Verde Mar — Restaurant in Guía de Isora

This restaurant was absolutely incredible. Firstly the food was amazing. It’s so great to see vegetables being the star of dishes in such an established high quality hotel - shining a spotlight on sustainable and local foods. There was attention to detail in every dish and a lot of thought and care went into each menu item. Even the drinks had most components handmade in house with no use of external syrups etc.

In terms of dishes, we had the avo tomato bread starter which was delicious. Then for mains we tried the aubergine and saffron rice (like a risotto / paella). Both delicious, but the aubergine was on top for us due to the incredible flavours. The deserts were stars of the show! We tried the chocolate hazelnut dessert, and the lime avo mousse one. Both so different and experimental but incredible. So creative! They also kindly gave us the mango ice cream to try complimentary, as we asked about it and that was delicious!

Secondly, the service was second to none. Being in the ritz you expect no less, but it was really exceptional. Jordan was the waiter who greeted us and he was so friendly and welcoming. We then had numerous waiters who were all amazing, friendly and very attentive.

Finally the ambiance was great, super fresh and airy.

I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone. A truly amazing...

As vegetarians, there were a lot of really nice options here and the staff was really helpful in helping us identify how much we should be ordering and what options might be worthwhile. For 2 of us they recommended 2 smaller plates and 2 main meals. We ended up getting the bread starter, 2 smaller plates, 1 main, and 2 desserts and that was perfect. With the breads starter there was a nice aubergine cream/sauce with veggie chips, really enjoyed that! The bread with olive oil was nice too but more standard. As appetizer we got the Avovado, it's apperently a favorite. It was pretty good, essentially crispy bread you can use as chips with avo and pico on top. The Platano bravo was delicious and our favorite of the small dishes. We got the Roasted Caulfilower as our main dish and that was perfect to share, really great flavor. Last the desserts - the Apple Tatin was good but the cheesecake was amazing - light and fluffy with some seasonal fruit on the side, that was definitely a favorite. Overall nice experience (there is an outdoor terrace you can sit at) and really friendly staff. Loved the veggie forward options! Price is higher because of the experience and it being at the Ritz but was really...

Love the concept of this restaurant. We’ve been a few times and it works for vegans, vegetarians and meat lovers and vegan/vegetarian curious diners.

The menu is mainly vegan and veggie but with side dishes and portions of meat and fish dishes.

Everything is seasonal, local and organic. Dishes are creative and flavourful. Seasoning is in the dressings on the dishes. In this review I cannot say the word delicious enough! Dishes are beautifully presented, bursting as much with creativity and colour as they are with flavours.

We ordered the bread to begin with aubergine and cheese dip along with air dried veg.

To start we had the tempura of spring onions served with green mojo sauce on the side. and the roasted carrot and beetroot.

For our main dishes we ordered too much food firstly but enjoyed every morsel. The sweet potato with roasted corn topping and a hummus. The roasted cauliflower. The canarian chicken and the tuna. One side would have been plenty.

My husband ordered the coco passion to finish. Again delicious.

You really won’t taste more delicious and flavoursome vegetables. If you get the opportunity do try this restaurant highly recommend it. You won’t be...
