Restaurants in The North

  1. A

    Kiú

    This enticing space is the place to come for laid-back nightlife, a morning coffee or an elegant meal. The café has a decadent cake choice; the cervecería has beer on tap and live music at weekends; and the elegant restaurant hits the right spot with innovative dishes like sole and prawn rolls in a dill sauce.

    Casa El Farol

    Comprises three separate eateries for the indecisive. There's a mesón (traditional restaurant) with good Mediterranean-style dishes, a bistro in the patio (try the goat's cheese and tomato salad with pesto) and a bakery with a German pastry chef, plus homemade fresh-fruit ice cream.

    La Papaya

    This long-time favourite has a series of small dining rooms with rock-face walls and a pretty patio with adjacent leafy garden. There are Canarian touches to the menu, including the succulent salmon in malvasía (Malmsey wine) sauce.

    Casa Miranda

    A three-storey Canarian mansion built in 1730, this was the family home of 18th-century Venezuelan president Francisco de Miranda. Nowadays you can get seafood and grilled meats in the fine dining room, or order tapas in the downstairs bar.

  5. El Caletón

    The best position in town, with a vast terrace overlooking the volcanic rock pools. You can have a drink or ice cream or something more substantial; the menu includes a tasty setas con gambas (oyster mushrooms with prawns).

    Meson Los Gemelos

    Round the corner from the bus station, this is a friendly, welcoming restaurant with a great atmosphere; the house speciality is grilled meats. There's a covered interior patio, lots of locals and a noisy parrot.

    Pomodora

    The location, in a cave under the seaside promenade, is the main draw at this restaurant and pizzeria. Diners get a fantastic view of the rocky coast; the menu reads like a novel, in six languages, no less.

    La Rosa di Bari

    One of the classiest restaurants in town, located in a lovely old house with several romantic dining rooms. Enjoy innovative dishes like cod in port sauce with truffles, or asparagus gnocchi with prawns.

    Tapas Arcón

    Papas arrugadas (wrinkly potatoes) with mojo (spicy salsa), or the Arcón special sauces of almond and sweet pepper or parsley and coriander are the must-have tapas here.
