We came from Hong Kong and Australia and have eaten in mainland Spain previously. But the food and service here was exceptional, probably the best we have eaten so far in all of Spain. A really quaint restaurant with home cooked food from the heart.We ordered the prawns, octopus with mango and beef tenderloin. Each dish was truly fantastic. The prawns were cooked perfectly, and the octopus and beef tenderloin (cooked medium) were tender with their sauces/dressing complimenting them well.The service from the sole waiter/chef was also prompt and attentive.Highly recommended if you are visiting La Gomera.

We wanted to have a late lunch after a hike and a short road trip and came across this small restaurant. The people are really friendly and the food was very delicious. There is a language barrier though but nothing that a smartphone can't fix. They helped us really well with ordering even though English wasn't an option. I even thanked them afterwords via a google translate: "Lo mejor que hemos tenido en las islas canarias." Which should mean "The best we've had on the canarian islands" and I didn't lie. It was delicious.Gracias!!

A nice view is not enough when you’re hungry. The food has to be good. Here you get both. Excellent food and a stunning view on Mt Teide.The seafood was delicious! Also the people working here were nice and kind.

Best eating experience in La Gomera, hands down. Every dish was fantastic but special recommendations for the octopus. The owner, chef, and waiter is also a musician. Make sure to reserve.

This restaurant is an absolute gem. All the dishes we tried were spot-on. Great and friendly chef, cosy atmosphere and mouth-watering dishes. Try the croquettes, the eggplant, papas bravas and the pulpo! Best restaurant on the island. You can truly believe all the great reviews here.

we made the trip to this area just to eat the amazing looking pulpo frito, but when we arrived, the owner said the restaurant was closed (from what we understood in preparation for a private event). however, when he heard we came there just to try his dish, he decided to cook for us. it turned into an amazing and really special experience we will remember forever. the food was just incredible in taste and looked spectacular and the owner was so warm and happy to have us. thank you for creating the memories for us!

Amazing food and amazing service, just a few tables here so we had to wait after we called to make a spontaneous reservation, but it was worth every minute of waiting! Recommend it to all travellers who want to try good Spanish food in the middle of nowhere

We wanted to visit this place due to the excellent opinions. The restaurant was a real surprise. Super intimate, cosy and chummy with only 4 or five tables and a semi open kitchen with a real wood fire to cook food.The owner is the cook, the bartender and waiter at the same time. Incredible and he never loses attention or his enthusiasm.The food was just like the other people here have written. Excellent and all prepared with love!I could have written this in Spanish but I hope that foreign tourist will give it a try. It is worth it!We certainly will come back!
