A British woman who relocated to Tenerife, Spain, has shared her experience trying a three-course meal at a restaurant that went viral for its low prices. The meal, costing €12.95 (£11) per person, left her and her family unimpressed, despite the bargain price.
Background on the Viral Meal Deal
The restaurant, called Savoy, offers a three-course meal for €12.95 (£11) per person. This deal has gained popularity on social media, with many visitors praising the value for money. Caitlin Camp, originally from Manchester, moved to the Canary Islands with her husband Mattie and their daughter. She documented her family's visit to Savoy on TikTok, where they sampled the viral menu.
The Meal Experience
Upon arrival, the group discovered the menu included options from both a standard selection and an Oriental menu. Mattie opted for the Oriental three-course meal, which included hot and spicy soup as a starter, egg fried rice with a curry-like main, and a dessert. Caitlin and her friend chose garlic bread as a starter, followed by Spaghetti Bolognese for their main course. The children's meal included pizza and ice cream.
As the food arrived, Caitlin commented: "First impressions? It's not terrible. It's very much you get what you pay for." The desserts, however, disappointed. Mattie described his cheesecake as "lukewarm," and Caitlin rejected her chocolate cake, saying, "No, this isn't for me. I'm not a fan of this."
Total Cost and Public Reaction
The total bill for three three-course meals, a children's meal, and drinks came to €72.87 (£61.97). Despite the lukewarm reception, viewers on TikTok defended the restaurant. One comment read: "Went there last year was €10.95 I think gone up a bit, 3 course for €12 is an absolute steal. And the foods not even that bad." Another said: "We always come here whenever we come to Tenerife. The food is okay and the staff are lovely." A third viewer noted: "The Chinese meal looked way better than the Bolognese."
