Odwiedziliśmy La Taverna, korzystając z oferty hotelu TUI Blue Orquidea, która w ramach opcji All Inclusive pozwala na jedną darmową kolację w tej restauracji. To była świetna okazja, by spróbować autentycznej kuchni kanaryjskiej w kameralnej atmosferze, z dala od głównej hotelowej bufetowej restauracji. Jedzenie było świeże i pyszne, a obsługa bardzo serdeczna. Zdecydowanie polecam ten wybór każdemu, kto zatrzymał się w Orquidea.

The food was cooked beautifully. Tapas sharing selection was great, despite myself not being a fish lover. Lovely vista to the right-hand side in the day, but we dined at night, so unfortunately, it was not overly visible. Love music and a large selection of local and international wines. I found the staff to be very attentive and reliable.

I got my steak medium rare and this place actually got it The Crème Brûlée Cake is the only reason why the food is 4 out of 5 cause it didnt feel burned enough, so there werent the correct kind of crust Live music on point

We had a fantastic evening meal to celebrate a birthday. The food was delicious and service was great. It was smy dad's birthday and they made a lot of effort - decorating the table and bringing out cake while the singer sang happy birthday. Thank you Adolfo and team!
