MargheRita — Restaurant in Yaiza

After a long hike, I came across this picturesque restaurant beside the harbour. The waiter we had for the afternoon was very polite and welcoming upon our arrival. This would contribute towards the positive experience.

The drinks arrived in great time and the food arrived in fair time. My order was the Caesar Salad with the Chicken Strips as a side.

The chicken appeared different to what I’m used to, which was an interesting change. They were thin, curly, and served in a small metallic mesh basket. As for the taste, it was very good.

For the salad, this too appeared different to what I’m usually faced with. I believe the dressing was mustard, however I used one of the wine vinegar sachets to add to the taste. It was beautiful, thus why I’d recommend trying it out. It also included dried bacon strips, crunchy croutons, breaded chicken cut into slices, lovely shredded lettuce, and a very generous amount of parmesan pieces. All for the sole price of 11€! (21€ including the chicken).

This is a very lovely Italian restaurant with kind staff...

Arrived at 2150 to the restaurant and asked for a table for two and we were told they don't take seats anymore, but we can still order takeaway. I asked about the closing times and waiter said the kitchen is closing at 2200 but the whole restaurant at 2230. There were still people receiving food at that time, there were 3 tables occupied outside, and 1 bigger table inside. We still ordered takeaway and we ate it in front of the restaurant whilst there were still people sitting at tables in front of us. It was a bit strange, as I also work in hospitality and we never tell clients they can't sit, but let them know our closing times so they can decide if they wish to stay or not, especially with a a mostly empty restaurant. We finished our pizza in 15 minutes and the restaurant was still open by the time I took the pizza boxes back. ;( All I can say is... How weird and disconnected from reality was this experience?! Pizza was great. We had the gorgonzola and salami and the one with zucchini...

I am a long term resident my friend has only just moved here we went for lunch for my birthday the only staff there was at the bar on her phone shout hola as we walked in so we seated our selves it was a hot day found a table on the shade was a table for 4 there was only 6 other people seated after 10 mins the woman came and said how many we said just the two of us she said we would have to move to a table for two which was in the sun we didn't argue and moved she chucked two wood menu boards down in front of us walked off back to her phoned didn't ask if we wanted anything to drink as it was in th 30s c we were thirsty we looked at each other I asked do you really want to stay here with this sort of service my friend said no we got up and went to tomate further down where you could not fault the service or food so ended up a brilliant meal and a special day. No intention of going here again would not recommend to any one the food was better priced...
