Restaurante Manduca Villaverde — Restaurant in La Oliva

Great wine selection, cold beer and yummy octopus what else can a girl ask for, after a wonderful hike around mountain arenas. If you want pizza it isn't advertised anywhere (think secret menu) but looks absolutely delicious especially if you like cracker thin crust (another reason for only 3 stars). The Hamburger with a fried egg on top looks yummy too. The rest of the menu is typical canarian cuisine and they didn't have "Tapas" size plates "available" (which is why I gave them just 3 stars for that too) just full plates which are perfect enough to share with a few people (but limits your choices if you are on a budget) as for prices ...it is a bit pricey (another reason for 3 stars) but that is what you get...

This is a great restaurant. We had such a lovely meal tonight (and two nights ago just some drinks there which were also enjoyable). The staff are super-friendly and welcoming. The sirloin steak I had tonight was delicious and a really generous size, perfectly cooked anyway, but served with a sizzling hot plate in case you want to cook more or warm through (it was such a big steak, it came in handy!). Got to save some words for the local fried potatoes which were the tastiest I've had in years. To top off a great meal, the waiter (who's family produce the potatoes locally) gave us a bag to cook at home. We'll be regular...

The food is totally ok but nothing special. The dishes are overpriced and could be cheaper. So one time is more than enough. People which are writing that they have tried here their best food, have not tried a really tasty food! It is definitely not a place where I would like to go again.

PS: The owner of the restaurant has responded that I only ate prawns with garlic on that day and probably forgot what they really served me?! I had not only the prawns with garlic but also octopus, burger and even a cake as a desert. Stop lying and talk...
