Breakfast
Guests can enjoy their breakfast on a lovely terrace, which adds a picturesque ambiance to their dining experience. The breakfast offerings tend to be rich and plentiful, catering to various tastes with both sweet and savory options, including fresh produce. Some visitors have also noted the inclusion of delightful extras such as delicious cinnamon rolls and fresh yogurts.
Despite these highlights, a recurring point is the limited variety of the breakfast menu. Some visitors found it to be repetitive and basic with specific complaints about the absence of staples like butter and certain warm options such as eggs and vegetables. On a few occasions, issues like rancid butter and minimal fruit choices were pointed out, which slightly detracted from the overall positive feedback.
In summary, Rural Rugama generally receives favorable reviews for its breakfast, praised for its abundance, taste and the pleasant breakfast atmosphere on the terrace. The staff's attentiveness significantly enhances the dining experience, although there is room for improvement in expanding the variety of options available.

Guests particularly enjoyed the grilled dishes and found the menu to be very good and abundant. The restaurant’s quality has been highlighted as one of its key strengths, suggesting that those who get the chance to dine there are rarely disappointed.
On the downside, some guests found the restaurant to be expensive compared to other local options and a few were underwhelmed by their dining experience, labeling it mediocre compared to other places on the island. The lack of nearby dining alternatives also posed a challenge for some, especially with the restaurant’s infrequent availability, necessitating travel to Puerto del Rosario or other areas for meals.
Overall, while the restaurant at 'Rural Rugama' offers excellent food and service when open, its limited hours and the lack of nearby dining options are crucial factors for potential guests to consider when planning their stay.
