As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
There are seven restaurants in Almacén, and you won’t find the best ones along the seafront promenade. Restaurante San Antonio del Monte has 452 reviews and a 4.5-star rating because it’s packed with locals at lunchtime. The dishes on offer are what the people of La Palma themselves eat: fish from the Atlantic, grilled meat, accompanied by Canarian coffee and palm honey. The Dapaolo Restaurante & Grill on the Carretera General Empalme Tajuya has a 4.8-star rating. Nobody is looking for high-end dining here, and that is precisely what gives the place its character.
Local cuisine, fair prices, no tourist crowds
The Menú del día is served between 2 pm and 4 pm, offering a three-course meal including a drink for between 10 and 14 euros. Prices rise in the evening, and many local restaurants close altogether then. Menus are mainly in Spanish, and smaller establishments such as Restaurante Dapaolo on Cam. de Tacande prefer to accept cash. Outside April and August, you don’t need to book a table; popping in for lunch on the spur of the moment is the local custom. El Mirador on Ctra. la Costa Cerca Vieja has over 14,000 reviews and is the exception when it comes to crowds.
Tips for your visit
El Mirador attracts the largest crowds, with 14,383 reviews; right next door, the Food Market Restaurant and Restaurante Origen share the same address on Ctra. la Costa Cerca Vieja. Fresh fish finds its way into the kitchens, whilst papas arrugadas with mojo accompany the main courses. In the early evening, the alleyway smells of fried garlic.
Five bars line the town centre, their counters stocked with glasses of local beer and Barraquito. The Restaurante La Gaviota on C. la Fajana has a rating of 4.3 stars based on 1,262 reviews. A single ice-cream parlour attracts families in the afternoon, and in the café the staff serve cortado for breakfast whilst the regulars sit inside.
