Mealtimes in the Canary Islands set the pace. At lunchtime, between 2 pm and 4 pm, the terraces fill up. In the evening, kitchens often don’t open until around 8 pm. The ‚menú del día‘ offers a three-course lunch, including a drink, for around 12 to 14 euros and is better value than ordering à la carte. Menus are often displayed in Spanish only. A few key words will make ordering easier. Bar La Puesta on Calle Marinero prefers to be paid in cash. Outside the peak season, there’s always a table available, but it gets busy at Easter and in August.
