Maristel Bistro - Estellencs

Bones dress, molt bon menjar i personal molt friendly.

The deal was very correct, but the food gave us nothing.

Very good food and super friendly staff! highly recommended!

The anchovy toast starter is too basic, just bread with one anchovy for 10€. The hake in green sauce was too small and dry. The alioli had a different taste and pink color, and we had to pay for it without ordering it. Service was good and quick but we expected more from the food.

The photos make it look like it’s a stand alone rural property with amazing sea views, but it’s actually it’s on the Main Street and the terrace and buildings across the road block most of the views. The menu was minimal. We had an entrecôte and tajine because paella was only for two people and only one of us wanted it, I believe paella is the speciality. It other reviews gave the impression that it was this wow wow fancy and different bistro with unique cuisine. No doubt that the food was fresh and the ingredients were of a good quality (better than most in small villages) but it was the standard paella, entrecôte, pluma and chicken. The dessert I wanted was sold out and the desserts we ended up with were not very nice by our taste, quark cake was like very cold porridge and the brownie cold, hard and very sweet…. Not my style but most cakes and desserts on this island are terrible so we expected that…. Reviews got us again! The waiter also got frustrated with me because I struggled with Spanish to explain and wanted to ask questions about the menu. We also called the hotel ahead of time to as if we could bring our dog to which we were told no, looking at the terrace I am sure it actually would have been fine and I am sure misunderstanding. The owner and the female waitress were very nice, and the service manager or chef we spoke to also. We were quite disappointed to have mad a special hour trip to eat here on a special day for ourselves, we were expecting more based on reviews which is unfortunate for all. I’m sure if you’re staying in town it’s probably one of the better eateries available with the limited choices.
