Today I went to El Refugio Restaurant for lunch with some friends, and overall it was good. The service from the waiters was excellent, the wait time was reasonable, and the atmosphere was lovely since we were on the outdoor terrace. As for the food, I've been there on other occasions and had better lunches. The sandwich seemed small, the pork loin and chicken breast sandwiches were sliced ​​quite thinly, and the lunch plate was tiny. The pig's snout wasn't bad... but nothing special. They do provide olives and peanuts, which is a nice touch. Coffee/carajillo (a Spanish coffee with brandy) is also included with lunch. So, all in all, it was good. They even gave us some complimentary shots. We'll definitely be back, as it's a place we visit often after doing some exercise in the Desierto de Las Palmas.

Food was nice and plenty, nice grilled meat. Just after leaving we realised we got charged extra for something - the bill was 10eu more than it should be according the menu. Probably miscommunication issue, but still it soured a mood a bit

Great place for lunch! Lunch menu for €7, which includes an appetizer (olives and peanuts) + soft drink + sandwich, or half a sandwich or portion + coffee (including a carajillo). Located on the way up to the Las Palmas desert, it has free dirt parking. It has an indoor dining room and a terrace. A wide variety of portions and sandwiches.

Best Paella I've ever had. Amazing.

We came on Saturday at 15.45 and the restaurant was closed (but google said it should be opened). Maybe, it was because of siesta? But there is no information about this in the overview about this place. We are not locals and were very disappointed.

AURORA DE LAS MORENAS

We ate a menu that cost €14.50 and they served us in fits and starts, but the worst thing was that everything was very dirty: the floor of the dining room, the bathroom, and a quantity of plates and glasses to wash that looked very bad. There was no room for anything on the entire bar. 😵‍💫

Overpriced mediocre food! It was my second and last time going to this restaurant. This time we got served by a very bad mood waitress. We asked for any vegetarian options and she looked at us and said: "we don't have anything"- raising her shoulders. No menu available. She had to tell us what was available and enthusiasm was not in order. Salad? I could make a better one at home for a fraction of the price. Gazpacho? Mercadona have better bottled ones. Fish? Was ok, but nothing more than just ok...for 22 euro? A joke! It's a pity - the place is beautiful. Get your things together and make something better out of it! As it is at the moment I would not recommend to anyone and I regret spending 150+ euro there.

Mi experiencia Sin filtro

Everything about this restaurant feels neglected. They serve glasses with a bit of frozen water and a lemon wedge that doesn't inspire much confidence. The bread is clearly frozen, the oil is tasteless, and the cold cuts don't look high-quality. Furthermore, the prices are surprisingly high for what they offer. It's a trendy spot, especially among those coming down from the mountains who don't have many other options nearby. It was surely an excellent place in the past, but today, for the price, one would expect fresh, carefully prepared food.

Unfortunately a very poor experience. The young man who waited on us read out the entries to fast to understand and was offended when we asked him to repeat his chant. It took him four repetitions to understand three simple drinks. The food when it came was very poor. Russian salads I could buy better in Lidl. Gazpacho terrible. A shared salad with minimal ingredients. Mains: fish tasteless and very poor chips and vegetables. One salad a miniature of the entry. A steak like the sole of a shoe and uneatable. I spoke to the owner and showed him our plates before they were cleared. He made no comment and when we were presented with the bill I should have refused it. After over 40 years we will not be returning. Very sad.
