San Andres Restaurant

Located in C/ Plaza, 7. San Andrés The Bar Restaurante San Andrés is a hidden charm in the town square. From the first moment, its location next to the historic fountain in the old part of town captivated me, bringing a sense of tranquility and nostalgia.

Before venturing to Charco Azul, I decided to take a break at this restaurant. To begin with, the garlic shrimp were simply irresistible, with just the right touch of garlic and oil that did not overshadow the natural flavor of the shrimp. Next, the rice broth lived up to my expectations: well seasoned, with loose grains and a tasty broth.

One of the details that impressed me the most was the clarity in the menu regarding allergens and gluten-free options, an increasingly essential aspect in today's gastronomy. In addition, I was surprised by dishes such as the grilled baby squid with peppers and onions and the wreckfish croquettes both perfectly prepared and with an unmistakable flavor.

However, the star dish was the black rice. Its intense flavor and perfect texture reminded me of the rice dishes of the Mediterranean coast. Accompanied by crispy battered squid, the experience was simply delicious.

Despite being in a busy plaza, the service was efficient and attentive. I opted to sit on the terrace and enjoy the breeze and sea views, which complemented the dining experience perfectly.

In short, Bar Restaurante San Andrés is a place that perfectly combines excellent gastronomy with a relaxed atmosphere and picturesque surroundings.

We cannot overlook its specialties, such as the paella and the cod. You can tell that these dishes have been prepared with technique and dedication. In addition, the bread accompanied by their homemade garlic oil is the perfect complement to any menu choice.

As for the size of the restaurant, although it has a small space, it provides an intimate and cozy atmosphere. The service is fast, attentive and, above all, friendly, which guarantees an unforgettable culinary experience.

However, it is vital to keep in mind that the size of the restaurant may require a reservation during peak hours. So if you are considering a visit, I suggest you call ahead at phone: 922 45 01 68.

4. Casa Demetrio Restaurant

If you find yourself exploring the mystical Bosque de Los Tilos, after a good hike you'll probably feel that call in your stomach and wonder, "Where could I eat around here?" We tried it at the Casa Demetrio Restaurant.

It's like you've stepped into your Canarian grandmother's kitchen. The place is super authentic and has that rustic touch that makes you feel at home. Homemade food, yes! Try the Carne de Fiesta the Blanched gofio and, of course, those delicious Grateful potatoes And don't forget the quesillo for dessert, because, my friend, it's a treat you won't want to share.

You may think the place is a bit chaotic in its operation, but hey, that's part of its charm. And hey, want to meet a waitress with a humor of ten, ask for her! I can't remember her name (it seems forgetfulness is contagious around here), but I promise she'll give you a treat that will keep you coming back. Mind you, don't expect to use your Wi-Fi, but who needs it when you're surrounded by nature and delicious food?

And if after a good meal you're in the mood for a cool atmosphere, take a stroll through the indoor dining room. But if you're more of an outdoorsy, rural vibe, they have picnic tables outside that you'll love.

5. BAR RESTAURANT RESTAURANT ASADERO ROSÁN

I don't know how they do it, but every time I visit the north of the island, I always end up stopping at the Asadero Rosán. Located in Carretera Gral. C830 Bajamar, 7 It is one of those places that has a je ne sais quoi that traps you.

When you arrive, you find a warm atmosphere that invites you to stay. I sit down, take a look at the menu and, although I already know by heart what I like, I am always surprised with a new dish. But if we are talking about classics, the ribs in sauce are so good that you can cry. Juicy and with a flavor that makes you want to ask for more.

And well, what would a good meal be without dessert? Although there is a variety to choose from, the Prince Albert has become my favorite. It has that sweet but not cloying touch that closes the meal with a flourish.

As for the treatment, I have always felt well received. The staff is friendly and attentive, always making sure I don't miss anything. In fact, there is a waitress who even knows me and, although I don't know her name, we always chat for a while.

The value for money is one of those that makes you smile. When the bill arrives at the table, I feel that I have paid a fair price for a meal that has left me more than satisfied.

Located in the Puerto Espindola Road, 9 at Puerto Espindola Mesón del Mar was a place that had been recommended to me for its marine gastronomy, so we decided to try it.

Upon arrival, we were won over by the atmosphere. We opted to try the roasted squid which was a wise decision. The dish is served with mojos and wrinkled potatoes and is, without a doubt, one of the best I have ever tasted. In addition, I could not resist the grilled octopus It was tender and juicy, reminding me of the authentic flavors of Galicia.
