This place was a block off the main drag, and honestly, it didn't look like much, but we were tired of walking. The food was authentic and AMAZING!!! Started with a tapas plate of fried goat cheese topped with three different toppings. For the main course, my wife had a pancake filled with prawns and veggies. I had the best cod dish I've ever had on a bed of potatoes. Add a couple bottles of local beer and a sangria unlike any I've ever tasted and we had an outstanding meal. A great place to eat and people watch.

We had our lunch here al fresco and shared an order of Boquerones (marinated anchovies) and Ibérico con Manchego y "Pa amb tomàquet" (Spanish cured reserve Serrano ham with manchego cheese and bread with tomato). I also had a Dorada Beer. The service was pleasant and attentive, prices reasonable, and ambiance just right for the occasion. A delightful place.

On an island that just recently got introduced to glutenfree products and is still developing on that end, this is really special service. Further I ordered the fresh fish of the day, which came with Canary potatoes and the famous Canary green sauce. Absolutely delicious, and fantastic value at around 11€! Rounded up with a La Palma grappa that had a lovely honey-like aftertaste, I'm more than happy to have tried Sadi! Highly recommended!

Vegetables! After a few days on La Palma, it was a relief to find a restaurant featuring vegetables…read moreon the menu and an English-speaking server. The bright fluorescent lighting and modern concept interior stand out in high contract to the to dark and cozy tapas places around Santa Cruz. It was a bit off-putting at dinner time, but worth it. I would definitely go back at lunch. The menu calls everything a starter, but the ones we tried were basically entree size. We had pear and jamon salad (this is big enough to share), which was excellent. The ham croquettes came in a large serving (maybe 9) and were very rich. I had the wok/stirfry with shrimp - it was a little over seasoned for my taste and the vegetables a touch overcooked. I was happy to walk away full of vegetables instead of cheese, and we paid about €35 including a glass of wine and a bottle of beer. I like the local beer they served, brewed in the Canary Islands.

After a wonderful morning walking around town visiting the indoor market, the lovely side streets…read more(such a colorful town), the main cathedral and the Replica of the Columbus ship Santa Maria (small museum inside), we were ready for lunch. I asked the woman at the museum for a restaurant recommendation. I told her we wanted to have a variety of tapas. She immediately suggested this place, in which she said it was one of her favorites. It was a 10-minute walk from the museum. We were able to get the last table outside under an umbrella. There were four of us, so we ordered a nice round of tapas: shrimp of the season, serrano ham, smoked fresh cheese (topped with large raisins), and chorizo, and bread right out of the oven. Along with that two of us had sangrias; the other two had beers. The sangrias were refreshing and a nice change from just drinking wine. The shrimp were very small and difficult to eat. One of my friends ate the entire shrimp (but not the head) stating he wasn't bothered by the shell. I much prefer the gambas al ajillo. Everything else was excellent. The juice from the chorizo was sopped with the bread. The cheese had a nice smoky flavor but not too heavy. Friendly service by our waiter. Over all, a great choice for lunch!
