The Queen Vic — Restaurant in Arona

Queen Vic

Since arriving in Los Cristianos we observed there was a plethora of places to eat and socialise and we were blown away by the choice. Here for ten days we samples various local establishments and some further away in Las Americas. The Queen Vic was one we briefly passed by and dropped into and since that first visit we knew we’d found “our place”. Now bearing in mind we’re not the typical stay at one place kind of couple but something felt different here. We booked a reservation for the Fish & Chips on the Friday at €13.95 for the large. This wasn’t our only food outing and like I’ve mentioned before is unlike us but we have gravitated towards this place. The owner is amazingly friendly and Leanne is the person that will make your time here unforgettable. What can we say?, amazing food, great prices and friendly family atmosphere. Live sports and offers on throughout the week. It’s a cliche that brits travel abroad and head to British based establishments but this place will help you to realise why. If you’re staying in Los Cristianos head down to the market area (also known as old town) and visit “The Queen Vic”. We’re here until Monday and intend to come back tomorrow for the breakfast. You can (like us) literally afford to book self catering and eat and drink here for less than an all inclusive. Trust me I’ve compared the overall cost. NB - Prices are current as...

Gave it one star for sheer hipocracy. Had a drink and a late lunch here. Only 2 other tables in use. Food was as you would expect. Nothing special and expensive for what it was. After lunch we asked for an ashtray. We were told that there was no smoking while the kitchen was open and advised to stand on the street. I don't think so. During our lunch we observed the waitress taking no less than 3 cigarette breaks while serving customers food from the very same kitchen. No hand washing in between either. Given that the kitchen was at the back of the bar and the terrace at the front I fail to see how it could have been harmful to the food or offensive to the cook. I fully understand no smoking rules but let's make it for...

A nice little bar second line from the beach with nice sunny terrace.

I ordered a pint and a big breakfast which both came very quickly.

The pint was excellent but breakfast wasn't the best, scrambled eggs were runny and the black pubbing was rock hard and inedible. I complained to the waiter who to his credit was very honest when he said that the chef was new and was useless. He added that he was the normal chef and if I came back in 2 days he would be in the kitchen and I would get a good breakfast. He offered no reommpence but did say that he would kick the chef's backside!!!!

Probably just a bad day so I might try again at...
