Tasca Catalina (El Paso)

Upholding the La Palma tradition of eateries with a view, Tasca Catalina is set at an elevation and offers al fresco terrace seating overlooking the hillsides and water. Order a few tapas plates to share (five or so must be enough to feed a party of two) and sample a few dishes at once.

Cafes

Canary Islands' signature coffee is known as "barraquito" – a sweet concoction containing a shot of espresso, condensed and regular milk, and, typically, a few drops of Cuarenta y Tres – a Spanish liquor made with 43 ingredients (hence the name), such as fruit juices, herbs, and vanilla extract. Some establishments work with actual citrus shavings and put their own spin on the iconic classic. To savour a top-notch cup of coffee, try Cafe de Don Manuel in Santa Cruz, which is run by an award-winning barista, or head uphill to one of the island's hillside panoramic terrace bars for a snack with a view.
