Visited Friends 4 times while we were away, two breakfasts and two evening meals. Every visit was first class. Service is great waiters and lovely waitress are very amiable, attentive and add greatly to the experience. Breakfasts were the best we had in our 10 day visit. you need to book to ensure you get a table in the evening it is very busy. Food is wonderful. Friends is very reasonably priced. We had tapas one visit 6 dishes between two with salad and bread for under 40 euros . Food is very good. Visit Friends if you want to have a nice dining experience.

We had a large family meal here while on holidays, the service was exceptional with friendly staff catering to everyone’s needs, especially a toddler who they were especially able to cater for. Food was delicious and service was in a timely manner. There is also a kiddies corner which is very helpful and the restaurant itself is in a great location of playa de las americas

Loved this place! The waiters were fun and friendly, the food was estupendo and the views from our table were muy bien!! We didn’t have a reservation but the friendly waiters got us seated on a table with a lovely view of the sea and beach. We decided to get tapas, everything we picked tasted so good! We thought this was a great option as we could try bits rather than stick to one main and it was very reasonably priced. I was so full after too, with tapas you never realise how much food you actually have! The view was lovely, we could watch it get darker as we ate and see the sun set. Waiters were all very nice and fun, I even asked one of them where the bathroom was in Spanish and he loved it! If/when I come back to Tenerife I’ll definitely be back to Friends and would recommend it to anyone coming ☺️

There’s much to like about Friends. It’s got a great beachside location, a good menu which goes beyond the usual tourist staples and staff who are on the ball. We used to go on most trips but just got a bit bored with it. After a few years gap, we decided it was time to give it another go. We went for lunch. There are 15 or so tapas dishes on the lunch menu and the deal is that you pick four for a fized price of €19.95. They come with chunks of baguette and alioli. My companion in life picked Padron peppers, fish croquettes (a bit gloopy in texture), patatas bravas (nice) and cubes of lightly spiced grilled beef (very nice). It makes for quite a balanced , yet substantial, meal. I picked a dish I remembered from previous visits – a pork fillet skewer. Large chunks of meat, perfectly grilled so there was a bit of char on the outside but the inside was still juicy and succulent. There’s a delish peanut satay suace – earthy from the peanuts, a bit of sweetness and a nice background hit of chilli. Perfect for dunking the meat. Or, indeed, the fries that accompanied it. There’s also a handful of mixed salad to lighten things up Good coffee to finish.

It’s with a heavy heart that I write this review because I was always their biggest cheerleader. We went as a family of 4, and we had this booked months before we arrived on the island, because it has always been our favorite restaurant in Las Americas. The staff as always were so friendly, but the food this time was so disappointing. We asked for two sirloin steaks, but we were presented with two pink pork chops! On complaining, we got our steaks 10 mins later ( as our children were nearly finished their dishes). The steaks were beef this time, but they were obviously cooked on the same pan as the pork because we could get the aftertaste of pork. The waiter was laughing at me when I tried to relay my dis-satisfaction and he wasn’t really listening to me when I complained about the quality of the meal overall, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt and say maybe he didn’t understand that I was seriously complaining, because he was a nice polite man.. They did reduce the bill by 20% but our family night was ruined because my typical teenagers were so embarrassed that I complained that they ended up rowing with us. Thanks a lot ‘Friends’! I can guarantee we will never be back nor recommend!.

We have been visiting Friends for the last 10 years and always loved the food and service. However, on this particular visit we've noticed a massive difference in both. I had booked a table a few days prior. On arrival at the restaurant, the manager was at first adamant I didn't have a table booked until I pointed my name out on his sheet. We were booked at 6pm so the restaurant was fairly quiet. We were sat at our table and offered drinks, after 20 minutes we still had not ordered food so I had to ask a member of staff to take our order. A few in our party ordered a dish with fries, they were clearly overcooked, almost crisp like texture. We asked if they could be replaced. A waitress overheard our complaint and started shouting over at our table 'this is how they are made here!' We disagreed and asked them to be replaced. Another waiter approached the table, I complained about the way we had been spoken to and 'shouted at' was unacceptable. We were just told to ignore her! The food was average at best. Very overpriced for what it is and coupled with rude staff makes me wonder what has happened to what was once a lovely restaurant. I'm struggling to understand why people enjoy this so much. We won't be returning.

We booked this restaurant based on recommendations online for tapas. Maybe we were unlucky on the night we visited but service was extremely slow and wasnt really authentic tapas . Sangria also tasted like water wasn’t enough wine. Kids meals were nice and other meals looked nice coming out. Some tapas items were nice but cold by the time they got to us.

My mate came here last year, and recommended us to go, saying the food was good, was relatively cheap, and was a nice atmosphere. Me and three of my mates arrived just after 8, were seated, asked for drinks, which came quickly, and shortly after ordered 4 pizzas. The food again arrived fast, but this is where the positives end. The pizzas had a soggy base, and were very thick. One of the lads I was with works in a similar environment, and reckons the pizza dough is frozen, and then reheated when they require. We each paid €12.95 for them, which is cheap, but still disappointing. After we had finished, we placed our napkins over the plates, waiting for a waiter/waitress to come and collect, but this never happened. I asked 3 different members of staff if we could have the bill, and were waiting over 30 minutes for it to arrive, still with our plates on our table. When the bill finally arrived, our plates were taken, and again, we were left to wait. I asked twice if we could pay, waiting another 15-20 mins for a card reader. The time was around 9:30, and was not overly busy. Whilst we were paying, a man and a woman, who we assume were both managers, began an argument at our table, with us 4 sitting awkwardly, and very annoyed, as the man took our payment. Overall a very unprofessional environment, with very disappointing service, and underwhelming food. As we ordered four pizzas, I can only speak for them, and I can highly recommend Aberdeen Steak House for pizza. They are massive, properly cooked, and have loads of toppings for just over €15.

What a great restaurant and a great find on our recent trip to las americas. The location is great right on the front by the sea getting a cool breeze as u sit eating is great. I must say the menu was great and we ordered a chateaubriand for two which was brought out to the table and presented in flaming salt. This came with roasted veg and chips for 2 and 2 sauces for around 50 euros which was great value for money. The meat was cooked perfectly and a great meal as a whole. This is a must try for anyone in the area you certainly won’t regret it

When entering the restaurant we checked if children were alllowed in as it was quiet, we were told yes and was impressed to see a kids corner believing we would be welcome. However we were wrong, my one year old baby cried for a short while after trying a potato which was to spicy for him. Even though I soon quietened him down and apologised an elderly member of staff made us feel so unwelcome we didn’t finish our mediocre food, tidied up, paid and left. Even on leaving the staff member was not satisfied making rude remarks and giving dirty looks. My 2 year old was as good as gold as was my baby for most of the time. I wouldn’t want any other parents evening to be ruined like this so that’s why placed this review as we were made to feel like the worst people in the world for our baby briefly crying and made to feel very unwelcome. Another customer picked up on how we were treated and heard the comments agreeing that it wasn’t right and that they’re well behaved babies.

We have been to friends in the past and loved our dinner however we were extremely disappointed after our visit last night. We waited 20 minutes without a waiter coming to take drinks so we had to ask to order drinks. After 30 minutes no one had taken our food order so again we had to ask to order food. We then waited another 45 minutes for our food before we had to ask where our food was as we had now been in the restaurant for 1 hour and 15 minutes and had not eaten. Our steak arrived which we had asked to be medium rare, but we had to send this back as it was extremely rare, verging on raw. We were shocked to not have been offered any discount/food taken off the bill. The only time a waiter approached our table was when they came to collect the money. After our visit last night we would not come back.

My son and his girlfriend went to this restaurant 21st December , waiting 30 then asked if they could order drinks & food ! The waiter maybe Russian or Polish Pointed in my son’s face and told him to wait . My son & girlfriend were horrified & upset They got up and walked out ! Is there any need for that just disgraceful! As a business owner myself staff like this guy give your business a bad name . Appalling behaviour to a young couple !

We went to Friends restaurant while over in Tenerife a couple of weeks ago. The reviews were very good and we had also seen it mentioned on Tiktok as a great restaurant to try while in Tenerife. We didn't have a booking but chanced our arm one evening and managed to get a table outside. First off I felt we got a very frosty greeting by one of the waiters, I see a lot of reviews mentioning an older man who is quite unpleasant and I imagine this was the same guy. We ordered a cocktail and a beer and the ham & cheese croquettes and garlic bread as a starter and pasta with 4 cheeses and a carbonara as mains. The croquettes were not as advertised, they were a mixture and some of them definitely had fish in them, we don't mind fish but a bit annoying when it's not what you've ordered. Both pasta dishes came with penne pasta, I have never seen carbonara served that way before, both were edible but just a bit "meh". It's a bit annoying to go out to dinner and know you could have created something nicer at home and you're not a trained chef. A few nights later we went to First Love up the way from Friends and it was a much nicer experience. When leaving the restaurant some of the tables we passed seemed to have a lot nicer looking dishes so maybe it was just a bad choice but overall we didn't think Friends had a nice atmosphere.

Always raved about this place, but today was extremely disappointed. Had to ask for a menu and it took several minutes to arrive, in fact people who arrived after us were given menus straight away and were served promptly. When we eventually ordered the food received was not the usual high standard and nobody asked how the meal was. Unfortunately we will not be going again.

A must visit if you’re staying south of Tenerife. Myself, my husband and our three children decided to have dinner here on our last night on holiday and we wasn’t disappointed. Staff were all very friendly, we was seated quickly and ordered drinks. Was giving more time to decide what to eat. The food was amazing, portions are very good and very well priced. Considering eating elsewhere in Tenerife has cost us a fair amount more for food not even close to this standard. My kids all had a desert and they all said how delicious they was and again very well priced. They loved the robot who delivers the food, they now want one for home 😂 Defiantly recommend the Tandoori tikka chicken. We will 100% be back on our next holiday. 👍🏻
