La Jaula de Oro — Restaurant in Pájara

We came here because we went to see the caves. We check online, this restaurant has 4.5 stars and the next one 2.0. So we chose this one. Please, don't. You might as well try the next one. It started with bad service. It was busy so we were waiting in a line. We were approached by the waiter and given the number according to our spot in line. But the other waiter only spoke Spanish, we didn't know what he was asking, we showed the number, but 2 families behind us got seated before us. For example, when we were already in the line, some other family was still walking around the spot, not in the line, yet. In the end they've already left when we didn't even finish the food. When we were seated, the table was cleaned, but not the chair which had some food on it. I found a cloth hanging randomly on the fence by the door and cleaned it myself. So we order and get starters and after we finish it, he is asking if we want to pay. He forgot about the 4 main dishes. So, we eventually get the mains and the food is bad. To compare, it's like Spar cantine level of food, where you eat to survive, not to enjoy. But in Spar you pay 40€ for 4 people and here you pay over 100€. The fish was dry and tasteless, the steak was like sawdust. Here is the point where the first mentioned family had already left. And we were waiting for the check, forever. And ever. And eventually I went inside, and the guy realises that we're still here, apologizes and I finnaly paid. It ruined a part of our day. It's better to take some sandwiches in the supermarket. Or try the restaurant with 2.0 stars,...

First I was concerned about the pricing (there's nothing much under 10 euros), but then the grilled squid and the view were both top notch. ...not to mention the rest of the food. The local fried fish on the pic has also been super delicious. Coffee is alright - lavazza. The flan is not the best, still the place deserves the 5 stars. Other reviews complain about the crew and their attitude, but they were okay. Their temperament is a bit italian-ish (like their coffee - ahhahha), they look busy, run up and down, clean the table fast... not the typical spanish "laid back" style. It is in a surprising contrast with the lovelyness of the tiny little...

Today it was the last time I visit this bar/restaurant....I enjoyed this bar for several years now and with me a lot of clients who were with me.....but now I won’t visit it ever again, and so my clients won’t go either. The politic way to avoid people who wants to have a drink only, is without any respect! If you don’t eat and even it’s 15.55h ( the role is: no eating, no table till 16:00h)....you have to leave this establishment..... Im feeling very ashamed that this happens on Fuerteventura. The good thing is that the other bar, just around the corner, doesn’t have this rule! And yes, finally we did eat something spontaneous, but not because we...
