The Canary Islands morning coffee break lasts until around 11 am, after which the lunch menu takes over. Coffee is often served with quesillo or local pastries. At Bar Cafetería Central and Cafetería Dinámico, guests prefer to pay in cash, even though cards are usually accepted. Away from the tourist centres, menus in German or English are almost nowhere to be found, so a knowledge of Spanish will come in handy at the David Rodriguez Café or El Secreto. Freshly prepared fish dishes from the area around the old harbour are also on offer.
