56º Restaurant & Grill — Restaurant in San Bartolomé de Tirajana

I picked this restaurant on a whim due to the good ratings and was quite happy to get a table without prior reservation. I ordered a 200g filet steak medium rare and Canarian potatoes ("patatas arrugadas") as side dish. It took the (medium friendly) waitress 20 min to come and take the order and I had to wait nearly half an hour for the food (in the meantime my chilled rose wine was warm). The piece of meat delivered was in my opinion not a filet, a third of it was quite sinewy and fat and almost well done. The steak obviously was also not given the appropriate resting time as there was quite a lot of meat juice when I cut it and even the medium rare part was a bit chewey. The so-called Canarian potatoes tasted like normal potatoes cooked with the skin on and reheated afterwards - not at all like the very delicicious original Canarian speciality. Sorry, I...

A place worthy of its high rating.

I started out with a tapas appetiser which had a great composition of flavours.

For the main course 200gr beef filet steak medium to well done, with a side of gratin potatoes and pepper sauce. The steak was done exactly to my liking and with the assortment of steamed vegetables on the side made for a wonderful meal. I wasn’t sure what side I wanted with along the main, but the waiter recommended the gratin potatoes which was a success.

For dessert I had a salty caramel mousse topped with sweet chocolate sauce with dollops of salty caramel spread around. The meringue made it a great combination of salty and sweet, it is a dessert of my highest recommendation.

With the combination of a helpful and accommodating waiter and a masterful chef I rate...

I never write reviews, but after spending a few days at a local hotel and wanting something better for dinner I searched and found good reviews for this restaurant, thought I'd give it a whirl. After trying to find it in the shopping centre (level 1) your greeted with a small shop front, but don't let this put you off through the restaurant there's a larger area with sea views. Good view, good service and good food! Wish I'd found it...
