A good Hierro cheese broth. Try out the exotic Canary cuisine with dishes such as alfonsiños fish with periwinkles, quenefas de viejas fish rissoles with limpet sauce, sea urchins, fig biscuit and Hierro cheese broth. What are you waiting for?

Wonderful location right next to the sea,you can hear the waves whilst in bed,amazing. The hotel is quaint but in keeping with El Hierro. Very clean. A car is an essential as is quite remote. Food very good perhaps a little repetitive,but very well cooked and presented. The staff wher charming and very helpful a little Spanish helps. It's a peacful place to spend a short break. Only complaint no tea or coffee making facilities in the room. We would go again.

La Pinna is situated at the top ridge of El Golfo, the large volcanic crater on El Hierro. The view from the restaurant is absolutely spectacular and definately worth a view, but now I need to talk about the restaurant. The waiter was really nice and indeed we loved that view, but unfortunately, the food was very expensive and not all too amazing. For instance, my potatoes were fantastic and my tuna not so. My mum's veg was lovely and her fish not quite. Do visit, drink a coffee and eat a desert, but for true Spanish food, nahhh.

As with all restaurants in the area having a little basic Spanish will greatly enhance your dining experience, furthermore this is a very popular restaurant and making a reservation is probably a necessity to getting a table. The restaurant has both a large internal dining area and street side external tables. The customary bread and mojo sauces here are a little above most others and complimented by a very good black garlic aioli. We were dining with a Spanish speaker and order a mix of squid and ham croquettes which were exceptionally good as was my partners salad which she stated was the best salad by far that she had on the island. It was fresh and substantial and apparently substantially home grown. We had a fried fish main which was very good in its simplicity.It is definitely worth a visit.

The menu is mainly meat oriented (my friend had black pig and it was very good).The quality of food is good, not outstanding though.They donât have any written menu or blackboard- the chef tells you directly what you can order- so you cannot see the prices and it creates a âdark âsensation, they can charge you on an individual basis.

A taste of local cuisine, fresh seafood and plenty of international choices in a relaxing and magic atmosphere: in the cozy charmy restaurant hall or on the stunning terrace. Great food and a wonderful view!

Stopped at this beautiful spot for lunch and we were delighted. The setting is magnificent with crashing waves. We shared a lovely duck and pear salad and then ordered the prawn paella. One of the best weâve had. After the complimentary coffee granita we ordered two puddings - local pineapple with pineapple gel and pineapple foam plus delicious chocolate mouse with white chocolate slices. All absolutely yummy and the best meal weâve had in the Canary Islands. The staff were excellent and next time we hope to stay in the tiny hotel and enjoy dinner in the restaurant.

We had a couple of fabulous lunches here. The fish were Alfonsinos, a sort of deep water bream, with big eyes and delicate rosy skin, susceptible to overcooking. Ours- we had big ones between two people- were exceptional, and exceptionally well-cooked. Sweet and juicy with some salad and wrinkled potatoes (papas arrugadas) and sauces, 'mojos', picon (spicy. Red) and verde (herby. Green). We had some wine and complimentary shots of the local hooch. The service could not have been friendlier. Fair play to them, they displayed the LGBTQ flag as well. We paid about â¬40. Great value.

La Higuera de la Abuela is a restaurant set in a beautiful garden patio planted with succulents, cacti, bougainvillea, oleander, and hibiscus. We were fortunate arriving in time to take the last outdoor unreserved table for lunch. The wait staff were friendly and helped with translations. Our meal consisted of grilled local red tuna, fried peppers, stuffed mushrooms, finishing with a very tasty tres leches dessert. Very nice!

We visited this little restaurant situated prominently overcooking Restinga Harbour twice and any issues we had were really of out own making by not having basic Spanish.This little restaurant only seats about 12 people and is a popular spot with both locals and visitors alike. There is no English spoken (which is not unusual on the island) and hence a little bit of even pigeon Spanish will greatly enhance your choice and dining experience, or you can follow our example by pointing at the menu and wondering / hoping for the best as to what was going to appear for diner.On our first visit we ordered grilled fish and a salad, which was in its simplicity quite superb ( fancy restaurants should follow the example and simply leave fish to speak for itself on the plate). On the second occasion and with the help of a Spanish speaker we pre ordered Paella (which must be ordered a day in advanced as it is cooked to order) which in my humble opinion was a little over saffroned and over salted but tasty non the less.Well worth a visit, which will be greatly enhanced by having a few basic words of Spanish.

We were introduced to this lovely restaurant by friends last night. As it was our first time (and the menu was in Spanish) they suggested we picked our own inside. I picked a fish and my husband a t bone steak, there was also a mixed grill and steak for the others in our group. The food when it came was cooked perfectly and was delicious. The staff were attentive throughout and catered to our every need.A fantastic restaurant, highly recommended.Thanks for your answer ,I hope see you soon.
