Have you visited this restaurant. How was it?

How was the service, what was the food like?

Write a review to give others an idea of where to go on their jollies

[Pixie17]

Not sure if this place has been reviewed but I am here to put in my own thoughts.

What a fabulous place, wonderful setting, decor and seating beautiful, private tables in wigwams or covered cabanas.

Menu has a lovely selection of pastas and pizzas, and a delicious choice of starters. Portion sizes are more than adequate.

Staff were all very nice (and handsome :)) and the manager was extremely helpful and very knowledgable about the wine.

They also serve the most fabulous flavoured Mojitos, mango was my favourite. And the Sangria was yummy.

Great setting for any occasion, we were celebrating a birthday and I took cupcakes as a surprise for the birthday girl, the staff placed each cupcake on a chocolate decorated plate which I found was a lovely touch.

Can't wait to go back there, thanks Doreen and the staff.

It looks a fabulous place - whereabouts is it please? We would like to go there when we're over in October.

As always with Doreen it's the attention to detail - counts every time. Her apartments are superb. :)

Its by Salytien shopping centre, between Troya beach and the Gran Tinerfe hotel (casino)

If you know Playa de Troya, it is on the seafront between the Palm Beach Hotel and the Bingo (or the Casino a little further on). The road from Veronicas has recently been opened (not evident on the map): underground parking at Salytien CC about 100 m away

Thanks Pixie and Al Jay - so glad you enjoyed your visits to us ... and thanks too to Tenerife Magazine (http://www.tenerifemagazine.com/) who have just given us a lovely review

[imablue]

we have had some lovely reports about las terraza,s... and we cant wait to go there....when residents and tourists alike are saying nice things about a place..well time to go there i think ...

[slodgedad]

We had our first Mod meeting there, which has been discussed on the Forum as the way to go and I can honestly say the food and service were outstanding.

I haven't eaten better in the 17 years I've lived on this island. Everything is cooked to perfection.

Can't comment on the drinks as it was a meeting and we were all driving, but I was dribbling watching the other tables.

Thanks Doreen. Directions printed off and in our plane ticket folder!! I believe a taxi is in order for this venue as I intend sampling a few cocktails too :)

[couttsy]

Restaurant looks fantastic, however does it cater for children as well as adults or is it aiming at an adults only market?

I went for dinner yesterday evening with some friends to celebrate my birthday.

Fabulous location, fabulous food, excellent staff.

A totally unique experience. It is 'one of a kind'.

The attention to detail is second to none.

A lovely touch was that the staff were aware that it was my birthday and brought a large piece of gateaux for us to share after our meal, and sang 'happy birthday'

Last night was my second visit, with more to come.

The restaurant was very busy, but I wasn't aware of this until I looked closely. The staff are efficient and helpful, but not 'in your face'

This is how to organise and run a business

[Ecky Thump]

There are many ways to describe this restaurant, putting it simply would be "The Best".
We were there last week for a evening meal followed by a few cocktails, overall the meal was superb and the level of service was second to none! Pepe the manager appeared to go out of his way to be informative when he was describing the menu on offer, all the staff were attentive and friendly without being "in your face".
Our meal consisted of a selection of starters as it was difficult to make a choice from various mouth watering ones on offer, we both had a Sirloin Steak served with Seasonal Fresh Vegetables and New Potatoes, Carol had a Mushroom Sauce drizzled over her steak and I had a Red Wine Sauce, on my next visit which will be in September I will be trying the Gorgonzola Sauce with my steak.
This was followed by a Fresh Fruit Salad and Ice Cream.
Carol managed to drink a bottle of Pinot Grigio, which she assured me was perfect, where as I drank Buckler Beer.

If I was to score this restaurant in marks out of a hundred, it would have to be ONE HUNDRED AND ONE for Quality, Service and Value.
Not a Restaurant to be missed on a visit to Tenerife.

[MrsTT]

We had a most delicious lunch there today with one of the best steaks we have eaten in ages. lovely experience, super service.

All of those things I have to agree with, plus the one thing I forgot to mention was the wonderful situation to view the setting sun.:)

[DeedeeTipperary]

Well where do I begin? :) just back early this morning after a fantastic two week holiday in Tenerife ! We visited the Terraza del Mare several times during our holiday . The frozen cocktails are to die for ! I could have happily moved in for the whole two weeks and ate and drank on those comfortable sofas :drinking: We had a delicious meal there on my daughters 15th birthday , the food was scrumptious , and the Sangria was delish . On the rare night we didnt drop in for a cocktail my kids , and hubbie , would be giving out that they missed their yummy cocktails . The staff were very attentive , and we loved the bowl of nuts they served with the drinks. If we are lucky enough to return to Tenerife we will be back at the Terraza del Mare in a flash :cheers:

Fine on Firefox - I don't use Chrome for the Forum as download time is too slow here and doesn't pick up all the data.

[Muppet]

It is fine on Firefox yes, but the point is that new machines come installed with IE as standard - yes Geeks will play and experiment with things like Firefox, Chrome and others, but they dont come as standard, have to be downloaded and installed and many people are frightened to do this, which is why 70 odd percent of browsing is still done through IE, despite it's quirks.

When you author a website it is pretty much essential to ensure it is IE compatable, and capable of being read by other less widely used browsers, otherwise you miss out on ocean-loads of traffic.

oooohh I am drooling over your fantastic review and pictures Zara :) We also had an amazing culinary experience here on my daughters birthday . This place is simply to die for , I can not get back to Tenerife fast enough to try out more of the fantastic cocktails , thanks for sharing your review :)

Thanks for the great review Zara :)

La Terrazza del Mare – Playa de las Americas
Posted on August 18, 2011 by Red Queen's Musings

I hadn´t managed to meet up with my friend since her holiday in Italy and we decided that as she loves Italian food we would have pizza at Nancy Spain’s restaurant in Los Cristianos. At 4.00pm on the day we were due to go I learnt that said restaurant was having an Official Opening ‘bash’ and food would not be served after 8.00pm only nibbles and drinks. As we were not meeting until 8.00, a quick change of plan was needed. Ulla is vegetarian, she eats fish but sometimes when choosing a place to eat the menu can be quite limited and predictable.

I did a check on the internet and there appeared to be plenty of choice not only for our veggie friend but all of us on the menu at La Terrazza del Mare in Las Americas this included pastas, pizzas and fish as well as meat so I phoned to book a table.

When we arrived at just after 8.30, we were shown to a table set for six although there were only three of us. It was in a small gazebo or tented cabin set back from the sea and although it was next to the road all we could smell were the beautiful flowers close by. While one of us did not take long browsing the menu, others in our party could not decide what to have so that gave time to look around. I can see how many will find the setting of the Terrazza romantic especially with the sun setting over La Gomera. The restaurant itself is also a cut above some establishments in the area with its sophisticated and chic good looks.

Our server for the evening was Pepe; the manager who we learnt had just won a major competition in making cocktails. He is no stranger to this having won before and we had a joke about testing new recipes. We settled for just a basket of hot breads and spreads for starters along with sampling two of his ‘Virgin’ cocktails a Shirley Temple and Safe Sex and one with lots of alcohol that would not look out of place on the film set of Shrek while we decided what to have for mains.

After a lot of hemming and hawing we opted for the chicken with fresh vegetables for OH, Ulla chose the fettuccini with mushrooms and prawns and I finally settled for the tortellini with spinach and gorgonzola. Friend had a glass of house red, which she declared delicious, and OH and I, not being great drinkers had a couple of bottles of water.

As you can see from the photos, the food was flawlessly presented and having sampled from everyone’s plate I can say without hesitation each dish was delicious. OH finished off with a slice of what I think was called Pine Nut Cake – we did discuss what this contained and concluded it was marzipan. Rather yummy, but Ulla and I decided to forego pudding and sample Pepe’s winning cocktail. Well I decided to try it and once Ulla had tasted she was quick to order her own. A tasty combination of Tia Maria, Vanilla Vodka with a hint of chocolate cookies and other subtle flavours blended into a semi-frozen delight, which rounded the evening off nicely.

All of the staff were extremely attentive, even those who were not serving us checked to see if things were OK as they passed by our table. The restaurant was full as well as the bar area were people were meeting up for cocktails before moving on to the all night clubs. I would certainly recommend a visit to anyone looking for something different, upmarket and stylish. Even if you don´t want to eat, it is worth a visit for the views, the cocktails and the setting. If you do wish to eat, I think it is best to reserve a table, so as not to be disappointed.

You´ll love it have a great holiday! weather is perfect too!:D

[NikkiB]

Thanks..we always manage to have a fantastic holiday in Tenerife, and after the summer we've had in England I'm really in need of some decent weather :D

[Goforgold]

I'm looking forward to a few of those Choco Marias!!! :)

[anto3]

I would advice anyone getting married in tenerife to have there reception there. We are looking for friends of ours in Ireland and cannot find anywere that would beat trazza del mar. Would be great for wedding photos as it is on the beach.

Well, we went for lunch today, and all thoroughly enjoyed it. The venue is delightful - the seating areas are absolutely lovely, beautiful views, and everything is very clean and well kept (inc. the loos!) which is something very important in a restaurant which wants to be "a cut above the rest".

The wine list was excellent, and it was nice to see a selection of wines which is not just Spanish. Although I do like Spanish wine, I sometimes get tired of never being offered anything else out here. We chose the Argentinian Malbec, which was fabulous.

The quality of the food was extremely good, and very well presented. Congratulations to the Chef.

I had Risotto Parmigiana, which was delightful. One of my friends chose from the 9.95€ set lunch menu, and had tuna salad followed by spaghetti carbonara. Both portions were huge, beautifully presented, and represented amazing value.

The staff were absolutely lovely, very attentive, and nothing was too much trouble.

To finish we had cocktails, which again were amazing.

All in all, a superb venue for lunch. I will try it again, but probably at sunset next time, as I am sure the views are absolutely stunning at that time of day.

I would definitely recommend it to everyone as somewhere to try.

[Goforgold]

Well I sat here for 3 hours waiting!! :)

Seriously though, thanks for your revue - can't wait to try those cocktails!!

We visited 3 times during our last visit. The 1st time we just had a drink, the 2nd we had a beautiful evening meal and on the 3rd we went for lunch. Each time we went the service was fantastic. Pepe not only makes fantastic cocktails but he's also a wonderful host.
Both times that we ate we managed to order too much! After having the cheeseboard we just couldn't resist it the next time we went cos it's absolutely beautiful. Every item that was brought to our table was presented so wonderfully and tasted even better than it looked.
The restuarant is very tastefully appointed and makes the most of the wonderful views.
We had the best meal of our holiday here in the most wonderful setting. We'll definately be making a return visit next time we're over and we'll also tell all our friends to make sure they pay it a visit. :yum: :yum: :D

Thanks for the review NikkiB - last night I was looking at that fantastic webcam and then went on to chose several cocktails that I want to try. I will definitely try the cheeseboard after your recommendation. Thanks. :)

[obs]

Mmmmmmmmmmm cheeseboard :yum::yum:

Do they have port??

[golf birdie]

went here a few weeks back and forgot to write on here how good it is. Hats off to the place, really, really good. Great food, service, comfort, coffee and cocktails. If fault was to be found it was having card menus which look tatty after only a short while. I find it very hard to recommend places to eat to tourists but would not hesitate to recommend this place.

Anyone wishing to open a restaurant would do well to visit here and see how it should be done. Well done to all involved.

[Pixie17]

Yet again a fabulous night spent in this amazing restaurant. Huge thanks to Doreen and her lovely staff, we got spoilt rotten.

If you havn't been, then make it your next restaurant to visit :)

[West mids tyke]

hoping to visit this restaurant when we are out in november on most probably a thursday night, do you have to prebook a table, if so how can i do it, i will be in the playa area on the wednesday would it be possible to call and bopok a table then??? looking forward to visiting heard and read so many good reviews

[doreen]

There shouldn't be a problem getting a table on a Thursday, but anyone wanting to book a table can send me a pm with the details ... that way, there's a good chance of being asked to sample a free cocktail :)

[obs]

Now there's a good idea !! :idea:

[Ed3229]

Just the best ever.........Our food was fantastic and the staff are fantastic....They made my birthday and our wedding anniversary dinner special (We got married on my 40th birthday 6 years ago). Sorry we missed you Doreen will see you next year.

[emskie]

I took my mum for lunch last Friday and she was well impressed ( as was I!) we had the2 course daily special (9.95) and it was sooooooo good, we shared pizza and pasta beween 3 of us but couldnt finish all the pizza so they kindly let us take the rest home so even the kids were impressed!!

Once again Doreen, many thanks :)

[Goforgold]

The restaurant is just so unique in its style and in a prime position for dining overlooking that beautiful turquoise sea. It's the perfect place to go for a drink, lunchtime meal or dinner as it has different areas to chose from, depending on your mood and the occasion. Lovely private areas if you are feeling particularly romantic!!

We were passing one morning just as it was opening and stopped off for a nice cool drink and then one evening we called in for cocktails and sat relaxing in the very comfortable seating area. The staff are lovely and very attentive too. I am still wondering though how that pretty tall girl manages to walk in those very high heels :)

After reading all the rave reviews I was really looking forward to my meal here last Wednesday. We arrived 7.30ish and were seated beachside, the place is beautiful, we were presented with 3 breadrolls and garlic mayo but no side plates cutlery or napkins. We then sat and waited 20 minutes until I commented to my friend, not aggressively, that I was beginning to think no one was going to take our order. The waiter overhearing me, came over and took our wine order and food order, we both ordered the chicken. The friendly service seemed missing that night.
The wine was lovely, the vegetables accompanying the chicken were perfect but the chicken was a bit bland, it was also a leg and thigh, rather than a breast. I wont say I wont go again, I will, but will order something else, the pizzas looked fab. Unfortunately that night we both left feeling slightly disappointed.

I'm so sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience with us - it is unforgivable that you were left waiting so long ... I have copied your comments to all involved just now for an explanation and will write to you privately :)

I have IE Doreen and can't yet see a re-direction link- IE 8 is widely used as main browser for most people so I wonder if your technical guy is talking with his geek hat on:D
The only way I can look at your website is to change to Safari, have a look at webcam then back to my good old reliable IE.
A bit of a bind, can you twist his arm up his back??

Added after 4 minutes:

Cant seem to edit my post, so forgot to say we are looking forward to trying your restaurant - do you put your lunch time menu online at all?

[ddoyle]

First visit to Terrazza del Mare for lunch today it is wifes birthday today, food was lovely as was the coffee after lunch. Will certainly be back soon.
PS the Alioli was the best I have ever had so far in Tenerife.

[grumps]

Just like to say i took my fiance there for a "special" meal and was dissapointed. First impression..the menu was all tatty and dirty.A small child was allowed to run around the restaurant and swing on the poles ,i blame the parents as much as the staff, and to be honest the meal was average concidering what it cost.

I can only speak for myself, on the visits that I have been to La Terrazza del mare, I have found the choice of food and service to be above average for the area and indeed most parts of Tenerife, I would not class it as the "best" but it certainly stands out as being superior to the majority.
My friends have only last week returned from their first holiday on Tenerife and they are what maybe classed as "a bit fussy" and they were impressed by the restaurant, its food and choice of wines, they eat their on several occasions during their three week stay and only had one small criticism and that was, on one particular evening the service was a bit slow.

Cannot find fault with the food, Do agree about menu then again you do not eat the menu.Love there bread and they do proper dressing not like a lot of rubbish elsewhere. This place is so beautiful and worth a visit

[grumps]

Do agree about menu then again you do not eat the menu.

Did you eat the bread after handling it...?

[Loaded]

Only been once and everything was awesome, can't fault it. My only disappointment is that because of having a young family and no one to babysit we have not got round to going back! Soon I hope!

[Margaretta]

Lovely food, beautifully served and a very friendly, calm atmosphere. A magical place to enjoy a meal and watch the sun go down. Loved it!

[Leam_Lin]

Looking forward to going when we are over in January, any recommendations for main meal & yummy cocktails.

[fionamap]

great food and cocktails can't wait to go back again in feb

[West mids tyke]

its a bit late my review on an absolutely outstanding restaurant and attentive staff, myself and my other half went to la terraza del mare on 16th November after a day when we did the island tour i had wanted to treat my other half to something special just for being her and making me so happy, so after arranging times etc with doreen, we arrived at the restaurant by taxi, we were greeted by the PR at the front of house who took us inside where we were shown to what i thought would have been a table within the restaurant but yo and behold we were shown to our own private candlelit booth / stage area, i was absolutely gobsmaked because i have never experienced this in any restaurant we have visited, adrian the waiter came with the menus and wine list which we made our choices, we chose a bottle of pinot grigio white wine and lasagne for a main course and chocolate desserts for afters, all i can say about this restaurant is a big thank you to doreen and her excellent staff for making our night so romantic and special, i recommend this restaurant to anybody visiting tenerife, the prices are excellent and the standard of food is out of this world, also a big thank you to the PR guy that night for sorting us a taxi back into los cristianos.

[slodgedad]

OH's sister and hubby over last week and asked me for a recommendation.

We took them here and they haven't stopped talking about it.

Absolutely superb service, friendly (not too intrusive) staff and most importantly the food is cooked to perfection and presented beautifully.

At last I've scored a house point with my sister in law..

Highly recommended..:tiphat:

Have you got a disabled loo Doreen?

If my memory serves me right then yes there is.

We needed one last year when Carol was in a wheelchair after her stroke..

[fesdie]

Have you visited this restaurant. How was it?

How was the service, what was the food like?

Write a review to give others an idea of where to go on their jollies

We stumbled across this place on one of our trips and have never looked back since. Every visit the food has been superb, service attentive without over the top, setting is lovely, great atmosphere and is now our first stop when we visit.
Equally good for lunch and dinner.
Been too with our 10 yr old son and there was no problem, he highly recommends the meatballs.
The menu is refreshingly different from a lot of what is on offer in other places and the cheese board is to die for.
A definate must for anyone.

Must agree, and apart from the fantastic quality of the food nothing is too much trouble for the staff.

Refreshingly unusual compared to some.

As we are coming over next week we were wondering if any one been to the La Terrazza lately and if they have is it as good as it was in the past?

I used to like looking at their webcam but its not been working for a while!

We visited for cocktails twice while we were there in August and they were delicious as usual :trink: we didnt get a chance to eat there this time . There has been a little makeover near the bar , a few high tables and chairs along with the lovely comfy sofas . This is a gorgeous place well worth a visit or two ; )

Me my wife and my sister went 3 weeks ago and everything was very good this was on a Tuesday night and it was also nice and busy.
If any members are looking for a good meal and a nice quality bottle of wine with good service then this should be a must.

[Ecky Thump]

Over the last three weeks we had the pleasure of having a few meals at the Terrazza del mare and on all occasions had great service, food and hospitality, its a restaurant that you can visit with confidence knowing that you will get quality food at affordable prices, in a wonderful location overlooking the sea.

Don't leave without trying the Chocolate Mousse!!:yum:

Actually, I'm very much in the background as an Investor, so I am afraid we will not have the pleasure of our paths crossing this time. The staff know of both bookings (hopefully Torero will make him/herself ? known on arrival) and will look after you well. Enjoy :)

Hi Doreen,

I hope you are well?

Just to let you know we are returning to La Terrazza del Mare tonight following the extremely pleasant time we had last year- with some help from you ;) !

Hi,

We visited Terraza Del Mare, this amazing Italian restaurant in Tenerife a few months ago while were on holiday.

It was one of my favourite parts of the whole week. When we arrived in the restaurant, we were immediately made feel special and welcomed. The staff were amazing, especially Carmen and Alfonso who were serving us. The food was delicious and the restaurant was absolutely beautiful and so relaxing itself. We were also given a break between each course which was an excellent touch. Plenty of space between the exquisitely decorated tables. It was good value for money too. We watched the Tenerife sunset, while we enjoyed some wine.

I'd highly recommend this restaurant if you are visiting Tenerife. I can't wait to go again.

I have to agree entirely with what you have written, we first visited the restaurant a few years ago and now our holiday doesen't seem complete without a visit....which will be in "60" days time!:yum:

For anyone who haven't been to the Terrazza del Mare, have a look at this video of it that I found on utube and if anyone can tell me what the music is, I'll treat them to a drink at the restaurant.....I'm not sure that this offer should include doreen :-)

I've never been to this restaurant but I have heard it's lovely, and when I walk past when my work shift finishes it's always full, and I mean always, whereas other places in the vicinity are totally empty ... and the music is nice... shame about the big tv with football on LOL .... the only criticism I have is when I do morning shifts and walk past I notice the sofa covers need a bit of a clean (they are cream coloured) but i'm very OCD like that ... ack ack .... I would chose a darker colour LOL - I can't criticise further as I haven't eaten there ;) I may have to remedy that when the coffers are looking a bit healthier :D:wink2:

My wife and I were there in December for a meal and as usual the food was good, we particularly like the Tempura prawns. We find the service is a bit hit or miss............this time it was good:)

I hope you and your wife have a nice time.

One more thing, does anyone know the approximate taxi fare to the restaurant from central Los Cristianos?

The video below is worth watching, it will put you in the Tenerife mood!!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1otOzVKeeeo

[macdonald5]

Wee while since we've eaten there Ecky , was good so expect still up to standard
Taxi fares do vary, anything from 6 euros to 10 euros we've paid , dearer after 10 pm you probably know
