Six restaurants serve the town of Vallehermoso in the north of La Gomera, without putting on a show for tourists. Restaurante Agana on Avenida Guillermo Ascanio Moreno has 509 reviews, whilst Hotel Rural Tamahuche on Calle la Hoya boasts a 4.4-star rating. The 11 best restaurants in Vallehermoso specialise in traditional Canary Islands home cooking, Gomero goat’s cheese and meat prepared according to old recipes. Palm honey, made from the sap of the Canary Islands date palm, is drizzled over fried cheese. Almogrote, the spicy paste made from hard cheese, is a staple on every table. You’ll struggle to find prices like these anywhere else on the island.
Eating out in Vallehermoso: affordable, authentic, unpretentious
Between 2 pm and 4 pm, Vallehermoso showcases its most hearty cuisine. The ‚menú del día‘ often costs less than 10 euros and includes three courses plus a drink. The menus are almost exclusively in Spanish, and staff rarely speak English. In the restaurants around the Plaza de Chipude, cash is preferred to cards. There’s no need for bookings; guests come to the natural pool and stay on for lunch on the spur of the moment. The Restaurante La Laguna Grande is tucked away in the national park and requires you to find your own way there.

Tips for your visit
The six restaurants are scattered throughout the town centre; from some tables, the view extends to Roque Cano, which rises volcanically above the rooftops. The Restaurante TAMAHUCHE on Calle San Pedro serves Almogrote as a starter to its guests. In the deep valleys all around, the Canary Islands date palm thrives, its sap drizzled as palm honey over fried goat’s cheese. Salud y suerte on Av. Guillermo Ascanio Moreno serves fish caught off the nearby coast.
Five bars line the narrow alleyways and the plaza. Tasca El Carraca on Calle Vallehermoso leads the field with 1,474 reviews, whilst Hotel Bar Sonia on Plaza de Chipude scores 4.6 stars.
