The Olive Garden, Los Cristianos

As a certain chef said, it was like as if they gave up half way through. I'm not saying that it was bad, just that it is no better or worse than the plethora of restaurants available in southern Tenerife.

Agree. Everyone raves about the size of the portions but in many cases it is something like a bloody big breadroll or a load of rice.  OK but depends what you want and unfortunately the majority of holidaymakers want CHEAP and QUANTITY, and sod quality.

Chillies as well ,yet some folks love them 

Not keen on olives but HATE chillies 

I love Chillies and Olives........now Olive Garden is similar to many they just pay loads of rates etc so have to grab what is available. Shame because if someone went the whole hog and just did the best they would soon get a name, Tipsy Terrace another one, best products on the Island but no best for for the price they can charge to get bums on seats, that is not a dig but an oberservation and an understanding. The best products are not cheap. Wish people that have bars and restaurants would think when they went on holiday, how many places offering cheap meals that walked past, how many far too pricey they walked past, keep it good, keep it fair and get some happy faces on seats and others will turn up.

Well said TD. Never liked Tipsy Terrace either though the food was nice. The staff there could take a course in how to welcome/attend to customers.

Not the bestproducts around I thoughtthefood quitepoor when I ate there

Same here I much preferred a couple of doors down at the Harbour Club Wine Bar, simple food, fair prices, they do a lovely Sunday Roast but not one of your €7 piled high, theirs is a small starter and main for €12.50 or 3 courses for €15 Always been nice so I'm happy to travel the extra miles and pay a couple of euros more for my Sunday lunch.

try Friendly Dolphin best  in Los Gig for SUNDAY ROAST NOW AND TAOAS IS GOOD
