Buying their fish from port and growing as much of their own veg as possible. If it can be home made it is ! Right down the delicious garlic mayo and tartar sauce . We had the Grilled Sole special and the Mussels El Golfo. Perfectly cooked great tasting cuisine.... The next day we returned and started with a shell fish soup. It was more stew like than soup and more fish,squid and prawns than shell fish but it was perfect and so tasty I ended up licking the bowl clean ! She had some tomatoe soup which was divine but not in the same class of my shellfish. For mains I had a grilled fish platter. I couldn't tell you exactly what was there but I can say there were five or six types on my plate and it was all very very nice. The trump card for this establishment is their pricing. We spent less than 15 quid for two courses with wine. Which for food of this quality is a bargain !

Very nice restaurant in the Old Town and if you can get seated at a table overlooking the ocean and…read moreharbour at the back, then it's all the more enjoyable. The only problem we found during our recent visit was the unwelcome intrusion of flies and insects. However, one of the friendlier waitress provided a citronella candle on request to try and keep the bugs at bay! The menu was pretty well varied with a selection of fish, meat, tapas and pasta dishes. We chose pasta which was relatively good and tasty but fairly ordinary. Got the impression that they were more interested in getting people into the restaurant and once seated the service was rushed and the head waiter was an unfriendly chap! However, the view from table is breathtaking and probably makes up for mediocre food!

Excellent service with the most attentive and friendliest staff. There was a large group of us with varying orders which were all served to perfection, apart from the canarian potatoes which were cold but were replaced promptly upon complaint. As a very nice gesture which doesn't happen in many restaurants, we were all offered a free drink of our choice on the house before we left. This restaurant doesn't appear to have its own toilets so we had to use public toilets right next door... I didn't like that, however, they were spotlessly clean!

Unbelievably delicious food from start to finish, top notch in every way and as another reviewer…read morehas said, it is a truly gourmet experience! This restaurant is now owned and run by an Irish couple (Chris and Emer King) and as an Irish person, I feel proud and privileged to have eaten there. The restaurant is slightly off the beaten path and not really easy to find, it is situated just up the hill from the main harbour of the old town of Puerto del Carmen and actually right beside the other famous Irish/Polish Bozenas Restaurant. As we weren't overly hungry when we ate here last night we decided just to go for mains followed by a delicious dessert, judging by the menu! To our surprise we were happy we made that choice as we were presented with a complimentary sample of a mouthwatering caramelised onion and roast beef tartlet and sweet popcorn served with a selection of freshly baked breads. For mains we chose oven roasted chicken with black pudding and Parma ham stuffing and a red wine herb jus, plus king prawns sautéed in garlic, ginger and fresh chilli with a tomato concasse fresh herb and sticky rice. Accompanying both of those deliciously tasting dishes was a selection of perfectly cooked fresh vegetables and layered potatoes. For dessert we thoroughly enjoyed equally delicious and mouthwatering chocolate mousse and a truly amazing sticky toffee pudding, oozing with runny toffee sauce from its centre....served with a tiny ice cream cone! They had a good wine list and we enjoyed a half bottle of a Spanish cab. sauv, priced at around €8.50 which appears somewhat pricier than normal in the vicinity, but probably better quality! As we were presented with the bill of approx €56 for all of the above (again a little pricy but not for that type of food and service) we were given a complimentary glass of cava and tiny little salted caramel chocolates! Wonderful friendly and efficient service, lovely atmosphere and comfortable seating in a small but secluded terrace outside as well as inside space. Highly recommend this restaurant for a truly tasty and gourmet experience.

Great food, great service, great everything :-)…read more We had one week in Puerto Del Carmen, and ended up eating here twice. There are many good eateries in the town, but if you are going for the gourmet experience, this is the place to go. And even though this (both times) was the most expensive meal of our stay, is was also the best value.... both the food and the service was simply top notch. And still a bargain deal compared to danish prices. As vegans we often get something from the menu minus the meat, fish or cheese. We had heard, that they at Kristian's Restaurant could make vegan food so we went and asked, what we could get. We were told, that we had to book a day in advance, and get whatever the chef came up with. We took the chance, and booked a table. When we came there, we found out, that we got a five course dinner created just for us, for only around twice the price as we payed for 'run of the mill' standard starter and main course at other restaurants around. When we came back the second time, we got a totally different five course dinner. This place surpassed any expectation. Remember that if you want to order vegan, you have to tell them at day in advance, and be prepared to eat whatever the chef and owner Christopher comes up with. But rest assured, you will not be sorry :-)

There's an inside and outside area; so if you want to get out of the sun (though there is overhead shade), and you don't like taking in magnificent views, then sure sit inside in the cosiness! But if that IS your thing, pull yourself up a chair on the terrace, and sit back and take it all in. The food is also excellent. I had fresh fish fillet which was so fresh it practically melted in my mouth, with a massive salad, and plate of small gorgeous little potatoes with a side of various sauces. The staff were lovely too - warm, welcoming, professional & on the ball. Highly recommended.
