Bar Ca Fermín — Restaurant in Valsequillo de Gran Canaria

One night, we drove past Bar Ca Fermin. The doors opened, locals outside were smoking cigarettes and talking to each other. On the inside, people were enjoying the evening together at Fermin´s bar. This bar seemed like the perfect place to experience the Canarian food and we were right.

Eventhough the other guests and Fermin could cleary recognize us as tourists, we didn´t feel unwelcomed. After setting foot in the Bar, Fermin gave us a warm heartfelt greeting and made us feel at home instantly. Instead of letting us order things in vain, he informed us well about the menu and even gave us some insight in his wife´s cooking process. Have I mentioned that none of us guests could speak spanish? Yet, there was no language barrier. Fermin is a man that speaks with his heart, as his meals are cooked with a love you could taste. The food was just perfect. We ordered a plethora of meals and shared everything. While tasting the goat meat, it melted away in your mouth. The gambas with garlic came in a pan still sizzling. I savoured every bit of the garlic oil with my bread, cherished every drop of mojo until, not only my stomach was filled, but until my soul was filled, too. Fermin was always interested in our opinion of his food and looking out for our needs. But it didn´t feel like a mere service. It was a sincere gesture of Canarian hospitality. So naturally after finishing our meals, Fermin treated us to a Canarian speciality - Ron Miel.

Dear Fermin, thank you for making this an unforgettable evening with friends! I´m already looking forward to come here again. Best wishes from Saskia, Frederik,...

How often do we read reviews and try to imagine or interpret whether the hostelry might be to our liking? All too often! We simply delayed rather too long before trying Ca' Fermin. In my humble opinion any bar that right up front offers a local island white as it's house wine is off to a very, very good start. The menu is short by design in order to allow a small kitchen and incredibly welcoming host to focus on the quality of each and every dish. Everything here is selected, cooked and presented with care and simple perfection. The bread is local, served warm with an exquisite homemade alioli. The cheeses are local and delicious. The seafood salad with prawns teaches practically any beach bar the way it should be made. The fries are hand cut and homemade. I could go on. You can taste and feel the pride and pleasure behind a tiny but professional team. Maybe it was just my imagination but even the coffee rounding off lunch was just perfectly drawn. It is basic by its own design and admission. But don't let it's humble setting or simple menu distract you from what most restaurants would benefit from thoroughly revisiting... a clear focus on quality ingredients, simply prepared and lovingly presented with humility and a true desire to please! We have found a new...
