About
The island of La Graciosa has received a multitude of cultural contributions that have influenced its cuisine. The inhabitants of the island inherited part of their culinary customs from the aborigines. In addition to the Guanche heritage, we find Spanish and South American gastronomic influence on the island. Its dishes stand out for their simplicity, since raw materials predominate over their preparation, but the result is very tasty. Good meats, fresh fish, vegetables and virgin olive oil are part of the table in our restaurant. The wines and cheeses are very typical and of great importance. Soups are the most typical way to consume vegetables. Due to the richness of the sea in the Canary Islands, there are many varieties of fish. Among the recipes with fish, it is worth highlighting the Sancocho and the fish broth. Among the meats, the most consumed are pig, chicken, rabbit and goat. As for pastries, peanut bread and soul rolls are very typical.

Visited the island on a whim and having wandered round the village for a couple of hours decided to get a lite bite at lunchtime.
I went for the grilled Mussels and she went for the sardines - both were just fabulous;.
I like my mussels, but these were so much better than others i have eaten. the sardines were also tasty and came with salad and potatoes etc.
Great food, good service and surprisingly inexpensive

After renting bikes, we were hungry and the waiter showed us our choice of fresh fish that could be grilled "à la plancha." We chose red sea bream and were not disappointed. The fish was super fresh and beautifully prepared. The waiter was smiling, friendly and quick. The tables are placed in the sand in front of the harbour, so you can see the fishing boats that brought in the day's catch. The trimmings (bread and salad and potatoes) could have been better, but for this tiny island the quality is surprisingly good.

This was our first meal on the island and admittedly we were very tired from travelling all day but found the food rather stodgy. My partner ordered chicken croquettes and I had the tuna croquettes because these were the few items actually priced. I understand that catches of the day have a "special price" by weight but I've been ripped off in restaurants abroad when the price isn't shown so was wary to order these.
The croquettes didn't come with anything other than a sprinkling of garnish so we ordered a side of "wrinkled potatoes" basically boiled Canarian new potatoes which were nice enough.
Not sure how much chicken or tuna was in the croquettes and we reckoned both meals tasted pretty much the same.
Waiters were friendly and the atmosphere was nice. Lovely setting right on the water front.
However I was awake all nice with severe indigestion. Considering how much we paid, I was not happy. Perhaps I was unsettled after travelling. This place has had some great reviews so maybe order the specials and avoid the tuna!

Wow. We decided to browse “the strip” before eating when we arrived and I’m glad we did. The food and service was so enjoyable here we stayed for all two meals and drinks we enjoyed in the Island. Get the daily catch, delicious!

We tried to order a starter of fried cheese followed by the seafood platter but were told we couldn't have the starter. We initially assumed it was because we didn't get there till 21.30. In retrospect, I think we were told that we wouldn't need the starter - and that was entirely true.
Having ordered a campari and soda in other places and having been given a campari&soda and a separate bottle of fizzy water, this time I ordered a campari for my wife and a beer for myself. The campari arrived neat with lots of ice. No complaints after the initial surprise!
We asked for some dips for our bread which were brought happily and without charge.
The fish platter was delicious, fresh, well-cooked, and enormous. We finished it relieved that we hadn't had a starter. (No photos exist of it pre-eaten, sadly. It was beautiful too.)
We had a bottle of Yaiza dry white wine with dinner which complemented it beautifully and, after a coffee, ordered an honey rum each as a nightcap. Not only were we not charged for those but the very friendly waiter insisted on topping us up after we had paid the bill before we left.
The restaurant understood my dire Spanish, served excellent food at a decent price, and was generous and welcoming.
We look forward to returning when next we're on our favourite island.

Staff was very rude as we were trying to seat at one of many empty tables with a piece of cake from the nearest bakery. They started to screamed from the door we are not allow to bring food from outside. I was finishing this cake so we wanted to have food and drinks but this rude actitud made us leave the place. Not recommended. There are others places with nicer staff around the port

Walk past all the eateries that you encounter upon arriving at the harbour. Turn left. Do not be seduced by the Panadería Pastelería Quela on the corner. Continue along the shore front until you arrive at El Veril. Everything was superior here. The cafe con leche was better. The bocadillo de pata y queso was fresh and flavorful unlike in any of the other places. Finally the fried calamari platter for dinner was exceptional, with a delicious salad, potatoes, and batatas with aioli. This place puts everything closer to the ferry jumping on place to shame. The only other place I’d recommend after our two day visit is Casa Enriqueta around the corner, one block further in land.

It was recommended to us in the apartment for its octopus portions…
And the truth was very disappointing, the portion of octopus was scarce and dry, for €17
The mussels €15 10 units served with very little love as well as the sardines and the salad… two summer reds and two coffees €64
It takes advantage of its location on the beach next to the ports.
The waiters serve you with little enthusiasm as if they were doing you a favor.
And the bathroom for what you pay lacks paper even if you ask for it.
Anywhere else is much better.

Lamentamos mucho escuchar sobre su experiencia decepcionante en nuestro restaurante. Nos entristece saber que la calidad y la cantidad de los platos no estuvieron a la altura de sus expectativas, especialmente considerando los precios. Tomaremos en serio sus comentarios sobre el servicio y la atención de nuestros camareros, así como la falta de papel en el baño, para mejorar en estas áreas. Apreciamos sinceramente sus comentarios y lamentamos no haber cumplido con sus expectativas. Esperamos tener la oportunidad de recuperar su confianza en el futuro. Siento disentir en el tema de los precios , ese precio de los cafés es excesivo

Unfriendly welcome. We did not get the fish we had chosen. This one had shrunk during cooking... we got one fish for one person at the price of one fish for two. Furthermore, at the time of addition, the wine had been counted twice. Scam the tourist.

Disastrous experience with my partner and I, in what should be a quiet lunch on the wonderful island of La Graciosa.
To start, the grilled fish was burnt on one side, oily, and completely tasteless (no flavor at all). And the €17.50 squid I attach a photo so you can judge for yourselves.
A separate mention is the “service” with which the workers of said restaurant receive you.
Kitchen staff arguing loudly in the kitchen with the waiters. One of them, in the midst of an argument, threw several cutlery to the ground and subsequently left the service to return after about 20 minutes.
Waiters who practically threw the plates at the tables with bad faces and bad answers to each table that asked for something. And all accompanied by numerous shouts and insults between them, which came from the kitchen but could be heard throughout the restaurant terrace.
Whatever other option you have to eat on this island, believe me it will be a better option if you want to enjoy a quiet lunch.
It's a shame that an island with so much charm, and few options to eat, has a restaurant that offers such terrible and disastrous service like that.
It is more worth taking the boat back to Lanzarote than sitting at a table in this restaurant, and on top of that, it is exorbitantly priced.

We had lunch here, today August 16, 2024, after an Internet search on recommended restaurants and we had a terrible time!
Over the queue waiting to have a table (even quite sliding) we were made to sit. We asked for a table in the shade after we cycled 12km and were given a table in the sun, with half the shade coming and going according to the wind that made the umbrella move.
Along with the menu we were brought bread with two saucers, one of which is already dirty. We ordered a Salad atun (from the menu provided with lettuce avocado tomatoes onion and tuna).
We got a bowl with :
Classic canned tuna, half a lettuce leaf, visibly unripe tomatoes.
Also was asked without onion, but was brought with..
Totally poor and bad service!
Nobody listening to the demands.
Bad...

If I had read other reviews before going to this restaurant I wouldn’t have gone but unfortunately I ate there today and the reviews were right. Good location and the food was tasty enough but the terrible service spoiled the whole experience. The main waiter wanted to sit my husband and I at a table in the full sun on a very hot sunny lunchtime- he seemed to go in a huff but a female member of staff came over and assured us we could sit in the shade. This didn’t only happen to us as we watched him do this to several couples. I could understand if the place was busy but it wasn’t.
We ordered an expensive large fish to share and were expecting the waiter to come and debone and serve the fish which is what usually happens but it was unceremoniously dumped on the table and we were left to get on with it.
I will admit the fish was delicious and fresh but unfortunately the food attracted a host of flies so it was one hand eating and the other swatting! Getting the attention of any of the waiters to clear the table and bring the bill was another problem!
I would not recommend this restaurant because of the attitude of the staff.

We were a group of 6 friends and asked:
-Roman squid: not one squid came per person, very little ration.
- brothed rice: we ordered for 4 and went over the price. Besides, it wasn't tasty and it wasn't anything else.
Finally, we ordered ice for one of the drinks and it cost them their lives to put an ice in the drink (literally they said “buff”).
I don't go crazy.
They take advantage of the good location they have.

Even having a privileged location on the island, the attitude of some of the workers is a shame. I am not going to generalize since reading comments I see that there are clients who have found waiters who seem to do their job well.
We approach the establishment and say hello, then the worker asks us if we are going to eat... to which we answer that we were going to have some beers, then with a very bad face he tells us to sit down, but that if someone came we would have to get up. . Ok up to that point I agree, I can understand that they want to occupy the tables for lunch or dinner but the attitude was regrettable. If it goes well and you say okay guys but if someone comes I'll seat you somewhere else, (having at that time quite a few free tables) things change. And on top of that, once seated, we heard giggles and comments making us feel quite uncomfortable. It has been the
only place in La Graciosa, where professionalism has been zero. I hope they treat future customers better who come both to eat and to have a drink.

We had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful bar/restaurant with our two children for at least 6 evenings during our 10-day stay, and each visit left us extremely satisfied and happy.
The food was exceptional every single time. The fish was top-notch, the salads fresh, the squid delicate, and the desserts were the perfect finishing touch. The authenticity of the location added greatly to our experience. It's one of those places that makes you wish your vacation would last longer.
Our children were very welcome, and the service was consistently flawless. We felt welcomed and well taken care of every single time.
Muchas gracias a Cesar y a todo el personal por su excepcional hospitalidad. ¡Ustedes juntos mejoraron significativamente nuestra experiencia de vacaciones!
