“ You are in the square. Tables are cast in metal in fancy shapes, as well as tables. Spanish music fills the space with gentle tunes. The Spanish omelette was like a fluffy delight. Ensalada/ salad with lettuce, avocado and mandarins dressed great. Just look at the photo and try yourself if you ever visit Santa Cruz de La Palma in my opinion it's the greatest breakfast so far. ”

“ Very friendly service and good sandwiches in this Venezuelan restaurant at the edge of a small plaza. No frills but very reasonable prices and a down to earth atmosphere. ”
“ The bar Arepera was a recommendation from a friend who's living in la gomera. I was only one and a half days in Santa Cruz. I visited the place three times, that's how good it is. The prices, super fair. The food, fresh. The juice, delicious. The hot sauce, a local Canary brand, a very good one. The coffee, very recommendable. In total, a great place if you're in need for something delicious. Hint: if you're bothered by the flies outside, go inside, great music, nice interior and flair. ”
