Be aware of prices, opening times and local customs
At lunchtime, the ‚menú del día‘ in established restaurants costs between 10 and 14 euros for a three-course meal including a drink. The main hot meal is usually served between 2 pm and 4 pm, whilst dinner rarely begins before 9 pm. Restaurants that open as early as 6 pm are aimed at holidaymakers. At Tasca Enyesque on Calle Santiago Apóstol, the menu is often in Spanish only. Smaller guachinches in remote villages accept cash only; cards are rarely accepted there.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vegetarian options do restaurants in La Gomera offer?
On La Gomera, vegetarian dining is usually a matter of sticking to the classics. Papas arrugadas with mojo, gofio dishes and vegetable stews are regular features on the menus of the 98 restaurants. The island’s signature palm honey, made from the sap of the Canary Islands date palm, accompanies cheese and meat-free desserts. Larger towns such as San Sebastián and Valle Gran Rey offer additional meat-free dishes, such as those at Tasca Enyesque on Calle Santiago Apóstol.
When is the best time to visit the restaurants in La Gomera?
After a hike through the laurel forests of Garajonay National Park, hearty fare featuring palm honey and local cheese is just the thing – for example, at Restaurante la Fortaleza in Chipude. In coastal towns such as Valle Gran Rey, early evening is the perfect time to enjoy fresh fish by the Atlantic. The cooler months from October to April call for warm stews in the island’s mountainous interior.
When are restaurants in La Gomera open?
Opening times vary depending on the location and type of restaurant. Many restaurants are open for lunch from around 12 noon to 3 pm and for dinner from 7 pm to 10 pm. In Valle Gran Rey and San Sebastián, kitchens often remain open throughout the day. The mountain villages have shorter opening hours, so it’s best to ring ahead. Establishments such as Los Herrera Restaurante in Hermigua operate according to the rhythms of their local community.
