If you show up for dinner at 8 - 8:30 pm the place is really busy and it takes some time until they take your order bur the staff is really engaged and they manage a lot of tables so waiting time is up to 45 minutes but: food is delicious, pizza is great out of the wood burned oven and service is nice and attentive. Great coffee too and still reasonable prices.

Very good. We weren't sure what to expect, we'd walked past the night before, and it was quiet. But the staff at the campsite said that the food was good and the service was friendly. They were right. A warm, friendly welcome. We werent kept waiting, we were shown to our table and menus arrived promptly. Our drink order, a bottle of rosé, was taken swiftly and our wine along with a small plate of cold meats and olives followed. We both ordered the lamb. Thankfully we didn't order anything to go with our lamb as a sizeable plate arrived, including 4 good sized lamb cutlets, salad, fries and roasted peppers. All well cooked and served piping hot.we thorough enjoyed our meal, which we followed with a coffee. No deserts for us on this occasion as our mains were so filling. So we've given Don Quijote five stars based on the service, the price & of course the value for money. We paid less than £36 for our evening meal. The staff were also very polite, friendly and accompanied our service with a smile. The atmosphere was very relaxed plus the pizza wood fired oven really added to the atmosphere. Not posh, no frills dining. Level 10 Google reviewer with over 1,200 reviews with 2 million views plus 14,000 photos with more than 60 million views and still going strong . My reviews aren't sponsored, they're based on mine, and often my wife's experience at an establishment whether that be a shop, restaurant, service or activity, with the aim of highlighting great service plus areas for improvement, if necessary. And boy sometimes it is necessary. Check out my other reviews

We have been coming here for a number of years as we stay at Les Medes campsite. The food is always fantastic, well presented and reasonably priced. We have a pizza and a tuna salad, and share half of each as the portion sizes are generous. The salad is very fresh and the pizza is enhanced by the wood fired oven. They also bring some salami and olives for you to nibble on. The service is good and always with a smile. There is nothing to dislike here, you will only be disappointed if you don't pay them a visit. We will return

Good value, great food. What more do you want from a restaurant. Pizzas cooked in a log oven are superb.

Lunch from the menu of the day. Was it good? No, it was fabulous!! One of the best meals we have eaten and for very little cost. If we lived here we would be in here many times a week. Just the best, cannot recommend it highly enough
