Can Pasqual Restaurant — Restaurant in Formentera

Potentially the most disgusting and disappointing experience I’ve ever had. I know most people in these reviews exaggerate when they say that, but I’m not.

Let me break down why this restaurant is possibly the worst restaurant in Spain at this price point:

None of the waiters speak any English. Furthermore, they’re extremely catty and sassy - they’ll ask you questions, you’ll say you don’t understand them, and they’ll roll their eyes at you and leave. Service is horrible. Our first three starters all came out on time, but one of our starters took ~1 hour and our paella main took 1.5 hours to arrive after sitting down. Also, every other table received an amuse bouche, but we were never given one. Related to point #1 and #2, we asked to cancel the remainder of our dishes and bring us the bill after waiting for ~45 minutes. The waiters didn’t understand (refuses to understand?) us, never brought us the bill, and brought out all of our dishes anyway Three slugs fell from the pine trees above the restaurant onto (i) the table, (ii) my girlfriend’s bag, and (iii) our 1.5 hour late paella. Upon informing one of the wait staff, she flicked each one off. For the one in our paella, she picked it up and flicked it off and then asked if we were done with our (barely eaten) paella and took it away. They made no adjustments to the final bill. No offered drinks or refreshments, no acknowledgment of the slugs, and full charge for all the food we asked to cancel.

The food here is great and the ambience is too, which is a shame all around. Honestly though, there’s a bunch of other great restaurants on the island and the absolutely disgusting service we had here make this restaurant an avoid...

We didn't enjoy the experience or the food.

They try to play the upscale but the service was too pushy. We just sat down and we were still reading the menu when the waiter very unpolitely asked us if we were ready (if we were reading the menu ... obviously no) then he made the remarks we close the kitchen in few minutes ...then why you accepted a reservation for 22:30 if you treat clients that come to relax and enjoy an experience like this?

He totally put us off. We would have walked away and go somewhere else but it was not a time you find many places open, so we order only two main courses a grilled octopus and a grilled squid.

The squid didn't even come with side and was stiff overcooked ...

So all is just fashion rather than quality and service ...

We didn't even finish the olives and bread when they took our plates away (they obviously wanted all yo go home) but there were 3 more tables eating .. mah!!!

Their dessert menu is very basic only chocolate cake, apple pie and an Alaska suffle seemed the most "complex ones" we tried the Alaska suffle and no way it taste nothing was still frozen inside and the fruit at the base didn't taste of fresh fruit but frozen...

The prices are upscale and the food didn't match the quality, neither did the experience ...

I liked the alioli bread with olives and oil - yes! But they didn't even let me finish...

unfortunately our dinner experience was very underwhelming and different to other reviews. we felt uncomfortable and not welcome from the first moment we entered the restaurant and our evening continued in the exact same way. we came there with high expectations as it’s such a beautiful place, but we left very disappointed. we will definitely not be back and won’t recommend it to anyone, our worst dinner experience on formentera.

positive: paella was good restaurant is beautiful

negative: VERY unwelcoming most staff not speaking a word English spaghetti bolognese were horrible (i know, not a typical dish to order, but if it’s on the menu it better be tasty and well presented) food wasn’t served together, when mentioned they took it back in a very unpolite way service VERY inattentive we would have spent more but nobody came to ask for drinks or to take the glasses and dishes away for a very long time we were happy to leave

overall underwhelming, overpriced, not feeling appreciated as a customer combined with non...
