Agreed here, also suprisingly inexpensive for a coffee and cake around 3 euros.

I know PDC really well, but nothing of Arrecife.......

Is this place a real restaurant? And family friendlly? Would love to dine out with the kids over the New Year.

Agreed the photo is fantastic, looks like a great place.

Yes its the restaurant on the 17th floor of the gran hotel in Arricife you cant miss it its the only high rise on Lanza. I have only been for coffee and cake and its very reasonable. If you go new year I would check the menus, prices, availabily etc but it is a stunning place to dine.

Great Photo,

YM, the wife and I walked there from PDC along the coast route and it's about 8/9 miles I would say, there are a couple of places to stop for tapas and beers in Playa Honda and you get some great shots/views from the hotel. You should put it on your to do list for next time. it's 2/2.5€ for a beer at the top

Have to admit we ended up gretting the bus back ! :D .............just across the road

Happy Holidays
Danny

Danny/Ray,

Great stuff, this is definitely on my list for New Year, as well as an afternoon beer I would like to go for an evening meal. Got a look of the Cloud 23 Bar (you might know it Danny) in Manchester (without the rain!)

The family wants to have a meal outside of the new/old towns when we go - this looks perfect!

Cheers guys

Yes YM,
Reminds me a bit of Cloud 23 mate, but not as high and NO WHERE near as expensive !!!!! :D :D :D

A taxi there and back would be around 20€


Happy Holidays
Danny

FYI - This is a cafe where you can get a sandwich (if there's a chef available as there wasn't last time I went!), cake, and drinks. There's a restaurant on the opposite side (same floor) but it's not cheap. Main courses were in the region of 15-20 euro's and starters 5-8 if I remember rightly. There's some cracking restaurants nearby the Gran though.

The first time I went past there in 1989 the building was an absolute wreck. It looked like something from Beirut after the civil war.

The tale I was told was that the locals wrecked and set fire to the building as it had broken the then very strict building regulations.

It was like that for years, it used to be the first thing you could see as you landed. I heard the same story at the time.
