“ Delicious creamy cakes, good coffee, friendly service, amazing view over the sea and the city. Cute, huge lizards running around and looking sweet ”
“ Friendly bar atmosphere with great views over the town. Good food and snacks. Recommended. ”
“ We really enjoyed the food, the dishes were delicious and the view of the sunset is stunning from here. The prices are ok, like every other restaurant in Tenerife. I really liked the salad with goat cheese and the fruit cake. The only minus of the location would be the staff, which came to us late , we had to ask them a couple of times for an ashtray and didn’t get it at all. ”
“ My favourite place in town to have the breakfast. Lovely town view from the top of the park. I love their Barraquito/Zaperoco flavour and their bocadillios, Taoro one especially and the americano sandwich.. the service was excellent every time I went there and I have been 3 times already in one week. The only disadvantage is that you have to climb few stairs to reach this place as it is on the top of the park, but the view from there worth it for sure.. prices very good as well. Quality of food and service both excellent. 5* +++ ”
“ We ate here 4 times for lunch in our 1 week trip; staff are lovely, food was much better than we expected. We especially loved the super generous Padron Pepper portions, the Garlic Prawns were great with a portion of their bread, loved the Fried Cheese too. The steak starter wasn’t our favourite. They have a whole dessert cabinet, I had some lemon meringue and it was gorgeous. Pizza was also decent. Stunning views, casual vibe, lovely staff, great value for money and huge portions. My only suggestions to the owners would be to give it an update visually, it just needs some paint and a little makeover, otherwise we loved it all - also I think the menu should describe the starters in more detail, they were all much better than they were described so I think it does it a disservice. ”
