Los Cipreses de La Casa Inglesa — Restaurant in Vilaflor

I can't rate this place highly enough. We've no idea just how many hundreds of lunches we've eaten on Spanish soil but both my wife and are agree that this is up there in the top five, if not on a podium spot. Booked via WhatsApp, based only on Google reviews and location, it turned out to be an absolute gem. Lots of Spanish classics, yet subtly tweaked and improved upon in many cases. My wife's duck was sumptuous and the accompanying sauce sticky, strongly flavoured and a perfect accompaniment. As for my plato principal. Bacalao. What can you say about bacalao? Not so much a fish as almost a religion in Spain. A North Atlantic species yet often available perfectly fresh, in the height of summer, in Castilla La Mancha, hundreds of miles from the sea. Here it's not so far perhaps from the sea, but do cod live this far south? I think not. Bacalao is always treated with a degree of reverence and this piece was no exception. Encebollado - white wine, onions, pimientos, garlic - as opposed to frito, cooked to perfection, flaky yet still slightly translucent. From Dorada tostada, through ingenious starters, exquisite mains, and excellent desserts, to the divine Mocay cortado. Great staff. Busy but not too rushed to share a little conversation. And all for under €60. Muy impresionante. EDIT: So damn good we went back this evening. Once again, an excellent meal and wonderful service. I'd stay an extra week just to eat here again, but sadly I need to go...

We ate here twice in the evening whilst staying in Vilaflor for 5 nights in the first week of November.

Friendly welcome on both occasions from the staff willing to have a chat to their customers. For those from UK I would describe the food as 'gastropub' level putting a modern twist on traditional local food and ingredients at VERY reasonable prices for the quality, portion sizes and general ambience. Quite a small menu (which I like, and mercifully paper not QR code), and all dishes very well thought out and offer more than their brief descriptions might suggest.

Tips: -Booking would have been advisable on a Saturday evening although they squeezed us in. -The potato salad is excellent! -Note the evening closing times. My impression was that Vilaflor seems to have a busy lunchtime service due to passing tourist traffic but is quieter in the evenings - many places in the town including this restaurant close a little earlier than you might expect.

All in all a great little restaurant which is clearly having a great start since it opened earlier this year and deserves its string of 5...

We recently dined at Los Cipreses de La Casa Inglesa and was thoroughly charmed by its authentic Canarian vibe. The restaurant has a cozy setup with an outdoor terrace to enjoy the sun, a covered one for cooler days, and a snug indoor area with a handful of tables that feels just right for a relaxed meal.

What really stood out was the service; the team was genuinely kind and eager to make our experience special. They're doing everything right to make you feel welcomed.

For food, the vegetarian options are plentiful and delightful. The Potaje, a traditional Canarian soup, was a hearty and flavorful start. And don't even get me started on the mushroom croquettes - they're a must-try for their authentic taste!

Ending the meal with a Barraquito, a local twist on tiramisu, was a perfect choice. It's not just a dessert; it's an experience - rich and satisfying.

Big thanks to the team at Los Cipreses for their wonderful hospitality. This spot is a great find for anyone looking to enjoy genuine Canarian dishes with plenty of vegetarian options in a warm and...
