Fine dining at its best. Octopus with purple potato was super tasty. We normally eat our salad along the main course so we asked to have it served together. We drank wine by a glass and the red was great. A teenager with a need for proteins ordered double chicken nuggets and couldn't eat everything. If you want to get fed when eating, don't take ravioli. The portion of 4, even 6 is laughable, unless you eat as a little bird. Service was extremely friendly and all spoke English. You should get a reservation unless you want to dine in a beautiful dungeon ;-)

Unacceptable! My girlfriend and I made a reservation at this place to celebrate a special occasion. When we got there, they were hosting a group of people that took their own music to the restaurant, and the music was very loud reggaeton. Night club style, you could actually hear it from inside the car before parking. I don't understand how they allow such thing having accepted other reservations for the same date and time. But that wasn't all, it gets worse.
We got into the restaurant to inform we were the ones who had the reservation but we obviously wouldn't stay because the whole place smelled like alcohol and the music was so loud that it was hard to talk. They told us not to worry because they had a table for us downstairs. We went down to see the table and we could hear the music downstairs just as much as upstairs. The waiter offered to close the door, which wouldn't solve the music issue but would mean we would have dinner enclosed in a basement.
We refused the offer and said that was unacceptable, and their reply was "we didn't know they would bring music". Excuse me? How about not allowing such pandemonium in a supposed high class, intimate, special, awarded restaurant?
We said we would be leaving and they made a noticeable effort to say "we're sorry". We could see how hard it was for them to say that, looking the other way, not feeling any sorrow at all.
I am sure I'll never come back there or recommend it to anyone ever again.

Very good food, professional although not very friendly staff in a somewhat tight but cozy venue.
The highlight is undoubtedly the food, which was outstanding. The service was good, and while not friendly, were efficient. The food did take a little while to be served, but was well worth the wait.
Booking is a must, since it's very popular and the interior is not very big.
I would say it's a must if you are anywhere on the island.

Great service and atmosphere - clearly a spot loved by many a local! We enjoyed their potatoes with rabbit a lot, this was great. Their tartar was also excellent. However, they were out of slow cooked pork when we arrived (@8pm) and so suggested we try their beef instead. This was VERY dry and we pretty much left this dish untouched. As feedback to the chef, if you made it less dry the dish itself came together well. But when we ate it last night (21/12/23) it was truly very very dry and practically inedible, hence the slightly lower rating on the food. Pictured in my review is the beef itself which as you can see is presented very nicely. Also I must admit we chose wine by the glass as we drove here, and the options were limited to two wines both of which were bad. If you like full bodied wine, you won’t find it by the glass here

We had a nice time here with some exquisite food. Vegan and gluten-free options are also available and tasty too. Just tell the staff and they can do some custom adjustments just for you. Hygienic concept is in place and followed by orderly. Prices are affordable, maybe just a bit more pricey. You should do an reservation to be sure to get a place here.

Casa Osmunda is housed in a beautifully restored Canarian colonial-style house, offering a blend of traditional and modern Canarian cuisine.

Casa Osmunda: A Culinary Heritage in Breña Alta, Tenerife, Spain.

Nestled in the charming town of Breña Alta on the picturesque island of Tenerife, Spain, Casa Osmunda stands as a beacon of culinary excellence and cultural heritage. Housed in a stately colonial-style building, this iconic restaurant has been captivating food enthusiasts since its inception in 2007. Founded by the visionary José Carlos Fonte Viña, Casa Osmunda combines the rich flavors of traditional Canarian cuisine with modern culinary innovations, making it an essential destination for food lovers and travelers seeking an authentic taste of the Canary Islands.

José Carlos Fonte Viña acquired the historic Casa de Doña Osmunda, embarking on extensive renovations to transform the property into a premier dining establishment. This foundational effort laid the groundwork for what would become a landmark in La Palma’s gastronomy scene. When Casa Osmunda officially opened in 2007, it brought a groundbreaking culinary vision to life: marrying traditional Canarian dishes with a fresh, contemporary twist. This innovative approach honored local food heritage while appealing to modern palates.

By 2010, Casa Osmunda had introduced some of its most beloved signature dishes that blend Canarian traditions with inventive flavors. Notably, the foie gras grilled to perfection served alongside sweet batata bread, tart apple compote, and rich cane honey became a standout favorite. This dish exemplifies the restaurant’s dedication to using local and organic ingredients, presenting them with culinary artistry that delights both locals and visitors.

Casa Osmunda’s reputation for excellence was further elevated through collaborations with distinguished chefs who brought fresh perspectives and cutting-edge techniques. In 2015, the celebrated Fernando Ximénez-Cruz joined forces with the team, invigorating the menu and enhancing the dining experience with innovative culinary creations. Later, in 2020, Germán Blanco’s arrival infused the kitchen with avant-garde expertise, enriching the restaurant’s offerings and ensuring it remained at the forefront of Tenerife’s gastronomic landscape.

Today, Casa Osmunda offers a warm and inviting atmosphere within its stone-lined, red-hued interiors, creating an intimate setting for guests to savor exceptional Spanish cuisine. The restaurant’s focus on local, organic products and thoughtful preparation has earned it acclaim among gourmands and travelers alike. Whether indulging in a glass of notable Canarian wine or exploring the rich flavors of expertly crafted dishes, visitors experience a genuine connection to Tenerife’s culinary roots and evolving food culture.
