A favourite for fresh smoothies, açai bowls and great coffee. Perfect after a walk along the promenade.

Le Bistro (Corralejo Old Town)
A charming spot for pastries, fresh bread and a slow morning breakfast.

Casa Marcos (Villaverde)
A true local gem. This traditional Canarian restaurant serves homemade dishes with a creative twist. The goat stew and croquettes are a must-try.

Casual, affordable and always excellent. Fresh fish, papas arrugadas and friendly service make it a favourite among locals.

Uga Uga (Corralejo)
Great for meat dishes, grilled specialties and a cozy atmosphere.

Local Tips and Hidden Spots
