Agulo is one of the oldest villages on La Gomera and lies in a valley on the north coast, surrounded by steep cliffs. The best restaurants in Agulo are spread across six establishments – that’s all the village needs. Tasca Taguara iré tops the ratings with 4.9 stars, whilst Restaurante Las Rosas has garnered almost 2,000 reviews. The dishes are prepared using Gomeran goat’s cheese and Almogrote, the island’s spicy cheese paste. Fresh fish comes from the coast. Rather than a wide selection, what you’ll find here is local cuisine served in just a few dining rooms.
Restaurants in Agulo: Authentic, affordable, unforgettable
Between 2 pm and 4 pm, kitchens are at their busiest; you’ll often find a ‚menú del día‘ on the menu for around 10 to 12 euros. The Restaurante Alameda in Casa Tomasin at C. La Alameda 2 is one of the top spots for traditional Canary Islands home cooking. Paying in cash makes a visit to these small eateries easier, and knowing a few words of Spanish helps too. Almogrote is well worth a try, along with the island’s mild goat’s cheese. Anyone visiting Garajonay National Park likes to stop off in Agulo on the way back.
Tips for your visit
Tasca Taguara iré is in the Las Rosas neighbourhood at number 171 and boasts a top rating of 4.9 stars. Just a few steps away, Restaurante Las Rosas at C. Rosas 274 has racked up almost 2,000 reviews, so two very different establishments are clustered together in the same neighbourhood. Terraces open out onto the sea between the old stone houses; on clear days, Tenerife, with Mount Teide, is visible on the horizon.
Restaurante La Vieja Escuela and Restaurante La Zula are both on Calle Poeta Trujillo Armas and Carretera General in the village centre. There, the humid air drifts in from the nearby Garajonay laurel forest. The village’s only café serves barraquito and Canarian coffee; its view of Mount Teide is unrivalled in the Canary Islands.
