Steak-house Restaurant Testarossa — Restaurant in Adeje

We’ve visited it twice recently, and both times left us feeling rather underwhelmed — not exactly a culinary triumph.

To begin with, the wait for food was impressively long. Long enough to memorise the wine list, contemplate life choices, and consider whether we’d accidentally signed up for a fasting retreat.

When the food finally did arrive, it was a mixed bag. The steaks were quite good — tender, tasty, and clearly the restaurant’s strong suit. Unfortunately, things went a bit downhill from there. The fish appeared to have been defrosted with more hope than care, and the price suggested it had swum over from Harrods. Canarian potatoes were a bit on the tired side — possibly leftovers from a quieter week — and sauces seemed to operate on a lottery system: present one night, missing in action the next.

The French fries were particularly memorable, mainly because some of them were still frozen in the middle — which is not the sort of crunch one usually hopes for. And one dish had to be sent back altogether as it was so salty we briefly considered desalinating it ourselves.

In short, if you’re after a decent steak and have time to spare, it might be worth a visit. Just keep your expectations in check, and maybe bring your own chips —...

Firstly what a sorry shame. Greeted by a friendly waiter who was outside touting for hungry, unsuspecting people. We enquired about the fillet steak. Oh yes he said, it cuts through like a knife with butter. Not the case at all. The steak was past it's best and the grasp of medium/rare had been masked with being overcooked/crucified to hide the fact the beef was grey and gone off. Now for my fajitas - what in gods name went on there? Boiled chicken in a sweet chilli sauce with peppers? Aren't fajitas suppose to be Mexican? What is the rank, cheesy stinking honey and mustard sauce, why are you giving me that instead of sour cream - sick in a gravy boat. Where was the guacamole, the salsa? At least you supplied the tortillas though, every cloud. When I asked about this friendly waiter turned into a first class bell end. Came over and rudely tried to slam bbq sauce and more sweet chilli on the table. Before being cheeky to paying customers, check you can fulfil the menu and can cook it properly. Avoid this place at all costs. Its just cost me £70. I genuinely believe they thought I was guna refuse to pay because the waiter ran over so fast with his pdq he almost slipped over. Praying I don't get the...

We arrived last night, order taken quickly. After delivery of food service was terrible the waiters were watching the football awards on tv more than looking at the people on tables.

Signalled a guy he saw me responded and then disappeared for 20 mins then came to give dessert menus.

The chocolate cake was not as shown on the photo menu and I told the waiter/owner. He just said ‘we have given people this for 6-7 years and no one complains’. He could have just said sorry it doesn’t match the picture I’ll refund it sorry. Doesn’t seem like the dude ever apologies for anything.

He did try offering me another random cake which tasted worse than the first. Perhaps this is not the place for desserts. The main course was fine no complaints.

All in all wouldn’t return. Mainly for the service. Customer...
