Samsara is right next to the local beauty spot the Maspalomas dunes and oasis which is rather appropriate because the restaurant itself is an oasis of class in a desert for good eating..
This is THE stylish restaurant, both in the food and surroundings. The décor is oriental with lavish money spent to give real atmosphere (expect huge Buddhas and couches with endless cushions) a place for a civilised and romantic night out. Smart casual is the preferred dress but on the night we went some people were in shorts which is an insult for all the care which has been taken in the planning.
You can sit outside and see the lights of the surrounding hills but that can be a bit chilly. Or you can sit in a glass enclosed area inside.
The food is superb with a far east fusion on western dishes such as steak and duck and fish. There are two Juans here: the chef, who presents the food with decoration worthy of a top restaurant and the Maitre d’ who actually seems to care that you have a relaxed time.
Order one starter between two; the portions are large. The wine list is short and reasonable.
Downsides: If you have put on weight during the holiday you might have trouble squeezing through the toilet door.
