras en tempura y segundo vacío y bacalao. Todo estaba delicioso, bien cocinado y presentado. Amamos el lugar, él pero la comida. Se queda entre nuestros sitios favoritos para tener una comida romántica y también para ir con familia o amigos."

"We have lived a year in argens and always used to visit it. small but undeniable place. a perfect place to eat a menu of the day in conditions: at good price, of quality and good quantity. At night, abundant rations. attentive and very friendly staff, you notice that they have been with the business for years, that they take care of him and that he drops his job. If we come back, we'll keep going."

"Estábamos solos en el restaurante, algo que ya nos pareció raro al entrar. Como eran fiestas en el pueblo, lo achacamos a eso. El camarero fue amable. La comida muy mejorable: el pan era la típica barra fina blanca recién descongelada, el costillar dejaba mucho que desear ya que la mayoría era grasa y hueso, apenas tenía carne; no volvería a pedirlo. De hecho se lo comentamos al camarero, pero no nos dio ninguna explicación; la entraña estaba buena; la tempura de verduras no estaba mal, había mucha cantidad, pero la verdura poco variada, la mayoría eran pimientos. Tenía tb cuatro gambones; los postres nos dijeron que eran caseros, pero el coulant desde luego no lo parecía"

"Hoy Tripeamos nuestro almuerzo en @restaurantecasabenito de Layos. Llegamos hasta aquí por las recomendaciones de algunos seguidores y por fin conseguimos reserva, que esta casa siempre está completa. Entramos a un local limpio, bien colocado, diferentes ambientes separados con un biombo a media altura que deja libre el posible jaleo en barra. Nos recibe Oscar que nos acompaña hasta nuestra mesa bien situada. Encontramos mesas de a 4 con faldillas de tela y sobre mantel de celulosa bien parecido a tela con servilleta de tela como es de agradecer. Aparece en escena Rafa, viejo amigo de nuestra época pipiola conocido como “primo” de nuestro querido Román Corroto. Venimos más secos que el tobillo de un indio y pedimos tercios 0,0 de @mahou . Queremos comer y de eso se encargan. Llegan los platos y comenzamos el jolgorio culinario. Croquetas de Jamón ibérico. Muy cremosas con buena costra bien sujeta. 6,50€ ‍Croquetas de Boletus. Bien trabajadas y muy cremosas. 6,50€ Hamburguesa de 150 grs de ternera de Angus con queso y bacon. 14€ Chuletitas de Lechal con patatas asadas caseras. 20€ Sopa de cocido con su fideo fino y sus encurtidos muy frescos. Cocido. Dos últimos vuelcos del cocido juntos. Buen garbanzo, verdura en su punto y buena calidad en la carne, chorizo, morcilla, pollo, jamón, hueso, morcillo., 17€ Llega el momento y nos echamos al monte, aquí no se puede dejar libre la parte golosa y vamos e ello. Flan casero o como lo conocen aquí., Tembladero de huevo con espejo de caramelo. 4€ Tarta de queso muy cremosa. Buen trabajo de horno para conseguir un relleno perfecto. 5,50€ Tomamos cafés solo y con leche. Nos agasajan gentileza de la casa con unas catas de digestivos con y sin. Si algo nos ha impactado han sido las croquetas. Cremosidad hasta decir basta. Paloma siente amor por la cocina y se nota en lo que hace. Las cantidades en el cocido son exageradas si no vienes con hambre. Sopa MUY RICA. El garbanzo se ha despellejado y eso hace que no alegre nuestra vista. Bien cocido y carne de mucha calidad. En los postres nos quedamos con la tarta. Cremosisisisma!!!!. Terminamos haciendo efectiva la cuenta electrónicamente. 32,20€/pax. RECOMENDAMOS Y VOLVEREMOS A PROBAR MÁS CUCHARA."

"We were staying in the Parador Toledo and were not inspired by the menu that they had on offer. We were also fed up with the unhospitable nature of the proprietors of tourist trap Toledo. We decided to take a drive into the outer towns/villages to try and find a local restaurant. Not being successful on our drive, we entrusted the satnav to find us a restaurant nearby. Both times it sent us into a residential areas with no sign of a restaurant. We were beginning to loose hope and were trying to negotiate our way out of what we later discovered to be Arges, when we saw Restaurante Cercado Largo. A quick sharp turn and we made it into the smallish parking area. From the outside this place wasn't particularly inspiring, however we have travelled enough to know that some of the tastiest food can be found in the most unlikely places and you can get a pretty horrific meal in a place that is all pomp and ceremony. We approached the main restaurant over the outdoor seating area and kids play area. All was very quiet. The waiter came out and my husband asked if they were open (my husband speaks Spanish). We were shown into the restaurant, all wooden tables and chairs, very clean. There was a group of little girls with their parents in the throws of a birthday party having lots of fun. This is a typical Spanish restaurant nice and laid back. We had a lovely gin and tonic and were given the menu. There is no English menu but we understood enough. I ordered the Perdiz a la Toledana (Toledo style Partridge) and my husband ordered Chuleton (T bone steak). So we were going to find out soon enough what our food fate was. The food arrived and it looked great. A whole partridge in a bowl with a lovely broth and potato. Steak cooked as my husband ordered it with potato's (they cut the bone out of my husbands steak, which was fine by him). OH WOW!. The partridge was AMAZING, lovely and moist cooked in the most fantastic homemade broth (onion, bay leaves, peppercorns) I can honestly say that it was truly sublime. Well seasoned, good honest home cooked food. Delicious. My husband loved his steak and he sampled the partridge and broth too.....in fact he wanted mine!. We were given lovely fresh bread to mop up the delicious broth. We were both so pleased we had come across such a find!. The olive oil is local too from Arges it's called Marin, it was gorgeous. It tasted so mellow and fruity like strawberries!. I wanted to take some home but you must only be able to get it in that town as we couldn't find it in Valdepenas the next day. We had coffee and were given the offer of a drink on the house, which we had hierbas. Not expensive. We were chatting to the man that was serving us and it transpired that he was Alberto. It is a family business Alberto and his parents own the place. Both of h is parents are the chefs. So there we have it. Don't judge the book by looking at the cover, it may not have curb appeal but food appeal it has by the bucket load. This place is amazing and deserving of your business. Best meal I had in Spain. To help, this will give you an idea of the menu choice. Screen shot it and you will have it on your phone.
