Modern European restaurants in Africa

  1. A

    Marqués de Oristano

    This 16th-century Canary house has been completely renovated to create this sprawling three-in-one eatery. The old stables are now an informal tavern where you can order drinks and tapas; the garden is a bar and grill serving lots of simple fish dishes; and the upstairs living quarters have been transformed into an upscale 'gourmet restaurant' serving dishes like boned kid with black potatoes, and potato confit.

    MIAC Restaurant

    Situated in the Castillo de San José, along with the art gallery, is Arrecife's greatest gastronomic-cum-visual experience. Glide down the spiral staircase and order some wonderful meat and fish dishes in the grooviest possible setting. The huge wraparound windows overlook the port and the décor is the usual Manrique mix of airy and inventive. The bow-tied service completes the dress-for-dinner feel.

    La Placeta

    A charming little bistro on a tiny square, La Placeta has a small menu featuring everything from ravioli to Canary mojo sauces, including lots of vegetarian dishes. Downstairs, get sandwiches, desserts and tapas. Head upstairs for the dining room.
