La Higuera de Abuela — Restaurant in Valverde

The restaurant it's very cozy. The garden is beautiful and the atmosphere makes you feel like taking a seat, resting and enjoying the food. We ordered salad with cheese and nuts, grilled cheese with honey and mojo, lapas and croquettes (chicken and fish) for starters and as a main sirloin with apple salsa & grilled fish (kind of tuna). To drink we tried UWE ecological dry white wine and local beer. For dessert we had merengon. The food was fresh and we enjoyed it. As I don't eat meat I order fish. It was well done, but it appeared I'm not a fan of this type, prefer fatter ones. I would also prefer green mojo with coriander, but I think it was made with parsley, which changes the taste a bit. My friends ordered meat and it was very well prepared, soft and tender. As far as drinks: wine and beer was really good. And we all enjoy our dessert. Not heavy, not to sweat. Really delicious. I would recommend the place for lunch / dinner. It's quite busy, so don't forget to call and...

Passing through the iron gate to La Higuera de Abuela, we entered a beautiful tropical garden with plenty of shade and comfy tables. On the first visit (without reservation) we were accommodated at a table "inside" (which is almost in the garden), a second visit with reservation placed us right under a beautiful tree.

The place is quite busy (all tables occupied) but never feels stressed or cramped. All the food we had (croquetas, papas arrugatas, fish, beef sirloin, salad, pimientos de padrón, ...) on both visits came quickly and freshly to the table and were delicious, all for a very fair price tag.

Service was very prompt, cheerful and friendly, recognizing us on subsequent visits 😊

Most likely going to go again -...

A lovely place with friendly service, but I'd say the food was overpriced and ok, but nothing too good. The shrimp cocktail was even a bit oversauced and the shrimps had little taste. The croquetas were average, the falafel was standing a bit out unexpectedly tasty. The beef meet, the solomillo was a properly cooked, but the meat quality didn't excel or compare to other places on the island. The rabbit was very dry and chewy, though the taste itself was quite good. Overall, we came with quite high expectations regarding food, and while the place is magical, we left kind of disappointed. Food quality doesn't justify the prices, but maybe the service and the place does, depends on what you're...
