My wife and here"Baraquito"

The restaurant is situated between Las Americas and Los Cristianos, in the complex of Santiago 5, a nice place with an excelent service, a high standing staff. The prices are not excessive let us say more cheap in comparation with the quantity and the quality of the food served

Our favorite dish is the mixed paela, they prepare it freshly on demand. It takes about 1/2 hour for preparing so you have a good time to take your apetiser. The prices are cheap, and the wine of the house is very good. The specialities of the house are plates prepared with rize, They have about 10 different kinds of paella. After souper my wife was taking allways a barraquito instat of a normal cafe. What it is?? Every body knows Irich-cafe, it is the same kind of preparation with the exception than of the local liquer they are using and the cafe in on base of a cortado, very, very good and cheap!!!! only € 1,80!!!!

LOS COCHORRUOS and SIBORA. They are both typical for the restaurants at the interior of the island,one side is the pub and little store,the other side the restaurant,decorated with old pics of the island.

In both restaurants you can eat verry good meat,roasted on a BBQ.

I don't remember the name of the restaurant in Los Llanos. It was very nice looking with several small rooms decorated with nice paintings. When we went in to celebrate our last night at La Palma a man told us in Spanish that the restaurant was closed because 'El Cuchero' was sick. The signlanguage he used to illustrate his message, left nothing to our imagination.

Wakiki Restaurant(on beach at Corralejo) The prices are cheap in the day but in the evenings it converts into a bistro/restaurant with a differnet menu which is slightly dearer but still cheap overall

Spaghetti Carbonara.They did it perfectly.I have never tasted it so good anywhere else.

Theme: Other

Directions: just off the main shopping street of Corralejo.There is a big 'Waikiki' sign and it points to the beach as it is right by the beach.

The restaurant within the Timanfaya national park is an excellent, if pricey place to eat. The food is cooked from the heat of the volcano and you can actually watch the chefs cooking it. It must save them quite a small fortune in fuel costs for the cooking.

Chicken ... a la volcano!

You must try the typical sauces of the Canaries. I prefered the red mojo as I am a chilli lover. I found that the food in general was of a very high standard compared to some holiday destinations. There certainly seems to be quite high standards of food hygiene.

Sangria - this is a typical Spanish drink with wine and fruit as the main ingredients. It comes served in a jug. Make sure if you and a friend share a jug that you have equal shares or you could end up staggering about after your lunch!
