Restaurants:
There are many good restaurants on the island. There is an excellent Italian –
Portico – and Chinese restaurant in the small parade of shops near Casa de
Fortuna. The promenade at Playa Blanca plays host to many, ranging from
Pizzerias to good quality gourmet foods. Many have an Italian theme, along
with international cuisine. There are also some excellent restaurants to be found
further inland:-
 Don Camillo, Playa Blanca, on the sea front promenade towards the
harbour. Excellent international cuisine and an extensive menu. Three
different kitchens, including a steak grill and pizzeria. Don‟t order a T-
bone unless you haven‟t eaten for a while!
 La Era, Yaiza, behind the Town Hall. Tel. [phone]. Open all week from
1.00pm till 11.00pm. Booking advised. http://www.la-era.com. This restaurant
in the lovely little village of Yaiza, is set in a 300-year-old farmhouse with
gardens, courtyards and outbuildings lovingly restored by Cesar Manrique into a
fascinating and beautiful place to eat and drink. La Era serves authentic
Canarian cuisine as well as International dishes.
 La Bocaina, Playa Blanca, on the right, just past the petrol station,
travelling toward Playa Blanca. First class Cuisine. Closed on Mondays.
928 518 388.
 Restaurante La Pappardella, Puerto Calero, (worth a visit just to see the
yachts in the marina) excellent Italian restaurant, run by Italians.
 Restaurante El Campo, Yaiza, excellent Canarian and International
cuisine. 928 830 344.
 Restaurante Playa Quemada, Playa Quemada. We would recommend
this as the best restaurant we have found on the island so far. Just after
Yaiza, there is a right turn that takes you down to Playa Quemada.
Don‟t wear your high heels as the car park leaves a little to be desired.
Fabulous food and always excellent fresh fish available. Booking
advised. 928 173 707.
 Restaurante Casa Torano, El Golfo. This is an excellent fish restaurant
with tables both sides of the road. The waiters bring the food from the
restaurant to tables near to the sea which provides a lovely, relaxed
setting.
