I visited Las Olivas after reading they offered a nice full english breakfast but I was displeased to find that their menu description of their full English breakfast was fiction compared to what I was presented with a good fifteen minutes after ordering. No sausages, no beans, just egg, bacon a slice of tomato and a tiny slice of toast... More

We chose to sit down here for lunch. The waiter was kind enough to help us choose a pasta dish for each of us and we were all satisfied. The best was with walnuts and gorgonzola sauce. For dessert we tried panna cotta, but that was not as impressive. Clearly not home made and a bit chewy.

I had fish soup, which was quite watery, not very hot, & contained many shells but not many shellfish (!). My wife had fried aubergines. We are used to this dish from our local Greek restaurant, where they just melt in the mouth. This did not happen in this case.

This place has a good location (at the Las Canteras Beach in Las Palmas) and friendly staff, but the good news stops here. The three course menu is the worst food experience we'we ever had! It was so horrible that we only managed to have a few bites out of pure politeness. When the dessert came to the table, we... More

We´re sorry to say that we don't know where do you eat, because it wasn't in La Oliva. The menu you ate doesn't match with the menu of the day of La Oliva not this week and not the last or even any week... This week (11-15 feb-2013) we have a soup but a fish one, and we don't have... More

Ranked 26 of 325 restaurants, that should indicate there are 299 worse than this one. I dont think so! Trading on its position overlooking Las Canteras Beach, and looking promising from the front. Service was non existant, food really quite poor, menu descriptions imaginative, but inaccuurate. I popped in for a cheap lunch, and had the worst restaurant experience for... More

Sat down in comfortable chairs in the sun and watched life on the Las Canteras beach while we had excellent calamare and a bottle of good white house wine. The service was fast, friendly and helpful. Nothing to complain about here! We will certainly come back another time.

This is a great place to eat if you want to try Canarian food! Try the deep fried Calamari, the russian salad, the mojo potatoes, the 'queso del tierno' (local cheese) salad, the aubergene with honey....I could go on and on......!!! Good service too!!

Had several great cups of coffee here and a few meals but they were abut hit and miss possibly my own choices as the place is packed all of the time. Prices very good and staff lovely. Would say go and enjoy particularly if you are fussy about your coffee!

Me and my boyfriend went because it was near our hotel! But the food was too simple! At the same time, it is a good price!
