Hi,
Are all of the bars open in the main centre of Puerto Rico this year? I was there last year and half of them seemed to be closed.

Thanks

All the bars and restaurants are back and open again. Last year, a number were shut due to the power being switched off for what was supposed to be a week that turned into about 2 months!

Would suggest Bistro Salsa for lunch (and dinner if theyre open for it), El Brasero, which is up at the Europa Centre, facing over the hill. Red Rose in Puerto Base. Memphisto in the main puerto rico CC. El Gaitero in the CC above puerto base (Agua la Perra). Oscars over looking puerto escala. Depends alot on your folks budget and likes/dislikes.... Guantanamos in Tauro is nice to but a bit out the way.

went through the main centre and only Balcon was closed, apart from that everywhere is open

Hi Everyone,

My partner and I, (together with a periodically petulant 16 year-old lad), will be staying at the Vistaflor apartments for a week at the end of October.

Would appreciate any recommendations for restaurants - English, international & spanish cuisine. Any tips to keep Teen boredom at bay would also be welcome. Are there any go-kart/jeep safari places nearby?

Thanks in advance

American restauraunts in PDI/Maspalomas?

Is there anywhere in Maspalomas or PDI that does spare ribs and that sort of thing? :)
Reply
There is a HARD ROCK CAFE in PDI, (google it) and in EL GAUCHOS behind the big church near the kasbah they do the most amazing ribs.

anyone recommend any good family bars in maspolomas please, just need to be a bit carefull with strobe lighting ect... due to the 2yr old having epilepsy, as she went into a few wobblers so to speak last year in tenerife. we sit outside if possible, so if there is any goods ones with outside seating aswell, that will be great :tup

Visited Gran Canaria in November and we took a taxi to Meloneras which is really close to Maspalomas (only cost a few euro) There were some really nice restaurants down at the front with seating outside - sorry can't remember specific names. Give it a try - its a lovely place with nice shops too and it's a bit of a change from PDI or Maspalomas. Didn't appear to be strobe lighting etc when we visited but not sure if this might be different at height of season.

We stayed in the Colina Mar apartments up by Europa Centre and we tried a lot of the restaurants up there.

El Toro Negro-beautiful steak, very god service

Flicks-cracking brekkie and steak pie on Wednesday I think it was.

Gran Hong Kong-Lovely Chinese

Little Italy-Nice chicken and Lasagne (according to junior)

Lord Byron-great meals and service was fantastic

Garoe Restaurant Grill- Good value 3 course meal for 9.90 euros. We had Prawn Cocktail followed by grill chicken breast and ice cream. Service very good and the lady PR was lovely.

As far as bars go in the Europa Centre it has to be xtreeemzs. Russ is a 1st class lunatic. Makes everybody feel at home, even if you dont like football. Emma. Sarah and Charlotte keep the drink flowing. We had some great nights in there.

Three excellent places sampled in the last two weeks... Los Brasos, a Scandinavian steakhouse, opposite the Barbican apartments; Yellow Rose, a friendly, cosy litle Italian adjacent to the Chapparal centre, and the Tex-Mex at the Koka apartments. Concur, too, with the Hong Kong Chino mentioned above.
