“ The place is very cute and clean. Food very good and staff helpful and welcoming. We ordered avocado with shrimps and mix grilled fish and sea food, was very good. If youre coming in late afternoon you're gonna enjoy it. Place very recommend. Edited: We came back one day very late for lunch, around 16:00 and we decided to try the roasted chicken, just how we wanted, crispy and tasty. They served it along with some veggies and fries as well. It looks like whatever you're gonna order here is gonna be good. ”
“ Service was great. Food was faultless and all served in good time. We had smoked salmon, smoked salmon salad La Barca and garlic bread. All ingredients were fresh and tasty. For. Mains we had Canaria style tuna with Canarian potatos, sirloin steak with mushroom sauce and grilled vegetables and a Lasagne. Again, all meals were fresh and extremely good quality and taste. The view right next to Las Vistas beach at sunset was an added bonus. ”
“ The paella was very tasty, I really enjoyed it. However the shrimp was quite dry, it looked like it was defrosted. The black rice was very good, and my partner also liked the ceaser salad, saying the lettuce felt very fresh and crispy. The restaurant is nicely decorated and seating right on top of the beach. Nevertheless for the price you pay, you would expect the toilet to have at least a toilet seat, which the men toilet didn't have. Above avg. Price per person around 30€/pp ”
“ We visited twice whilst in Tenerife. It's such a lovely place. The food was amazing, the garlic prawns were delicious, and the canarian potatoes were the best I had during our stay. Sole and sardines and a four cheese pizza for our main course, all of which were delicious. The cheese on the pizza had a really strong flavour, but I still enjoyed it. We had ice cream to finish. The staff are really pleasant and attentive. Service is really fast, our food came out in no time at all. Beautiful food in beautiful surroundings with a lovely view of the beach. I would definitely recommend La Barca to everyone as it's really worth a visit. ”
“ We came for drinks and returned late afternoon to eat. Yes, the waiting staff aren't in your face friendly but they are professional. The food is excellent. You can tell that they take great pride in their dishes. We enjoyed grilled octopus, padron peppers, garlic prawns, canarian potatoes with mojo sauce and a Spanish sauvignon. Quality is superb so we will be back. Come and find this place. ”
