Grill Secadero - Los Llanos de Aridane

The cars parked by the roadside, close to a wine tasting gave us a clue there was something special. We stopped and saw people go down a path through a garden to a round house. Inside the walls were bands of white and black with rocks. A bar in the middle and tables around the sides. The menu in three languages, Spanish, German and English. I had an unusual dish of salt fish, sweet potatoes, canary potatoes and banana. It was very filling. A lemon dessert for afters I shared with my wife. Glad we made the effort to find it after we saw it in the morning.

The restaurant isn't located in Los Llanos de Aridane but in Las Manchas (close to the vine museum). The restaurant is visited mainly by locals, the staff don't know English but they try to be helpful. When I asked about canarian soup he wasn't able to explain me the dish but showed me it! Nice tapas on the beginning and very good main course. The restaurant is located in round building made from lava stones, looks very dark inside but very clean (mainly toilets)

We were on a taxi tour and our driver suggested a coffee stop at this delightful little bar/café hidden away in a dip in the hillside. We would like to have stayed for something to eat but time did not permit. Sat outside and enjoyed the view.

The restaurant has a special, round, design. While the tourists were having their dinner at the tables at the round wall, the locals gathered at the bar in the centre for a drink and a chat. Food was good and waiters were nice and friendly.

We ate there on two evenings during visit to La Palma. Both times were fairly busy, with a mix of locals and visitors (mainly German Dutch . Menu is written in several languages. Portions are a good size,(especially the starters which are big enough for two !! . Wine list is extensive, and mostly local wines. The food was excellent, and the prices very reasonable. Service was attentive, but not at all pushy . Highly recommended.
