OK, it has been open again since just before Christmas but I would just like to remind people on here for those that are not aware of this restaurant.
This is our 'goto' place when we want a nice meal, which is nearly every week at the moment.
Not the biggest menu choice, but usually go for the fillet steak anyway as it is fabulous.
They do excellent pasta as well.

I am still trying to understand the Canary ways, and I must admit—it is harder than I expected.
One thing: I am buying from Amazon Prime - EU vendors etc.
I am often asked for the paperwork, and my parcels stay for a month in Gran Canary.
Sometimes, they ask for custom tax (again, for EU products coming from the EU), and I usually pay a bit more than 25% of their value.
Is this legal? I understand there is a small VAT here (7%); it makes no sense why I need to pay so much tax.
Why is this happening, are the residents here happy with this?
Where is this Money going? (25% tax for most products consumed on the island is a huge, huge amount)
