Tango/Trio

[rioja]

Glad to hear Tango moving back to the port proper (the Trio site I believe) lots of people didn't go because the present sites a bit of a hike without a car and a taxi bumps the price up.great restaurant

 

[mwc]

Yes, I knew they have been thinking about it for a while due to the overheads of being were they are at the moment, though I for one will be gutted not to sit next to that window looking out over the sea & mountains . I would gladly pay the 5 euros taxi fare just for the view never mind everything else.

Does this mean that Trio is going to shut or just move?

 

[KWUK2]

That's the best news I've heard in a long time. Please tell us more. Is it definite? When will it happen? What will happen to Trios? etc, etc.

 

[Sparky]

Yes it is going to happen later this year, i was told by a family member that the owners of Trio are retiring so Manolo and family will be taking over the building .

 

[tangofan]

Well this is both good and bad news! Brilliant that Tango are moving back but sad that Trio will be no longerl

 

[Rosie34]

Nooooooooooooooooooo Please don't say that Trio is going the same way as all our other favourite restaurants - it's without the best value and food and service with a smile in the port - bar none. (and believe me we have tried most of them) Why is that all our favourite eating places bite the dust - I am so angry

 

[Sparky]

Rosie please don't be angry, from what i have been told the owners of Trio have decided that the time has come for them to retire, although i don't know them i understand that they have reached an age when they just want to be able to enjoy a few years of relaxation. Lets be honest isn't that what everyone looks forward to after years of hard work.

As Jose (Bonys) says ...."not forever" .

So sad to hear that Trio will be closing and that Tango will be moving....again!!
It will be nice however to have Tango back in the centre of the port again tho. Any idea when this is happening Sparky, as we are not out until October and would normally visit both while we are there.

So trio is going and tango is moving back to the port. There you go, one door closes and another one opens.

I totally agree Sparky - and they do deserve to enjoy their retirement after so many years of running a successful and popular business - and they are such nice people - I think the lady is Scottish but cant remember her name. She always had time for a quick chat and was always so cheerful and friendly. The staff were all long serving and always had a warm welcome. But I just think its such a shame that the restaurant cant carry on in the same format as Cellar has done - that has passed on through the family and is still as good as ever. I understand that Trio and Tango are connected so I guess that's why Tango is taking over. We used to like Tango when it was in the port but Trio was always our 'comfort' zone - and always our first meal of the holiday, and whenever we couldnt decide where to eat - 'Let's go to Trio'!! ( much the same as Citrus was - which is no more either).

I agree that it's great when restaurants pass down through the family but sometimes the family choose not to carry on and want do their own thing in life, it'a sad but we all have to make our own choices.

I only ate at Trio a couple of times and thought the format was very similar to Tango so maybe it won't be too big a change for you .

I don't know an exact date but was told it will be after the end of the season, so you should hopefully get another visit in October.

Kathy and Juan (I think that's right) started with Tots and then opened Tango in the port and then Trio - pretty sure they were at Tots when I first came to PP - so that will be over 40 years ago I think they deserve a rest.

Yes I understand it is going to be end of season as Marcos & his partner are expecting twin girls in August, therefore I think they & the family will have enough on their hands already.

 

[Major Tom]

You never know the last time when dining in PP, and another one bites the dust as Freddie would sing !!
As Phil6699 says - another jewel in the crown needs to be found.I suppose we
are all getting older & remember the "good old days" like Tango in the square, many a good time had by all my family there. Oh well that's progress for you more all inclusive holidays can't be stopped.
Who wants to takeover even the great restaurants such as Can Pacience in a difficult market. I will just have to drown my sorrows when I am back out in September.......

 

[lollipop]

As Juan and Manolo from Tango are business partners it may just be a case of combining the best of both restaurants. Last I heard was that Kati was saying she wasn't retiring, but in all honesty she isn't that fit anymore and probably should or at least take a lesser role. I am sure we will all enjoy the new venture and wish them luck.

 

[clinkham]

Whilst appreciating that things never stay the same....... I would be grateful if Tango could take their view of the bay with them when the move to Trio.

I guess the Tango site reopening as a restaurant may be problematical, being a taxi ride from the town and without an established 'brand' - like wot Tango had when they moved from the town.

My last comment about Tango was a little less than gushing, but we are still looking forward to visiting in August. Children doing beach combing and pebble throwing in the sea followed by the call of the trimphone announcing time for food. Ideal, with the sun setting over the bay.

And this is the first October in years that we cannot visit - would love to have said adios

 

[Belladonna]

Anyone heard who is taking over Tango Cavostra then?
