Restaurante La Zula — Restaurant in Agulo

After many trips to Tenerife I finally managed to persuade my partner to go on a trip to Gomera in late January. The bus tour was informative but the stop for lunch was a resemblance of first sitting at senior school. Nearly 30 on the trip but expected to sit on 6 tables although there were many many tables vacant. The wine was drinkable but obviously been decanted and the tumblers provided for the wine were so old they had lost their sheen , they were all ready for the recycling. Sadly that was the high point of the lunch. The soup was thick bland green gou, not only did it look inedible it had no taste to it. The judges are still out on the ingredients of the soup. Main course was a minute chicken drumstick which was well cooked with a small amount of spice. Boiled rice, either overcooked or re heated, just fell short of mush and the vegetables were unidentifiable due to being overcooked. Piece de resistance was the children's ice cream portion served with the iconic small plastic spatula. Hungry travellers arrived , hungry travellers left.( Next stop on the tour at National Park did a roaring trade in local cookies).The highlight was the whistling which everyone enjoyed. If I was to recommend the tour of Gomera I would suggest they take their own packed lunch where you can go somewhere...

Ufff... No sé por dónde empezar leyendo estas reseñas. Primero , algún iluminado que dice : "Piu piu piuuu piu piu piiiiu piu piu (8) Que traducido del lenguaje gomero al español es: Crema de berros ". A lo primero, sepa ud. que el "lenguaje gomero" , es , lamentablemente, el mismo que el suyo. Lo de "Piu piu piuuu piu piu piiiiu piu piu " , no es , ni mínimamente gracioso , ni medio normal. El silbo gomero, es un lenguaje idiomático silbado, ancestral y por tanto , merecedor de respeto. Como cualquier otra acepción lingüística que pudiera haber en este, su país. Por otro lado, la " crema de berros" , no es tal. Para serlo , es condición sine qua non , que contenga algún lácteo, bien nata, queso u otro, no siendo este el caso. Para su información, lo que ud. no probó, fue POTAJE DE BERROS y es típico de La Gomera. Siendo el buque insignia de Casa Efigenia , restaurante visitado y elogiado por personajes de la Casa Real , autoridades nacionales e internacionales , incluida , con asiduidad la Sra. Ángela Merkel. De ahí que llamarlo " crema de berros es casi una herejía . No sé en qué condiciones cognitivas estaba ud. a la hora de recibir las dos explicaciones, pero intuyo que algo atascadas. Finalmente, referente a las reseñas, hay varios que puntúan muy bajo , alegando que iban en grupos u excursiones organizadas por ejemplo, desde Tenerife, donde tengo el placer de vivir. Hay gente que paga dos euros y pretende ser servida a nivel Buckingham Palace... Pues no, señores, lo que se paga , es lo que se obtiene. Este turismo , es justo el que no necesitan las islas . Turismo hiper low cost. No nos merecemos estos pelamantas . Referente al restaurante, he de decir que hemos comido hoy y ha sido estupendo. Trato insuperable. Comida muy buena. Y precio, mucho más que razonable. Carne de cabra , POTAJE DE BERROS , ensalada , 1/2 litro de vino , 2 refrescos y un postre, buenísimo todo, por poco más de 35€. Insisto, más que razonable. Se adjuntan imágenes. Saludos a quienes se tomen la molestia de leer esta extensa reseña. Pd : Hay alguien que habla de la exhibición de " silbo canario" , perdón, pero no lo es. Es SILBO GOMERO, apartado del indefectible desuso , gracias al tesón del presidente del cabildo , el Sr....

Meal in the restaurant was part of organized group trip on La Gomera, so that can be factor why the lunch looked like that. It was not very bad, but rice, vegetables and meat tasted like it was from frozen portions, just warmed up. I don't know much about wine, but spanish guy at our table was laughing, that this is not wine.... For dessert there was some sort of frozen cream from supermarket. Having that clear, I must mention that whistling language presentation was very interesting experience, very nice to see and hear the story of it, the staff was professional and friendly, so maybe when you are there on your own, and choose your own menu, your experience will...
