Restaurante La Dársena — Restaurant in Candelaria

Avoid this place if you have any dietary restrictions! I asked for the allergen menu, which is legally required in Spain, and they didn’t have one. Instead, the staff vaguely offered to tell me the allergens verbally and mentioned a few dishes they could make gluten-free using rice flour in a separate fryer.

However, they add gluten to completely unexpected dishes, including paellas and other meals that are traditionally made with fresh seafood and rice. I ordered a “black rice” dish, and to my surprise, it came topped with a mountain of deep-fried squid, something absolutely not part of the original recipe. The pictures of the dish published on Google by other users who reviewed the place didn’t have that sxxt on top so I assume that they ran out of ingredients and got ‘creative’ instead of letting us know that it was not possible to order that.

When I raised the issue, the waitress just shrugged and told me to eat the rice and leave the rest. I explained I couldn’t eat any of it due to cross-contamination, and instead of apologizing, she simply handed me the menu again to pick another dish. To top it off, she even asked if we wanted the fried squid to go. Absolutely unacceptable and...

It was priced at a total of 30 euros for two people, which was shocking when it arrived because there was barely any meat on the paella. If I don't count the bones, I think it was a maximum of 100g of meat for two people! It was pretty much only well seasoned rice, which tasted good but was incredibly overpriced and even the rice was rather small portion. The food tastes good at this place, the staff was friendly but the paella portion and pricing is absolutely not okay. Also the toilets were...

It was windy and cold Sunday so we were looking for warm place and good food to enjoy. Darsena were looking inviting with a view to a rough ocean. I took Madragena fish and my partner lomo with fries and green peppers. Everything was fresh and really tasty. Cortado and Barracito were as a last,nice accent that evening. But the most important was that the waiter was very helpfull and always smiling,open to a needs of clients. I hope that young,angry waitress spinning around had only bad mood that day. Would be a pity for the rest of the great ,kind stuff. We really enjoyed our meal. They...
