Don Quijote


Located at Dempsey is Don Quijote, features Spanish cuisine.
At the get go, the place was understaffed. The Topping up of drinks was slow to come by and the usual warm bread served table side was only available after a reminder. When queried on the menu, there lacked any real 'sales' or enthusiasm for any particular dish.
Ordered On:
30Nov2017
 Aguacate con cangrejo SGD15
Crab Scallop dip served with toasties
*Visually it looked like it taste. An absolutely waste of time. Vegetable was not dressed and toasties were more like crostini straight out of a bag. Arguably the crab scallop puree was passable at best.*
Rollitos de Esparragos y Bricon SGD12
Asparagus rolled in bacon

*Simple but too salty by fact of the bacon. It could have done well using large sweet asparagus, instead of the cheaper baby asparagus alternative. One can have better at any yakitori.*
Gulas SGD13
Mock Angulas (baby eel)


*Simple. Garlic, olive oil and dry chilli with the smooth eel. Good flavor and texture. Its like having noodles with the fragrant fry.*
Rabo de Toro SGD16
Ox Tail Stew


*Nice and meat falls right off the bone. A pretty good portion for two to share.*
Seafood Paella Valeciana


*Their signature dish. Made to order which as a disclaimer on their menu takes about 40mins to make. It is a little on the salty side, but having a pretty respectable amount of ingredients was a plus. Good flavor, but the char bits may or may not be part of it. Half of the base pan was charred and tasted like clay-pot rice.*
SGD104.80 fed 2 

Ambiance 3/5
Service 3/5
Food 3/5
Value 2.5/5

Won't be returning. Perhaps their two day advance orders like the suckling pig and chicken are worth a visit in a large group, but for those ordered it wasn't that interesting. The tapas selection had were relatively normal and their mains were pretty alright. We didn't even bother to stay for the dessert, instead went down the road from there to have Durains at Dempsey durians (83m away)
