As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
The best restaurants in Hermigua serve traditional village fare rather than gourmet cuisine, right in the heart of La Gomera’s greenest valley. Five restaurants embody this style, including Terraza Restaurante Los Telares, which has 2,266 reviews and an average rating of 4.6 stars. The menus feature bananas from the plantations on the valley slopes, local goat’s cheese and gofio prepared in various ways. Anyone travelling along the island’s northern route stops here for lunch. Guests praise the value for money as exceptionally good, a view confirmed by Tasca Telémaco with 974 reviews.
Local cuisine amidst banana plantations and a monastery
The restaurants are clustered closely together around Plaza Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación and the El Patronato complex. Between 2 pm and 4 pm, lunchtime service is in full swing. The ‚menú del día‘ costs between 10 and 12 euros and includes a three-course meal with a drink. In the smaller establishments, guests are advised to pay in cash, for example at Bar San Juan Hermigua on Calle las Cabezadas. The menus are predominantly in Spanish, so a little knowledge of the language helps when ordering.
Tips for your visit
The five restaurants are scattered across the valley, some overlooking the terraced banana plantations. Los Herrera, on Plaza Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación, tops the ratings with 4.8 stars, albeit based on just 25 reviews. Palm honey, extracted from the sap of the Canary Islands date palm, often features on the menu. Restaurante El Faro on Ctra. Playa 15 specialises in fresh fish from the north coast.
Four bars line the main road, with several more near the church of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación. The Bar Restaurante Las Chácaras at El Cabo 2 has 1,433 reviews and fills its terrace in the afternoons with locals and walkers coming down from the mountains. Two cafés serve their coffee beneath the valley’s dense vegetation.
