CHIRINGUITO LAS GAVIOTAS — Restaurant in Benalmádena

Not sure why Google has removed this review as its all factual - reposted. Visited here as was close to Hotel and fancied some seafood on the beach. Food was hit and miss but I would avoid anything served with vegetables as they were clearly rotten. Complained to the waitress and was ignored. On getting the bill we complained again and were told the rotten vegetables came with the dish and we should just pay as fish was the star of the show. We suggested not serving rotten food if that’s the case. We were left there for 15 mins as everyone ignored us, eventually a guy who seemed like the head waiter came over saying vegetables were cooked in vinegar and garlic and generally treated us as morons who can’t recognise off food. He then stormed over to a family next to us and shouted at them if their vegetables were ok. They were just as shocked as us and just nodded. At this stage we just paid the bill and left utterly embarrassed for everyone- don’t get fooled by the location and give this tourist trap a miss. You...

One if the numerous restaurants that we have eaten in this week… and the worst! Mediocre food, fairly empty at 1pm (wish I had taken note before sitting) 🙄 At least 4 waiters just standing around watching and the ‘chef’ doing the bbq mostly stood arms folded and dripping with sweat. Artificial grass flooring but full of food bits, plastic tables definitely need replacing. The cheap thin paper cloths don’t really hide the worn, damaged appearance.

Sardines the smallest we have had in a week, Russian salad tasted sloppy Like watery mash.

Overpriced! Only thing going for it is the view!

No atmosphere and waiters make you feel like an inconvenience 🤣

Will avoid, when I’m here next.

Save your money and go to one of the many others along...

OK first things first my family had been travelling all day and were starving and STILL left half our food. Honestly dreadful. Food was cold. Vegetables were mush. Crinkled carrots like from a can. Restaurant is 100 metres from the sea and I've never had worse seafood. Randomly drilling something in the middle of our meal. In the evening & in the restaurant, too, for some unknown reason. Food was swimming in oil. Staff were passive at best. Frustrated I didn't choose somewhere else and had to pay at all. If I'd of been at home I'd of absolutely complained directly but staff didn't seem open to it. No check...
