European Restaurants

Located on the shores of Playa Paraíso in Tenerife is H10 Atlantic Sunset Horizons Collection - a luxurious five star resort that offers an array of amenities including multiple swimming pools and diverse dining options catering to all tastes. You can also indulge yourself at Despacio Spa Centre or take advantage of exclusive privileges like Privilege Rooms & Services.

This is my review of a meal at the The View - Privilege Restaurant & Lounge.

For starters: Salmon and Octopus Tempura.

The salmon was nicely presented and served with a beetroot pickle which was unusual. Soft and tasty.
The Octopus was a chewy and over cooked. Octopus needs to be soft to enjoy fully and nibble on the tentacles...
However, lovely ambience and great service.

A lovely full bodied Cabinet Sauvignon from Spain
..deep red and bursting with cherries with some notes of chocolate...

MAINS

The Moroccan lamb chops were very soft and full of tagine flavours served with couscous...tasty!

Sirloin steak was under cooked and had to be sent back....let's see when it returns.

Much better and medium as ordered.
Tasted very soft...although a Sirloin, it was as soft as a Fillet. Cooked perfectly and plentiful. Just make sure you order how you like a steak.
Great with the Cabinet Savignon.
As good as a Steak house.

Miso covered cod infused with Thai essences.
This dish is amazing....
cooked to perfection and melts in your mouth. Sauce had an essence of Thai added to enhance the taste.

Cream caramel with ginger ice cream. Sensational....if you like ginger you will adore this desert...unusual and with a kick.
And the Mains menu:

The restaurant offers both traditional and more contempory Italian cuisine. Their meat, fish and chicken provides a wide, but carefully chosen, selection to present authentic Italian cuisine.

Crab and prawns starter...expensive at £12.95. Big portions and rather basic taste, as you would expect as it is hidden by the rose Marie sauce... not worth it in my opinion.

Fish was perfectly cooked: lemon sole in a lemon and butter sauce... let down as it was supposed to be accompanied by creamed spinach but turned out to be warm broccoli and potatoes.

Always difficult to order fish in a restaurant.

Champneys Forest Mere

Liphook, Hampshire

December 2023

Champneys is a lakeside Spa Resort in Liphook set in 160 acres of woodland and greenery.

Starter - Cheese Souffle which was really light and fluffy. Needed a bit more seasoning & cheese but healthy.

Fillet Steak- sadly poor presentation and dry. No jus and served with potato wedges which added to the dryness and bland taste.

It is a health spa but could do with a bit more taste in the dining.

Revisited

January 2024

The Veggie Burger was amazing... tasted like real meat cooked to perfection.

What a surprise and the best burger I've had which is healthy.... a must try!

To finish - cheese cake and ice cream ...

Not so healthy!
