Restaurant Fungi's — Restaurant in Garachico

After reading all the glowing reviews, I might not have the most popular opinion, but I feel it’s important to share my experience. We tried the mushroom scrambled eggs and the beef skewer during our visit.

The scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked, but unfortunately, the dish was overwhelmed by the fig jam. It added an excessive sweetness that didn’t quite pair well with the other spices, making the overall flavor combination a bit confusing. Truffle was also listed as part of the ingredients, but I couldn’t detect its presence, as other flavors dominated the dish entirely.

As for the beef skewer—described as Argentinian beef—it was marinated in what seemed like red wine and spices. The result was a strong flavor of alcohol and cinnamon, which overshadowed the taste of the beef itself. If you have such a “good” product, why cover it up with so many overpowering and overcomplicated flavors?

The service, while “friendly”, was a bit too enthusiastic for my taste. The waiter spoke rather loudly and with a lot of energy, which felt a bit overwhelming at times. A more subdued approach would have created a more comfortable atmosphere.

I believe the concept of “less is more” could go a long way here. Using high-quality ingredients and focusing on their natural flavors, rather than masking them with excessive seasonings, would create a more enjoyable and balanced...

The best food quality in Garachico so far.

UPDATE: I gave the 5 star to food initially, but had to decrease to 4. The reason is the following: the 1st day I had the garlic prawns, and they were perfect, no question about it. But the next day I decided to try the beef "Entrana", and I expected more from this dish. The main issue is the beef itself. Basically the idea is that you get slices of beef, partially pre-cooked, and then you get a small stove to finish it the way you want. Sounds interesting as a concept, but when you try to eat such a beef, it will be simply hard. Maybe it was in my particular case, but generally I know, that typically you need to cook an average beef for ~2h until it gets nice and soft (hungarians and other nations know it very well). So unless you know what you are doing, think twice before ordering...

Good Experience Turned Bad

I’m really sad to write this because we had an enjoyable meal at this restaurant—the atmosphere was friendly, and the service was great. My boyfriend and I stopped by for lunch while on a tour with other travelers. We chose this place and ordered two beef dishes—mine came with potatoes, and his included mushrooms.

Unfortunately, about 1-2 hours after the meal, my boyfriend started feeling unwell, and we barely made it back to our hotel. Soon after, I also became sick, experiencing severe vomiting and diarrhea throughout the night. It was a terrible experience.

While we initially enjoyed the food, the aftermath was a nightmare. I hope this was just an isolated case, but I feel it’s important to share our experience so others can...
