We’re just back from our usual three week “fly and flop” holiday to the island. We ate out every night, together with some lunches and breakfasts. All meals were round the tourist area. Nothing exciting, so I’m not posting reviews here (although if youre really interested, I have posted to Tripadvisor). But here’s a summary of where we ate.
Taurus 2 – former steakhouse. Now gone down market
Meson Las Lanzas – proper Spanish restaurant, with some of the best food of the holiday.
Picasso - touristy Italian on the ocean side paseo.
Comptoir de Damien – good combo of classic and modern French food
Soul Kitchen – breakfasts. Acqi bowls and the like
Bank – Attempt to replicate a New York steakhouse. Decent food. Shit service
Shin Yori - We enjoyed this Korean place. With little knowledge of the cuisine, I don’t know how good it is.
Pasta y Vino – Tutta bene
Meat – touristy reincarnation of the previous “Meat, Flavour, Farmer”. Food is OK – view of the Atlantic is great.
Dedos – part of the Venture Restaurants group. Award winning burgers
Balkonen – long standing favourite Lebanese place
Mrs Myagi’s – Another Venture Restaurants place. Very disappointing East Asian food – dumbed down for the North European masses.
La Marina – Italian. A “find”
Meson Castellano – long standing favourite. Straightforward Spanish take on food
Friends – decent offerings from a standard tourist menu.
Gula – a bit different, a bit up market
Siya – another “find”. Fusiony South Asian food. Chef is East European.
Cafe del Parque – brunch
Rincon del Pescador – Wasnt the seafood restaurant we thought the name implied. Booked well in advance – got the worst table in the place.
Rincon del Arroz – top notch paella and other rice dishes
La Barca – Touristy but a cut above many. We had Xmas Day lunch here a year or so back and it’s become a regular haunt
Tinge of Turmeric – Tenerife take on the British high street curry house. Was OK
Garibaldi – Fine dining restaurant let down by completely shit service.
