Restaurants in The North

  1. Azzurro

    The restaurant is located near the lighthouse in the Los Lagos part of town with its shallow pools and scrubby desert setting. At this place overlooking the beach, with a pretty peach-painted interior, the menu includes fish fillet in lemon and basil and a tasty pasta dish with mushrooms and prawns in a nest of parmesan cheese.

  2. Aguayre

    This is a trendy Tex Mex-cum-Italian-cum-vegetarian restaurant. Come here with an appetite and tuck into one of the piled-high salads, California wraps or a sizzling volcano pizza with chilli, mushrooms and hot peppers.

  3. Restaurante Fusion

    Enjoys a good, central location with a solid traditional menu, outside tables and a pleasant indoor dining space with a quirky wall display of ancient nails. Kick-start your appetite with a dish of ropa vieja (literally, 'old clothes'), made with beef, peppers and chickpeas from a peasant recipe. Grilled tuna, garlic with octopus and grilled aubergine slices with goat's cheese and honey are similar culinary winners.

    La Cabaña Asturiana

    This restaurant has a superb position on the seafront with an attractive chunky wood furnished interior. The menu here offers something different: traditional Asturian cuisine with dishes like Asturian stew, rabbit or sausages in cider and tuna-stuffed onions. Tastier than they sound - promise!

  5. Restaurante La Vaca Azul

    Enjoys prime position overlooking the pebbly beach, although the surreal rooftop cow (floodlit in lurid blue at night) has the best spot. The menu includes paella, vegetarian kebabs and mixed fish grill (minimum two people). The place doubles as a gallery for local photographers and artists.

    La Factoria

    Situated right on the beach in the old harbour, the owner is from Bologna, so knows a thing or two about pasta, which is freshly made daily and delicious. The pizzas are similarly good with thin, crispy bases and tasty toppings - mama would definitely approve.

    El Andaluz

    The chef-cum-owner is from Córdoba - and it shows. The menu includes salmorejo (thick, gazpacho-style soup) and gambas al ajillo (shrimps in garlic sauce). Vegetarians are catered to (rare in Andalusia!) with a tasty leek pie with vegetables.

    Poco Loco

    You can expect a good grilling at this Argentinean-style steak house with its T-bone steaks, lamb chops and - good heavens - vegetarian lasagne! The orange-and-black interior is a mite macho, however, while the mountain stag's head looks suitably benign.

  9. Heaven

    Come here for your HP sauce fix. Fish and chips, kebabs and chicken tikka are also on the menu, plus Guinness on tap. The name says it all: this place is heaven for deprived Brits.

    Café de Viena

    Possibly the best place in town for breakfast. Choose between Spanish, German, English or vegetarian - with all the trimmings and freshly squeezed orange juice.
