A sleek marriage of visual and culinary arts, this popular and laid-back restaurant delights diners with artfully crafted Mediterranean-meets-Canarian dishes like zesty falafel, tandoori tofu rice, Lanzarote goat's cheese and smoked salmon from Uga, all washed down with local organic wines. Tables are dotted across a flower-filled courtyard and several stylish dining rooms.
