Restaurante El Lago — Restaurant in Haría

We had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and it was an exceptional experience for all three families, including the kids. Initially, we planned to visit another restaurant but were redirected here—and it turned out to be an incredible choice.

The food was the highlight of the evening. The seafood paella was a true masterpiece, brimming with fresh prawns, mussels, clams, and fish, perfectly cooked and seasoned with vibrant herbs and citrus. Each bite was rich and flavorful, a classic dish done right.

The mussels, served in a simple yet flavorful preparation, stood out for their freshness, with the hint of lemon enhancing the natural taste of the sea.

Another standout was the grilled seafood platter, which showcased an impressive variety of seafood, including perfectly grilled fish, tender octopus, crispy calamari, and large, juicy prawns. Served with a colorful assortment of fresh vegetables and the iconic Canarian potatoes, this dish was a feast for both the eyes and the palate.

The best part? The food was incredibly affordable—surprisingly cheap compared to similar quality restaurants in Europe. The generous portions, authentic flavors, and outstanding quality at such a reasonable price made the experience even more enjoyable.

The overall presentation of the dishes was as remarkable as their taste. Every plate was crafted with attention to detail, and the service was warm and accommodating, ensuring everyone felt welcome.

Needless to say not very personable, save for a couple of other waiters that occasionally checked on us for a refill, with a smile. The food was definitely better. The grilled octopus was tender and very flavourful. The "catch of the day" was quite decent as well. The steak was medium done, as requested, and was nothing to complain about. Overall an alright place if you'd like to pop in for a bite to eat with...

Terrible. Seating was fast, having booked in advance, order taken quickly and starters delivered promptly but after that we were just left waiting. Of 3 persons ordering only 1 main course was brought to the table and the other 2 never arrived until complaining. The mixed grill fish for 2 persons was then brought to the table after another 15 minute wait but by then we decided that was enough. The platter for 2 was only about the same amount as the fish of the day for 1. Staff were not concerned at all and the owner didn't come to the table when requested. Not impressed at all and expected...
