Restaurante Guannabí

Highly recommended, I'll be back for sure. The quality of the food is noticeable, the croquettes tasted great and our favourite plate of food, the meat. Dessert was a delicious cheesecake. We ordered following the recommendations of the staff, who were always very helpful and attentive. The place is beautiful and very good value for money.

The food is mediocre. We were four people and nobody finished his dish. Chipirones were burnt and therefore very bitter. 8 euros for bread which wasn’t even fresh is a robbery 🙈 we left the place feeling like we wasted our money for nothing. Definitely not recommended

Extremely disappointing experience. The food was mediocre at best. The fish was overcooked and lacked flavor. What was most disappointing, however, was the service. The waiter was rude and clearly annoyed. We don’t speak Spanish, and it felt like he simply refused to try to understand us. He made irritated facial expressions whenever he came to our table and seemed bothered that we were even there trying to enjoy dinner. I want to make clear that we completely understand that staff may not speak English, and that is not something we expect. However, a little patience, kindness and mutual understanding would have gone a long way. I would definitely not recommend this place — not for the food, and certainly not for the service.

Restaurant Guannabí serves traditional food prepared in its own unique style. Here, I had the best croquettes made from cured ham in my life. I also recommend trying the Caesar salad flavored with Dijon mustard. The environment is peaceful, free from cars. Inside, the restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Very nice restaurant. The service was nice and attentive. Steak was very delicious, although you receive it after a short time on the grill so if you like the steak less bloody then you get a hot stone plate to finish the steak to your liking.

Had this place recommended to me by friends and several guide books / articles on the island. My experience did not live up to the hype in the slightest. Having now tried several other restaurants on the island, I’m convinced the place must pay for articles to recommend them. The food was fine - nothing wrong with us but pretty basic and bland. Particularly disappointing was the service. My partner and I speak very little Spanish but we tried our best to order in Spanish. The waiter was extremely rude. Ignored us several times, deliberately looked away as we ordered, and it felt like he made a deliberate effort not to understand any of our questions just to not have to answer us. Shame on you for treating paying clients like this, if you read my review you should consider a new profession handing out parking tickets as that will more closely match the attitude you gave us. The general restaurant staff was not nice either. We showed us 10 minutes early for our reservation and they refused to seat us (more than half of restaurant was empty still) and when we came back at the time of our booking they made a fuss that our table was not ready so we should come back again in 15 minutes this time. When we did, they sat us at a table that had been empty since we first stopped by 25 mins before that.

Gorgeous and delicious restaurant in a beautiful spot of Santa Cruz. Stopped in without a reservation and they were able to serve us, which we appreciated. I see some reviews regarding the staff - the workers definitely have been the least fluent in English during our time here, yes. But, if you’re visiting a Spanish country, don’t expect people to cater to you. They were still friendly and did their best, as did we. They provided an English menu and we used translate. The food…amazing. The ham croquettes were phenomenal, the Canarian potatoes don’t look the prettiest but come with two amazing sauces, the pork shoulder and ceviche were both wonderful, but the star of the show? The goat cheese salad. Wow. Best salad we have ever had. The atmosphere is just so gorgeous - it’s the best looking restaurant there, in our opinion. You’ll definitely enjoy eating here. Highly recommend.

Nice environment, great food and nice people working here. Pedro is very helpful and nice, the restaurant is English speaking friendly as well! 5 star recommend!
