Our party of ten experiences in the local Arinsal restaurants was very mixed.While one of the busines week's of the year, it semms that the restaurants were just not able to cope with the demand, plus most of the waiters/waitresses seems to be half-zonked!!

Especially;

Surf Bar; Most hyped up & most disappointed. So called premium Argentian beef was as tough as leather. Service deplorably bad, mistakes with bill etc..would not recommend.

Ciscos; Best of the lot, if a little more expensive

Refugi a la Fondue; At top of village, worth the climb for a 'special night' out. Try the Chilean Santa Digna red wine.

Casa Moli; Good on our first visit, disastrous on our 2nd visit, which was NewYears Eve-just couldn't cope!!

After just coming back from Arinsal and trying most restaurants in the village there were only three restaurants that I would recommend for dinner that were a cut above the pizza/pasta stakes:

1) Refugi a la Fondue - Brilliant Fondue and the starter of the week was the mixed Andorran starters to share. I recommend the Torres Vino Esmerelda. Located towards the top end of town past the Princessa Parc. Highly rated. http://www.refugi.net.tf/

2) The Tapas bar, La Tasca 5 mins uphill out of Arinsal. Authentic proper tapas and fabulous meat and cheese. Experiment with items on the menu or ask the waitress for advice. Again, we loved it here but didn't discover it until the end of the week. www.arinsal.com/restaurants/…

3) Cisco's. In the centre of Arinsal serves Tex Mex type food. I recommend the chilli but you'll probably have to ask them to make it extra hot as the normal versions not spicy enough for us Brits. Same goes for the Fajitas. Good for kids.

The Surf Bar was far too chaotic and smoky for us to eat there although the big steaks looked good.

El Moli opposite the Gondola was good for lunch and as a late night bar.
