After passing many restaurants on our walk to the Maspalomas Dunes at sunset, on our way back Hugo…read moreD and I chose Calma Chicha. Luckily we snagged the last table without a dinner reservation. While this place has an intimate dining room probably for the winter months, in summer service is only outside with full coverage umbrellas. Unlike many of the typical old school restaurants along Avenida de Tirajana, it's contemporary in a clean boho setting with many live plants and cacti. For starters Hugo chose a tasty Scallops Carpaccio while I went for an equally delicious Fungui Porcini & Mushroom Carpaccio. Both were beautifully plated. I had to try Grilled Canarian Friesian Entrecôte due to its unusual provenance. It was grilled medium rare as ordered and came sliced. Seasoned well, very tasty and I couldn't believe I finished it all. We loved our waiter; he was attentive, friendly and fun, even though he was extremely busy as all the tables were full. Calma Chicha is definitely on our list to return.

This is one of the best places to go to eat in Playa Del Ingles and the surrounding area (at least…read morefor me). It does NOT have plastic tables nor plastic chairs. You get a complimentary glass of cava too! We read about this place on TA and decided to check it out. A few tables, remember to make a reservation here! Nice ambience and decor inside the restaurant. It doesn't look much from the outside, but it gets better once you get down to the main dining room. Appetizers looked really good. We had fish for starter. Nom! And for main we did the lamb, but I was not so happy with the look of that. Meat was tender and good, but the sides were really boring. I would recommend you to try something else for a main. Desserts looked good as well and I did the chocolate fondant (they have named it something else) and it was good. All the melted choco from the centre. Overall - good service. Prices are ok. Food ok (plus for starter, little minus for boring and a bit bland main). Ok winelist as well. Oh yes - PLUS for menu in only English and French. Goodbye Norwegian menus!

But the best is the very friendly and helpful crew of waiters apart from the wonderful dishes of course. Before the meal they serve two complimentary starters one consisting of breadsticks, marinated olives and cream cheese and the other of homemade bread with garlic mayonnaise. A rap treat. I tried a few as I stayed in the hotel. The grilled filet of sea bass on a carpet of tomato sauce, onions and carrots julienne accompanied with gratinated potatoes was a delight to eat. And the dessert Caramelita Canaria consisted of a tiny sheet of caramel on top of which several white chocolate balls where placed. Each scoop tasted like heaven. I tried also the Beef Tenderloin, which was served medium cooked as requested. French fries were part of the dish but I choose to add a side dish of Grilled Seasonal Vegetables. The meat was one of the best I tested lately. The vegetables and the fries were not less tasty. To close the meal I opted for a dessert named Chocolate Coulant, which consisted of a small dark cake filled with dark liquid chocolate and a side scoop of vanilla ice. Eating it felt like heaven. As you can imagine I didn't look further for another restaurant in the surrounding area.

Hugo D and I were so taken by the delicious fish dishes we came back for a second dinner. Our first dinner started with a half Seafood Salad and amazing, fresh Grilled Razor Clams. The clams were so tasty and tender we ordered them at dinner #2. Our huge salt-baked fish for two came out with a flourish. The server expertly removed the salt crust and boned it for us. I did not have one bone on my plate! It was the best, freshest fish I've had in a long time. No bones to pick with this dish! Our second dinner was Grilled Turbot. This was a larger, less delicate white fish than our other dinner but was still good. It did not come boned as the fish slices were filet cut through the spine. We tried various glasses of wine, and by our second dinner just got a bottle of our favorite there, Lagar Ð Cevera Albariño 2022. Delicious with seafood! Service was excellent, formal but friendly, and the staff are definitely well-trained. The only downside to the ambiance the first night was a table of 12 with half being young children. A few were really unruly and annoyed many of the tables around us (some couples on dates, others with well-behaved kids). It didn't stop us from coming back because the food was so amazing.
