Restaurant Recommendation

[Shez]

Can anyone recommend a good restaurant in the main square for adults and a teenager (quite fussy!) please?

 

[supamac]

Casa Vila never disappoints and there is also Osteria - both medium to high end. Enjoy!

 

[Shez]

Thanks for your reply

I've had a look at their menus online and they certainly do look good

Centric - just off the square by O'Hara's

 

[Disorderly]

Of those three I'd pick Osteria every time. Centric overbook and then the service declines. Suffered poor service there twice.....won't be doing it again.

Personally, with a teenager in tow - and which teenager isn't fussy?! - I'd go for Casa Vila, who do fab pizza and pasta, and which teenager doesn't like pizza?!!

Centric for me.
Give the teen a ten euro note and point him / her in the direction of a kebab house and go and enjoy some lovely food in Centric.

My kids and ALL their friends go for Nicos (just off the square) best burgers and Tex Mex and has been since I have been going to PP for nearly 30 years.....

Nicos

OMG now I feel old. I remember when Nico's premises were Cervezeria Bristol.

I agree with Disorderly's comment about overbooking at Centric. It is a pity because the food is good. I suppose the need to earn a year's income in 6 months is an irresistible temptation to cram people in.

Have to say we have always had great service at Centric.

I would go for Centric. Food is great and service is always very good

Any of the three mentioned - casa vila, Centric or Osteria would get my recommendation and PLEASE why do people insist that teenagers need to go to the kebab house or just choose pizza or pasta ..... none of the teens in our family have limited themselves to such .... we never expected them to eat anything different to ourselves and they never did

Personally, I wouldn't bother with Centric....food ok, but the service is either slightly incompetent, slow(and I normally love slow), or stupidly condescending, i.e. treating a group of slightly older ladies, who are smart ,intelligent and fun, as if they were senile old dodderers..... I object to being called sweetheart and darling by a very young waitress! Rant done����. Just as well we all have different tastes!

At my time of life I would love to be called sweetheart or darling even though I am male and would pay many pounds. Enjoy it while you can it's later than you think.

Strange how being called something upsets people. I have to say I'm not keen on being called darling or sweetheart by someone I don't know but it wouldn't stop me going to a restaurant if I enjoyed the food ( which I do at Centric). What is a bugbear for me,which I've noticed more and more over the last couple of years, is that a lot of restaurant staff now use the term 'Lady' instead of 'Señora'. I find that term really uncomfortable and odd! Would rather be called darling I think

Can you elaborate on your experience at Casa Vila as I've always had wonderful service and food?

5 of us turned up for an 8.30 booking to be told there was no table for us & that we were an hour late, my friend insisted he look at the booking after dispute our name was clearly in there for 8.30 we were early,then grudgingly he found a table inside.
After a 68 minute wait for mains ,4 out of 5 sent back because they were cold, 1 dish was sent back a third time.
The Hake with shrimps was like eating the soles off my dads carpet slippers,the tomatoe sauce over the top was the exact same over 3 different dishes.
I am being really kind here I could go on but it was a truly dreadful meal & yes we did complain but it fell on deaf ears.

Think we are going off topic here. The original post was where to dine with a teenager around the square. Most replies have been around preferred adult restaurants. I stand by my original post, take the youngsters to Nicos where the food is good and they will have a good time

I would agree with Nicos. We had a lovely evening here at Easter.
the food was excellent for all ages , we were between 15 and 80 years of age and we had a great night.

Staff very good at what they do, consistently good food over the years, also excellent value for money.
We didn't play the pinball but we did play a few games of pool with good coffees after .
