    Tripadvisor restaurant reviews

    Just been on holiday and visited four of the top rated (5*) restaurants in the resort. All pretty bad.
    • #1 spot was an Indian, and this was the worst. Samosas and bhajis like nothing I've had before, and not in a good way. Prawns in a curry all mushy and tasteless. The only thing that was vaguely edible was the naan bread.
    • Burgers in the supposedly top burger joint were tasteless and had a strange chewy consistency.
    • The best steak house was equally disappointing. I've had better (non-finest) steak from Tesco.
    • Pastries in the best cafe/teashop were mediocre.
    Shan't be trusting TA reviews ever again.
    Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

    I have never, ever used Trip Advisor for restaurants.

    I tend to Google reviews.

        Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

          The problem is that your destination was rated 1 star.
          Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                Maybe stick with the local cuisine instead of going to the Brits Abroad type places.

                  When we first started going over 20 years ago, most of the restaurants in the resort were local type cuisine but they've all gone now. Next time we go we might see what the food's like away from the tourist areas.

                    Seems like this would be better posted as a TA review, or maybe on mumset.
