“ Food was delicious - couldn’t believe it. Looks nothing from the outside. Best meal on the island. ”
“ Very cosy dinner place in the mountains with nice food. It was quiet. The food was a bit pricey and the playlist a bit scary. But it is very convinient if you are staying in the hotel, and the breakfast is amazing with many items. ”
“ Maybe it was because I was hiking all day but this might have been the best meal I’ve ever eaten ”
“ The atmosphere was very nice. Cosy and with music. They put heaters next to the table, so you are comfortable while eating. The owners and waitress were very friendly. We had a few days breakfast at Tajinaste del Refugio and the food was very tasty. ”
“ I had dinner menu: quiche, seafood crepes and chocolate cake. Good red wine. And it all in amazing old-rural style interior with a lot of wood and old furniture... Nice place in Cruz de Tejeda with a character. ”
“ Don’t let the slightly grumpy service put you off, it’s just the authentic French experience . We really quite enjoyed the food from the small menu, both dinner and breakfast. Good quality and tasty. The wine (€3.50) was also really nice. Dinner discount for hotel guests. ”
“ Arrived in Cruz de Tejeda after a long day of walking through the Camino de Santiago, we were exhausted and hungry and needed a take away meal. That's when, thankfully, we found this place, a beam of hope for us. The guy that served us was so sweet and so kind, he translated and wrote the menu (originally written in Spanish) for us in a little blackboard, then even met our needs by giving us the meal to take away even though they don't usually do that. As italians, we ordered Meat Lasagne, and those really went far beyond our expectations, what a delicious dinner! Tasty and flavourful, 100% recommended. Man I don't know your name but, THANK YOU, appreciated everything. ”
