El Oriental - Puerto de la Cruz

Alhough our reservation was made a week in advance, we felt anything but welcome. Arrogant and unprofessional guest reception. Food very average and downgraded, once again. What used to be a fabulous dining experience some twenty years ago, is just a memory nowadays, thanks to regular downgrading.

We were looking forward to eating at this restaurant but were harassed by the waiter who kept saying that a big party was arriving and we'd have to eat quickly and leave. The portions were small but tasty.

Wonderful ambience, extremely polite service. Everyone spoke perfect English which is not the case with many restaurants in town. The service was a bit slow as other people mention but we did not mind. I had a curry with coconut and peanut butter which was the best I ever had. My husband on the other hand did not like his dish which was a roasted duck with a tamarind sauce. The mango ice cream was excellent. Prices are a bit high compared to other restaurants in the area but the restaurant is part of a high profile hotel. Overall it was worth the visit!

Enjoyed our meal here decent thai food with very good quality meat. Smallish portions and highish prices.

Really enjoyed our meal here. The ambience is great and staff were lovely. The food we had was delicious we tried two different duck dishes) and the tangerine sorbet was a perfect finish!
