We booked a New Year's package which consisted of an 8-course tasting menu. The dishes were well composed and presented in a very tasteful way. For this, we chose a good wine package where the flavors were well combined with the dishes that were served. The service was very good. The waiter Martin from Scotland was knowledgeable and funny and very responsive to our needs! An extra plus was when the owner Anders handed out "New Year's kits" with hats and trumpets as a mood booster before the stroke of twelve in the already decorated restaurant. We can definitely recommend this restaurant👍

We decided to try the chef tasting menu which did not disappoint. Though priced at €55 each it was a great way to try 4 different main course tasting dishes & a dessert. We also opted for the middle priced wine pairing flight for each course also at €55 each which was well balanced & matched to each course. With our daughter choosing a main course & dessert from the main menu our bill came to €270, which was not a cheap meal but worth it for the experience & quality. Would recommend to try it for the experience & attentive staff especially Martin from Ireland.

Excellent food - good quality and with passion for high level food. Service is good and attentive staff, maybe we were there at a day with fewer guests but nice ambience. Wine card is good and you can find some good gems. Went for the chef’s 5-course menu, but in hindsight you can choose your own menu, even at a better price. We were first timers, so now you get the insight! It can be highly recommended, with a good value for money

I have walked past the place many times and thought it was time to try it out. It is great located, right on the beach of Arguineguin. Since the menu is stocked with quite sophisticated food, I also wanted to try it. 2 starters: Steak tartare and the fried foie gras. The tartare already came prepared and prepared - not a good sign. Visually very nice, taste just too salty and without bread side dish. The extra charged focacia was actually just a fried slice of bread. The foie gras was then a real disappointment. Lightly seared, it was completely cold and unlovingly placed on a dry brioche. I could have served myself a slice of toast. Anything can happen, no thing until then - really disappointing was that after consultation everything was really calculated, no accommodation, no compensation - a tourist booth just where the bill is more important than the satisfaction of the customer. From me, for the food eaten by me and the experience made - not recommended.

First visit to this restaurant. Selected chef's recommendation with 4 tasting sets, 4 glasses of accompanying wines and a chocolate mousse dessert. Good flavors and suitable wines, but had expected more at a price over 100 euros per person. We started with a glass of cava at 12 euros each and the white wine for the first course arrived only seconds after the cava glass was placed on the table. After having another cava, the wine started to warm, so we asked for the dish that would go with the wine. After a little more waiting it arrived and it was good. The next dish was 5 slices of beetroot with good spices on it. fair enough. The wines were only presented by showing the bottle and saying which grape the wine was made from. Had expected more presentation of the wines' qualities and why they were chosen for the dishes that were served. Seemed like the knowledge of the wines was absent. The presentation of the food dishes was very fast, in poor English, and one dish was not presented in drt at all. Also saw that the neighboring table had to request a presentation of one of their dishes. All in all, OK food taste, but too poorly presented and too bad timing between the wine service and the food service. Was expecting more.

We were a family of 6 between 14 - 66 years. We wanted to eat a good meal on New Year's Eve and we have eaten at a restaurant before, with good experiences. A menu on New Year's Eve cost 125 Euro per person and the fantastic wine package cost 99 Euro per person. We were 4 people who took the best wine package and we started with a glass of bubbles to get ready for a lovely tasting experience. The first course was a Cevivhe and was one of the favorites during the dinner. This one was fresh and just the right size. The wine was very good. The next dish was a Lobster tower, a dish that was also very good. Next came a Lobster Cappuccino. One of us liked it very much, some of us thought it tasted burnt. After this dish it was a stop. No food came, only wine. We tried to tell the waiter that we had finished the wine and then got another glass of wine. After 1 hour and 15 minutes, dish 4 arrived. This was a Butter poached fish and was very good. Champagne sorbet cleansed the palate and prepared us for meat. Then came the evening's least delicious and tasty dish. A pork rib croquet. This was cold inside and grew in the mouth when you ate it. Next course a Beef Tenderloin was very good and the writer's favourite, apart from the dessert, a chocolate mousse. Conclusion: Mediocre food, not a wine package worth 99 Euro, the waiters prioritized smoking and therefore lost control of the tables, but nice owners who apologized for the long wait. We haven't lost faith and will be coming again :-)

We had dinner there yesterday, and after waiting quite a while, we were served. The waiter asked if I wanted salad or fries with my meal, and I answered salad. When the salad came, it consisted of a lot of onions, and three blades of salad. See the picture. When I reacted to this and asked for the salad as I ordered, pointing out that what I had received was not a salad but mostly onions, they responded that I would get more salad. Then, they brought two to three small salad leaves and two large tomato slices. Furthermore, we were sitting next to the kitchen and could hear them shouting and arguing with each other. It felt so uncomfortable. I was really stressed. It also seemed like the place was understaffed and the waiters appeared very stressed throughout the evening. We skipped dessert simply because we felt like we were bothering the waiters.

We were there to eat last year, when it was amazing good. So we went with us a group of friends of 12 pieces for a week ago and ordered 5 dishes menu, it was tasteless and extremely little food. Scandal and take friends there.

We booked the restaurant to celebrate my partner’s birthday and had made our choice based on previous reviews. We wanted to experience the taster menu but wanted ensure we got dishes we know we would like so decided to make our choices based on our waitress’s recommendations. Alice could not have been more attentive and patient with us as we discussed the options and chose our four plates. We both chose the Signature Mexican Fish Taco, Chévre Chaud and the Wine Braised Ok Cheeks. I also had the Fried Lubina and Julie chose the Butter Poached Cod. We let Alice choose our wines too, that would best accompany our plates as we had decided not to take the full wine pairing and only wanted a couple of glasses each. Alice’s choices for the wines was perfect and we enjoyed her description of the wines as she brought them out in true sommelier fashion. For dessert I chose the White Chocolate & Raspberry Truffle and Julie had the Chocolate Mousse, which were both delicious. The prices were reasonable considering the quality of the food and service provided. The other waitresses and staff were also attentive and helpful throughout the evening whenever Alice was serving other customers. Nothing seemed too much for them and they also brought out a candle and sang happy birthday to Julie towards the end of the evening which was a delightful surprise. We both enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend a visit to anyone.

Thank you Anders with staff for a fantastic evening. We felt luxuriously served by your knowledgeable staff and your knowledge of which champagne went with selected small dishes. We can only recommend this Restaurant with everything that gives life the silver lining of the trip. Take the opportunity to visit this tavern that beats most of what we have experienced around the world. Tip: Lalliere GC and Chevré cheese were the evening's top brass! Book well in advance! We will book for November 2025! :-) Greetings Christel and Björn

We came twice during my stay. Lunch and one dinner The value for money is fantastic. The service and setting are perfect. The burgers are delicious, and the meat is cooked just as I asked. The volcano potatoes are delicious and match perfectly with the guacamole and hummus. Everything is homemade and the fish is fresh. I recommend 100% Thank you

At the end of July we reserved a table for 2 people at 7pm in the Taste Restaurant (not Taste Bistro, which is next door). We had to take a taxi (22 euros one way... so 44 euros in total) from Maspalomas to the restaurant. So far so good. When we arrived at the restaurant we checked in and were assigned a table in the blazing sun. At that time one table was occupied in the shade and the last table, which was still in the shade, was not very kindly described by the "boss's representative" as being specially reserved. This table was so special that it was still available when we left the restaurant at 8.30pm. For this reason we preferred to go to the Taste Bistro, as it was not possible to get another table with an umbrella. Then it wasn't even possible to order anything from the restaurant's upscale menu. If we hadn't spent so much money on the taxi, we wouldn't have stayed. This also happened to other guests (2 Swedish women with a stroller) who preferred to go to the bistro. But at least the representative told us that we would receive a cancellation by e-mail, that was obviously very important to her! It would be better to put up a few more parasols. It's a shame that guests are treated like this. Nevertheless, it must be said that at least the service in the bistro was very friendly. Kind regards, Bernd Bartusch

A restaurant visited by too many tourists, which has caused it to drop from a high-quality restaurant (2 years ago) to a restaurant with small snacks for far too much money, where you can order bitterballen instead. For 200,- you can eat 5 small dishes including dessert. But beware: - and they are the cheapest and easiest dishes in the chef menu (the k of boiled beetroot heated in the microwave) up to deep fryers with a nice chat. -and the receipt was incorrect: drinks were not received, but they were on the receipt, ordered cava from the menu/€4 per glass more expensive on the receipt, a drink was not ordered but was on the receipt. For 227 euros you would be better off eating somewhere else. One of the waitresses was super good!! The owner (or was it the manager) is incredibly arrogant and needs to quickly find a job outside the catering industry.

I am sorry if you was not happy with your visit but I am not sure if you mix the restaurants up. We have always since 9 years served small tasting dishes and are a tasting restaurant and the biggest wine and Champagne bar inte world by the glass. Maybe you been to Julias before that is now our Bistro and that was closed this day so we used that space for our Tasting restaurant. I can understand if you are confused in that case all though we have to stick to facts! Yes we serve a 5 cource dinner BUT THE PRICE IS 45€ per person so I don’t understand why you say it is 200€!! If you the CHOOSED to have any of our paired wine pack to that, of course the wine will be extra and are from 39€-79€ for a paired wine package depending of quality of the wine. You choose your self. For your information we cook everything from scratch here, we bake our own bread etc. We don’t even have a microwave so please stick to facts! This night you was here, me (the owner) was not even there so who you call the owner, I don’t know! We don’t have any Cava for 4€ but we have a Cremant from france for that but if you order Cava, how should we know that you wanted the cheap cremant??! It is a difference between cava, champage, cremant and sparkling wine! It is of course sad that you didn’t like what we do but please be honest in your review!

Wow wow wow. An incredible venue with amazing food and wonderful wine. We ate here for my birthday as a treat and went for the chefs choice tasting menu. 5 courses of ‘mini’ plates, each accompanied by a wine that has been selected to enhance the dish. The food was amazing. Beautifully presented, elaborate and delicious. We especially enjoyed the steak tartare and the beetroot and goats cheese salad but every dish was stunning. The wine package was equally impressive and you can tell a lot of thought and expertise had been put into the selections. It may seem pricey at 1st but when you consider the quality of the food and the excellent wine choices, the friendly and efficient service and the whole ambiance, it’s actually really good value for money. Would definitely return and enjoy the whole thing all over again. We left properly satisfied and completely full! An excellent experience all round.
