El Lagar De Baco — Restaurant in Yaiza

A great hidden gem with generous portions, fast service, and solid value. Definitely worth visiting.

Food: We ordered a cheeseburger with chips, prawns al ajillo, Canarian wrinkled potatoes, goat cheese (provolone) with jam and mojo, and a side of bread. Overall, the food was very good. Portions were generous, and most of the dishes were enjoyable. The only item that didn’t hit the mark for me was the cheese. A solid meal, just not one I’d rate a full 5. Rating: 4/5 ⭐️

Drinks: We had a Jack & Coke and a pink gin with lemon Fanta. Both drinks were good. They even added orange slices and raspberries to the gin, which was a nice touch. Though a couple of the raspberries were mushy, which is something that should probably be avoided. Rating: 4/5 ⭐️

Staff: Friendly and efficient. Orders were taken and served very quickly. Rating: 5/5 ⭐️

Environment: The place is quite unassuming from the outside. Definitely a “don’t judge a book by its cover” spot. It was peaceful and not too busy, creating a relaxed dining experience. Rating: 4/5 ⭐️

Value for Money: Great value for what we got. Rating: 5/5 ⭐️

Extras: N/A

Total Paid: €55.50

‼️Remark: On the pictures, we had already eating a slice of cheese, bread and a couple or wrinkled potatoes.

Overall...

Came for an evening meal last night. Initially thought the place looked nice and the waiter was very jolly and attentive. The menu looked good. We ordered the premium burger and the meat lasagne, with a side of algromote toast. Got a beer and a Fanta lemon. Food arrived. The algromote toast was nice and tasty. I didn't think there was anything 'premium' about the burger. It was simply a round ball of cooked mince in a bread bun with a bit of lettuce and tomato. No flavour at all. I ate half of it and left the bread because it was dry. My wife's lasagne arrived slightly later, amd looked good. She started eating it and the initial part, with the sauce was hot. However the inside of the lasagne was so cold that she reckoned it had just come out of the freezer. Inedible. Complained and walked out. Maybe they had a...

Poor We shared some tapas dishes - chips, padron peppers, squid and a mixed salad. Sounded ok. However, the chips were drenched in mayonnaise, the peppers were drooping with oil/fat, ditto the squid which was covered in some greasy gunk and the salad unimaginative. Squid was overpriced at 14 euros, ditto the mixed salad at 8 euros. Ingredients would cost less than 20 cents. To finish off we were overcharged by the waiter who slipped prawns at 11 euros into the bill hoping we wouldn't notice. A real shame because the restaurant is in a lovely spot and has a good atmosphere. Shame about the food. For goodness sake get a new chef...
