We had been trying a number of the restaurants in the neighborhood of Tijarafa, but this one is by…read morefar the best. It offers very nice food, the waiters are friendly and attentive and -last but not least- the view is breathtaking during the evening hours. Even when sitting inside, the slightly elevated tables guarantee that you have a nice view from the second seat row. I can only recommend it!

We came off our cruise ship after our excursion was canceled looking for some authentic local…read morecuisine. Restaurants were just past the cruise terminal gate. 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 stopped at La Placeta Restaurant for lunch and had a great tapas meal. It's a wonderful Spanish…read moretapas restaurant located right on the main shopping street. 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.

Had a night cap with great friends, tonight at El Bucanero. Like many of the beach bars along the…read moreboardwalk, seating is always first come, first serve. So get there a bit early or scope out a party that's about the leave. The red hair waitress was friendly and cheerful. We sat and chatted for about 2 hours with no pressure to leave. In the background we were entertained by a guitarist, singing Spanish songs. Was he good? I'm no judge. Was he entertaining? Certainly so. Bucanero's drink menu has a great selection of vodka and rum cocktails and liqueur. They also have an interesting collection of tea from different regions. The restaurant/ bar also serve breakfast and lunch. This is certainly a cute place for drinks and people watching.

When all the seats were occupied and the waiting time was not worth the wait at all the restaurants…read moreand bars on Paseo Maritimo strip, our party decided to walk down to the beach to the closest bar. Little that we know, we'd find a sweet spot of a beach bar! All throughout our holiday in La Palma, I wanted a margarita...finally! Jackpot! Love on The Beach was it! Finally on our last day on the island, I get to have a margarita! There were seating- with no wait! The bartenders were great! Service with a smile is always an great reason to stay and have another drink! The night was beautiful and the company was irreplaceable. Love on The Beach is the 2nd beach bar, if you are walking from Hotel Sol La Palma. The 1st beach bar is overcrowded and is much too loud, forcing people to shout. Love on The Beach has music but low enough so you can enjoy a drink and a decent conversation with your friends. This is definitely a beach bar I would frequent on my next visit to La Palma.

The super friendly servers here are very willing to work with non-Spanish speakers. Went here…read moretwice. The wines were fine, and the food was mediocre but certainly edible. Prices were fair. Could not find the restrooms either time I was here. The reason I would go here is to observe local dinner culture in a place where tourists feel welcome.

Excellent wine, excellent service, just take a plate of jamon. Taste the "mojito" as dessert ;)read more
