Restaurante La Almena de San Miguel — Restaurant in Garachico

Here’s an updated review that includes the ocean view:

An Exceptional Dining Experience with Stunning Ocean Views!

I recently visited this restaurant and was absolutely blown away by the combination of delicious food, warm service, and breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a place that truly offers more than just a meal—it’s an experience.

Papas Arrugadas (Cooked Potatoes): The traditional Canary Island potatoes were perfectly prepared, with their signature salty crust and served with flavorful mojo sauces. A must-try for anyone seeking authentic local cuisine.

Grilled Prawns: The prawns were fresh, juicy, and seasoned beautifully. The smoky grilled flavor, paired with a fresh salad and tangy sauce, made this dish unforgettable.

Canarian Soup: This hearty soup was bursting with flavor and authenticity. Each spoonful felt like a warm hug, showcasing the rich culinary heritage of the islands.

The service was exceptional. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about making the experience memorable. They provided excellent recommendations and made sure everything was perfect.

To top it all off, the ocean view from the restaurant was stunning. Sitting by the window, enjoying the meal while gazing at the sparkling waves and listening to the soothing sounds of the sea, made the dining experience magical. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing and scenic meal.

I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the area. The combination of fantastic food, top-notch service, and unbeatable views will leave you wanting to return. An...

Hoy estaba en el tour en autobús por el Gran Teide y Masca, donde también paramos en Garachico, un pequeño pueblo de pescadores donde un volcán destruyó todo el puerto en 1706. Comimos en este gran restaurante, regentado por una familia y comida súper deliciosa. Personal amable y rápido. Un menú completo con entrante y plato principal con bebida incluida por 14,00€ por persona. Teníamos sopa de pescado y chuleta de cerdo con patatas fritas. Opcionalmente se incluye en el precio una copa de cerveza o vino. Muy recomendable . Fue fantástico que el camarero más joven también hablara algunas palabras en alemán. Desafortunadamente, faltaba el asiento del inodoro, por lo que tengo que restar un punto por el ambiente.

Heute war ich auf der Grand El Teide und Masca Bustour , da machten wir auch halt in Garachico, einem kleinen Fischerdorf, in dem 1706 ein Vulkan den kompletten Hafen zerstört hat. Wir aßen in diesem klasse Restaurant, von der Familie geführt und super leckeres Essen. Freundliches und schnelles Personal. Ein ganzes Menü mit Vorspeise und Hauptgericht samt Getränk für 14.00 € pro Person. Wir hatten die Fischsuppe und ein Schweinekotlett mit Pommes. Wahlweise ist im Preis inklusive ein Glas Bier oder Wein. Sehr empfehlenswert . Toll war das der jüngere Kellner auch ein paar Worte deutsch konnte. Auf dem WC fehlte leider die Toilettenbrille wo ich beim Ambiente ein Punkt...

I highly recommend the restaurant, after a long day of swimming in the Garachico natural pools, just walk across the street and enjoy some good seafood (they also have a few alternatives for non-seafood lovers). Grilled octopus and steak (pork) were excellent. The octopus was nicely prepared and tasty, as was the steak. The terrace can be a bit crowded at lunchtime. The ambiance reminds me of a fisherman's canteen, in a good way. The waiters are energetic...
