La Dolce Vita (Puerto del Carmen)

La Dolce Vita in puerto del Carmen

La Dolce Vita ist ein Restaurant am alten Hafen von Puerto del Carmen.  Es befindet sich im gleichen Gebäude wie Puerto Viejo, aber sein Eingang ist auf der anderen Seite des Gebäudes in der Calle de Nuestra Señora del Carmen.

Obwohl es auf italienisches Essen spezialisiert ist, bietet das Restaurant ebenfalls andere Gerichte an.  Auf dem Kindermenü gibt es eine gute Auswahl an Sachen, aber insbesondere die Kinderpizza ist die Wahl, da die Kinder die freie Auswahl an Pizzen auf der normale Karte haben und bekommen diese etwas kleiner gebacken zum Festpreis.

Wir fanden das gut und zur Pizza gab es sogar einen richtigen Pizzaschneider!  Die Weinauswahl war ähnlich wie im Puerto Viejo, nur etwas günstiger.  Der Hauswein – obwohl nicht schlecht – stammte vom Festland, aber kanarische Weine werden auch angeboten.

Statt eine Vorspeise zu bestellen haben wir die Brötchen mit Butter angenommen, die sowieso zum Tisch gebracht wurden.  Sie waren frisch gebacken und sogar noch warm.

Die Mitarbeiter im Restaurant waren freundlich, obwohl es manchmal ein Moment dauerte, bis man ihre Aufmerksamkeit hatte.  Als wir fertig waren und gehen wollten, gab es sogar eine ganze Runde “Tschüßsagen”, sogar vom Küchenpersonal und Pizzabäcker!

La Dolce Vita hat Donnerstags geschlossen.

La Dolce Vita (Puerto del Carmen)

La Dolce Vita in Puerto del CarmenLa Dolce Vita is a restaurant overlooking the old harbour in Puerto del Carmen. It is in the same building as Puerto Viejo, but its entrance is on the other side of the building in the Calle de Nuestra Señora del Carmen.

Although specialised on Italian food, the restaurant also offers a selection of non-Italian dishes. The children’s menu has a variety of items on it, and the children’s pizza is a particularly good choice as it allows them to choose any pizza of the normal menu and have it in a slightly smaller size for a set price.

The food itself was good, and the pizza was even accompanied by a proper pizza cutter! The wine selection was similar to in Puerto Viejo below, but actually slightly cheaper. The house wine, whilst not bad, was from the mainland, although local wines were also available.

Instead of ordering a starter, we took the bread rolls and butter which were brought to the table anyway. These turned out to be fresh and warm.

The restaurant has friendly staff, although sometimes it did take a moment to attract their attention. As we left there was a whole round of “good byes” to do, including the kitchen staff and the pizza baker!

La Dolce Vita is closed on Thursdays.

Why you need a VB-Nummer to register a car

FahrzeugscheinI’ve talked before about how the process of buying and registering a car in Germany.

Since I recorded that podcast there has been a change in the way that the insurance works, as I found out when I changed my car last year.

One of the best things about the German registration system is that you must arrange insurance for the car before you go to the Zulassungsstelle to register it.  If you do not, then you will either not receive any number plates to put on the car, or at the very least they will not have valid stickers on them, making uninsured cars very easy to spot on German roads.
