The Canary Islands are a paradise for foodies!
Do you want to discover a new cuisine and combine it with an unforgettable trip? Then the Canary Islands are a must-visit. This archipelago offers a unique mix of cuisines, resulting in delicious dishes with surprising and new flavors. Whether you’re going for a delicious local snack or want to enjoy an elaborate dinner accompanied by a locally produced glass of wine: you’ll always find something to your taste in the Canary Islands. We’d love to show you what you can expect and where to go.
Experience the different cultures on the individual islands
The Canary Islands offer a mix of Spanish, African and Latin American influences. It is precisely the combination of all these influences that gives the Canary Islands their unique charm. That doesn’t mean you’ll find the same food on every island—in fact, quite the opposite.
Popular destinations include Tenerife and Gran Canaria. Here, you can start your day with a ‘Tostada con tomate y aceite’; delicious toasted bread with tomato purée and olive oil. ‘Café con leche’ goes perfectly with this local breakfast. This Canarian coffee is served with condensed milk and cinnamon. You can also add a liqueur for extra flavor, if you like. Don’t forget to order a plate of fresh fruit as well; it’s a healthy taste sensation you really don’t want to miss.
Take your time over an extensive lunch
In the Canary Islands, lunch is the most important meal of the day. This is therefore the perfect time to enjoy a leisurely meal and sample even more delicious local dishes. Most restaurants offer a ‘menú del día’, which usually consists of two or three courses. As a starter, we recommend ‘gofia escaldado’, a traditional purée made from roasted grains. Then, for example, choose the local potatoes boiled in sea salt and served with red or green garlic sauce.
Queso asado
A popular choice is also ‘queso asado’; a dish of grilled goat’s cheese with honey or mojo. Are you vegan? You won’t have to miss out either. Most restaurants can also prepare the same dishes vegan-style. If you want to try special vegan dishes, head to Eco Eco Brunch & Cafe in La Laguna. They cook with seasonal ingredients, creating surprising and inspiring dishes time and again.
