← All restaurants in Valle Gran Rey
As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
In Valle Gran Rey, traditional chefs from the Canary Islands work alongside dropouts who have lived in the valley on the west coast of La Gomera since the 1970s. El Palmar on Calle El Palmar has 376 reviews and a rating of 4.6 stars, whilst the vegetarian cuisine at Restaurante Esperanto on Calle El Carmen is paired with fresh fish from the port of Vueltas. The 12 best restaurants in Valle Gran Rey combine these two culinary traditions. Gofio features on the menu, as does Almogrote, a mature hard cheese. The selection ranges from Charco del Conde to La Calera.
Prices, opening times and local specialities
At lunchtime, the ‚Menú del día‘ costs between 10 and 14 euros for a three-course meal including a drink, often featuring the catch of the day from Vueltas. In the evening, prices rise and international cuisines take centre stage. Casa Ciro at Charco del Conde, like the beachside restaurants in La Playa, usually operates without the need for a booking. At Christmas and Easter, it’s worth giving them a ring in advance. You should have some cash to hand, as La Vizcaina at 83 Calle San Antonio in the higher part of town tends to prefer cash payments rather than card.
Tips for your visit
Valle Gran Rey’s 22 restaurants stretch from the harbour area up to the villages on the valley slopes. Paraíso del Mar, at C. La Playa 94, tops the ratings with 1,460 votes, followed by Casa Ciro with 1,020. Tables are set out in the open air amongst the palm trees at the bottom of the valley. Almogrote and gofio accompany the dishes from the Canary Islands served up by La Cuadra VGR in Borbalán and La Salsa on Calle Cta. de Abisinia.
Restaurants are clustered around the beach promenade in La Playa, where Mahalo and Más Burguer share C. la Playa with the Italian restaurant Il Grillo Parlante. Two pizzerias offer Italian fare. In the two cafés, locally produced palm honey – the thickened sap of the Canary Island date palm – is served. A single bar only opens in the evening. From the terraces, the view stretches across the green valley down to the sea.
