Can you give me exact directions and what are the prices like? Is it worth the drive from the South? | | | 3rd September 2007, 17:43 | #2 (permalink) | | Regular Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Tenerife, Canary Islands Gender: Posts: 78 | Quote: Originally Posted by MC34 Has anyone been to the Monasterio outside Purto de la Cruz?

Just outside Los Realejos, following La Montaņeta road.

Went there to celebrate my mum's 70th, nephews 16th & sons 13th, for dinner - I ate very little of it then threw up for Britain...  Went back about 6 months later for Sunday brunch - it was wonderful and very reasonable (28euros for 2 of us, inc more food than we could eat & champagne!!). We were lucky and got a window seat - views to die for. It was full of very smart & sassy looking Spaniards. Highly recommended, but either book in advance, or be prepared to wait, if you want a much revered window spot. __________________ Max x | | | 3rd September 2007, 18:39 | #4 (permalink) | | Regular Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Tenerife, Canary Islands Gender: Posts: 78 | Quote: Originally Posted by MaxineC Wasn't particularly impressed with the main evening restaurant.

That's the restaurant facing the ocean, and where I had brunch with mimosas as well. Btw, for those who had not been there, there are few theme restaurants in the Monasterio premises such as seafood, red meats, tapas, cafe-bistro, etc... Cheers. __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

We had apetiser, 4 salads with a bottle of white wine , the 2 woman had a fish plate my friend a Big T-boon, and I had a paleta de cordero (sheep sholder). After that we had a dessert (tiramisu) and coffee. We also had two bottles of red wine. So not expensive at all . You can visit the kitchens to see how they prepare and they are not affreight to show the kitchens are VERY CLEAN !!!! The gardens arround the building of the ex-monatery is very nice. Is not so easy to find , better go a little moment earlyer than needed to be at the just time for your meal. We are going every time, and we are not afreight to invite friend to join us !! __________________ Albert Leroy Botanist , specialised in Canarian succulents have a look at To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.
