The original Banana Tree is in Quesada. This is a copy of the first. The décor is impressive with a carved dark wood exterior with wooden seating and tables. The air conditioned interior looks as if it is built around a Banana tree with and features glitzy tiles and the same heavy ornate wood as the exterior.
The food is a mix of Thai and Chinese. It is served in ornate bowls and looks impressive. The old adage of "you get what you pay for" fits perfectly here. A lot of effort is given to those eating a la carte with carved vegetables decorating the plates and large portions.
The cheaper option of the set menu for €9.95 gives reasonable value for money with quite a number of choices for the starter and main course served with rice or noodles and also includes a small drink. However, if you are starving and the budget can stretch my advice is to go for a la carte.
The set menu ice cream desert is basic. If you like coffee it is probably the better option.
The service was good and we didn't need to book, but it was quite busy for a mid week.
It is a little off the beaten track, so here are some directions. It lies in between Los Dolses [Super Value] and Dream Hills. It is next to the new Instituto School which is being built. From Dream Hills and the back of Playa Flamenca go over the small bridge and head in the direction of Los Dolses. The restaurant is on your right hand side.
Rating overall 7/10
