[tl2222]

Not seen it open yet. Can't believe they didn't build the new one first, before demolishing the old one. Loss of business for, what, 18 months? Agree it could look better but will no doubt have more character when furnished inside and out.

[Villan]

Looks fine. Hope it's a success.

You or the restaurant?

The wall decorations are up, but there are no tables and chairs in it at the moment, and the bar needs setting up.

OK guys I drove around Caleta this Morning looking for a friends apartment, which I found, but did not see this place, can someone give me a clue as to where it is?

On the beach over near the Gerriones Apartments, head over towards the Camels.

Fish Restaurant? Doesn't look like a fish to me 

[Brightspark]

I don't know, I actually think it looks alright, I guess though if you remember the old place and frequented it then you might struggle to appreciate the new building a bit more.

[ashworth]

It is a new building with a new kitchen which should make it easier to produce better food and a location right on the fabulous new beach. It will be so busy when it opens it will be untrue.

[Jamesy]

Is that the same as the "old white little place" in the roughly the same spot?

[Captain Sensible]

Yes, it is. The old building was compulsory purchased so the promenade could be completed.  The new building has been back from where the old building was.

It's still not open.

The menu used to be very simple. Fresh fish that they caught that day with cooked with or without garlic and Canarian potatoes with Mojo. They used to go around with a platter and you could choose your fish. It was simple, very traditional, and delicious. I wonder if the menu has changed?. I think that a more Rustic type of building would have been better but would love to see what the inside is like.

Missed chance looks like a lego house,  has very little character.  For me it should have floor to ceiling windows or by-fold doors with a out door seating area and maybe a roof terrace.  still the last place was made by the owner being a bit grumpy (well he was with me anyway).  Is it him who has still got it?

[Johnrgby2]

Anyone have  an update on this place?

[DaveW]

I understand they were moving furniture is a couple of weeks ago and according to the Caleta de Fuste site it is now open, hope to try it when we go back out in August and will report back.

[ashworth]

Up and running always busy when I go past in the day. Not eaten there yet but the food looks good with tables inside and out.

Most of the architecture in Fuerteventura is, concrete boxes, it just to blends in.

 

[Ivemovedon]

Not sure if the fish is good or not but one thing i do know is that expectations of restaurants in Fuerte are getting higher and higher. Could it be the Italian influence who stand for no nonsense?. Not only do punters expect value for money, the ambience has to add to the experience too. And why not?. If prices to the island are on the up due to the Middle East problems, people are entitled to expect value for their bucks. That looks like a wartime concrete bunker to me and wouldn't entice me in on looks alone. Recommendation is a different matter.

[erik_tonny]

Maybe the expectations are getting higher, but I regret to say that the quality is getting lower.
I am now refering to the tourist trap feeding stations that you find in Corralejo on the main street, music square, cobble street etc.
It seems that the mentality is changing and that the visitors are no longer regarded as guests who need to be pampered,
but as walking wallets who are there for the plucking.
A sad development but one which could be expected, as one sees the same worldwide wherever tourist business is booming.

[Ivemovedon]

Maybe you use the wrong ones

Example:  When I was holidaying on the West Coast of Florida a couple of years ago, almost every Restaurant served Sweet Potato Chips.
These a very high in nutrition, low in Starchy Carbs and double the Vitamin C of a normal potato, and so tasty. Also very cheap from Fran y Chemi Fruit & Veg Shop.

I've since found out that no Restaurants in Caleta do them, (so I'm told). The reason given is "tourists don't want to pay for anything fancy".
I love them and make my own, in fact, having them tonight with steak 

Tip: Buy the elongated ones with the orangey red inside, not the round bulbous ones, they're white inside.

We regularly have these with steak here in the UK🤣🤣🤣

I refer to my previous comment - 'It doesn't look much like a fish to me'

Maybe the American novelty building style should be tried?

Architecture and sociology critics a'plenty.  Food critics nary a one, it seems
