La Palma Restaurant Reviews & Ratings Guide

While there are many restaurants on the island, we have focused on presenting the best and most promising 30 restaurants.

The cuisine of the Canary Islands is a mixture of some native Guanche elements, as well as Spanish, African and Latin American foods. Historically, the islands were the first stop on Spanish soil as ships returned from the Americas, and thus they began growing and incorporating foods from the Americas into their diet, such as potatoes, beans, tomatoes, avocados, papaya and maize cocoa. Other foods from around the globe were brought to the islands by sailors, and as a result the banana (of Asian origin) became a staple in the canarios diet, where it is served fried or made into tarts, served with rice, eggs or meat sauce.
