This is the first restaurant as you come round the corner going into the town. A bit worn but kinda fits with the setting. Balcony with a lovely view & free parking. My wife had the Goats cheese salad & I had the prawn salad with avocado. Both were really nicely presented, nice dressing & better than we expected.
Fresh baked bread with mojo.
The price is higher than some other parts of the island but also remember where it’s situated, almost at the end of the north side of the island!!
The server  could be a little more friendly but the food & view made up for this!
Congrats to the lovely lady in the kitchen 👏🏼

Incredible food, amazing view. I had an octopus and it was exceptional so I had to come back the next day. This time I've ordered a fresh local fish Alfonsino, it was really, really good. It's a joke how good it was. 10/10
Oh and the view! Spectacular!

We'd opted to go to the La Ola, but as it was shut Saturday had to make another plan.

I'm glad we did, booked a table as the locale was getting busy (smart) and took a leisurely coast walk from La Roque De Bodegas  up the road and across Bonijo beach ⛱️ which was magical ✨️

My mate lives in Tenerife, so we opted for typical Canarian food.

Sea salted potatoes 🥔 came with delicious pesto dips. The bread was fresh and delicious.

He went for the Octopus which cut like butter and was laden in Olive oil. I took the fried sardines which were delicious. We ordered baby peppers 🌶 which came laden in salt and were delicious.

At one stage there was a concern we'd over ordered. Yeah it was greedy but man, one of the best meals had in recent memory.

The view is great with the balcony looking out across the sea past El Draguillo. It's a small intimate two person setup.

They are smashing it, and we made sure to thank from our hearts as we left, with eager eyes waiting to take our table.

Food with pride and love. Great location. Reasonable prices. Booking recommended.
