Seafood cafe
4.8 (5)Los Gigantes10-20 €
The Golden Cod is a small casual seafood cafe on the Los Gigantes marina front, and the useful order signals are right in the name. Golden cod and the tuna sandwich get the clearest praise, while coffee and homemade cheesecake make it work as more than a quick fish stop.
Families get a strong service signal here: reviewers mention kind staff, including a server giving leftover bread so children could feed the fish in the harbour. Non-fish dishes are less reliable, with one burger review especially poor, so stick to the cod, tuna sandwich and cheesecake if you want the safest version of the place.

Really enjoyed the food. We had the golden cod and tried the tuna sandwich and both were awesome.
We also got coffees (mine was a Leche y Leche) and they were great. We tried one of their homemade cheesecakes and it was delicious.
In particular, Jose was wonderful with our kids. Give us some of the leftover bread to feed to the fish nearby in the harbor. This was a hit and we hope to visit again.

The food is totally okay. Like nothing to blow your mind but not bad either. We did not try the cheesecake which apparently was a mistake :/ The service was lowkey unfriendly and she kind of made a weird comment about our tip. Giving her service she should be happy we gave her a tip at all but whatever. The drinks were nice though.

This place is a joke. I ordered hamburger for 14€ and got a small, cold thing similar to MacDonald’s cheesburger. Cold, overcooked dry meat in small old bun. Piece of bacon and cold cheese. I had the impression it was heated in microwave. Fries were fine tho. Sangria was really watery. Tables were dirty, waitress did wipe it just before bringing food.
I was misled by the rating and expected more. Very disappointing visit.
Edit after owner response: I didn’t say I got small instead of big, I know you have one size. And this one size is comparable to McDonald’s cheesburger size. The price for what I got is a joke. As I said, small, dry and overcooked. And suspiciously cold for amazingly short waiting time.
