A woman has shared her honest verdict after trying a three-course meal in the middle of Tenerife, as the price left her floored.
Caitlin Camp, from Manchester, often takes to her social media pages to document and share her life in Tenerife, after having moved there from the UK with her husband, Mattie, and daughter. After living on the Canary Islands for a few years, the family-of-three often shares snippets of their life, including things to do in Tenerife and what life is like as business owners, owning multiple jewellery stores.
In one video, the family brought a friend to try a three-course meal from a restaurant that often goes viral on social media, due to how cheap it is.
“We’re in Tenerife, and we’re on the hunt for the three-course for a tenner menu,” Caitlin said at the start of the video.
As they arrived at the restaurant, called the Savoy, they noticed the offer was in fact €12.95 (£11) for a three-course meal, as she went on to show off the extensive menu available to read outside the restaurant.
“Oh, yum. There’s actually a few things I can see already,” she said as she was reading through the menu.
Meanwhile, Mattie said he’d been looking at the Chinese side of the menu, which was a three-course oriental meal for €12.95 (£11), including a starter, a main with a noodle or rice dish, as well as a dessert.
For their starter, she and her friend opted for some garlic bread, while the man ordered the hot and spicy soup from the Oriental menu. The two women then also got Spaghetti Bolognese for their mains, while Mattie opted for egg fried rice with a curry-like dish to go with it.
After taking a bite, Caitlin said: “First impressions? It’s not terrible. It’s very much you get what you pay for.”
As they got their food, she also shared the kids meal for had come with a main, with her opting for a pizza for her daughter, as well as ice cream for dessert.
Meanwhile, the adults ordered chocolate cake, cheesecake, and ice cream for their desserts. Taking a bite from his cheesecake, Mattie said: “It’s something. It’s not cold. I thought it was gonna be cold. And it’s lukewarm.”
The chocolate cake wasn’t a hit for Caitlin either, as she took a bite and soon declared: “No, this isn’t for me. I’m not a fan of this.”
In total, for the three three-course meals and a kids meal, as well as their drinks, their dinner outing came to €72.87 (£61.97).
Despite the mixed reviews of the food, several people soon took to the comment section to share their thoughts, with one person saying: “Went there last year was €10.95 I think gone up a bit, 3 course for €12 is an absolute steal. And the foods not even that bad.”
“We always come here whenever we come to Tenerife. The food is okay and the staff are lovely,” a second person said, while a third viewer wrote: “Been loads of time cheap and well worth it.”
Someone else said: “The Chinese meal looked way better than the Bolognese.”
