It’s always one of our favourite “last night of the holidays” places. Nice room – a bit upmarket with excellent service, generally good food and a guy playing the piano and singing “easy listening” stuff.
Soup of the day was cream of vegetable. Very rich, Very tasty. Simplicity itself on the other plate. Sweet melon and good quality, quite salty jamon. Perfect match.
Slow roast leg of lamb was, almost literally, falling off the bone and was delicious. Lamb doesn’t appear that often on Canarian menus, as it does in some other parts of Spain. I think this may have been the first or second time I’d seen it on this holiday. It comes with some nice vegetables – courgette, peppers and alovely sweet carrot. It was a bit let down by the gravy which was more “works canteen” than “fine dining”. Canarian spuds were a chargeable extra. Fillets of sole were a tad overcooked. But only a tad. They came with the same vegetables as the other dish and a wedge of lemon.
We had space for dessert. An excellent example of the modern classic, tiramisu, with a decent whack from both coffee and booze. Rice pudding (or “arroz con leche” as the menu had it) was served at room temperature. There was a scattering of muscatel raisins and it could have stood to be a little more generous with them. We finished with good coffee.
It had been a nice evening and we went away of happy memories of this first trip to the island since before Covid.
