Chirate Restaurante — Restaurant in Tuineje

After having a drink here on Friday night we decided we would book a table to eat on Saturday and I’m so glad we did. The staff are absolutely lovely, making us feel very welcome in broken English, we were also trying to converse in broken Spanish too. We had the croquette selection that was recommended by our waiter. Each piece melted in the mouth and has distinctly different flavours. For mains I ordered the Fish of the day and my husband the beef filet. Now my husband only likes his beef medium to well done……a crime I know but when the beef can put it was blue. Oh no I thought he’s not going to eat this but the next arrival at the table was a small gas burner with hot plate so he could cut the slices of steak to his liking, this was such a great touch and made the meal so enjoyable. Not usually dessert people we were going to leave it there but the goats milk cheesecake sounded too good not to try and wow it was so delicious I wish we hadn’t shared! Fantastic food and very attentive staff thank you for a...

Very tasty food overall. All dishes tasted homemade and local and very satisfying.

Do not expect high end restaurant dishes. Expect a nice dinner like granny used to make.

-1 star due to: Fries where the most simple frozen fries and did not fit the rest of the dish. Either serve cooked potatoes or make your own fried fries. the peppers could've been cooked better. Many places in fuerte serve exactly same peppers but cooked/fried better

EDIT: Following the owners response I add 1 star back. Fair enough if everything is freshly prepped including the fries. In that case let's just say the fries served with goat were not my favorite. However, everything else was really delicious so I think its just a minor...

We came across the little gem on Christmas Day night and even though we hadn’t a booking they fitted us in!

Service was so good - waiter even though he said his English wasn’t great he managed to help us navigate through the menu and was very helpful with my husband’s shellfish allergy!

Myself and my daughter both had the lamb and my husband had the steak which he was able to cook myself on a grill.

Food was exceptionally good - proper authentic Canarian style!

Usually I don’t go for dessert as we are often disappointed but they too are homemade! Chocolate fondant was to die for - and my husband had the goats milk cheesecake and was also impressed! Definitely worth the trip...
