Villaverde: Fuerteventura’s culinary secret
Lunchtime is the busiest time of day here. Between 2 pm and 4 pm the tables fill up; the ‚menú del día‘ costs between 10 and 14 euros for a three-course meal including a drink. The menus are usually only available in Spanish, so knowing a few basic phrases will help. Small family-run establishments like Manduca Villaverde at number 57 prefer to accept cash. During the week, every guest can be accommodated without a booking. At weekends during the high season and around Easter, it’s worth giving them a call in advance, as Mahoh – with its 2,187 reviews – attracts many visitors from out of town at these times.
