Chipi-Chipi (Santa Cruz de la Palma)

Located off the trodden path uphill from Santa Cruz de la Palma, Chipi-Chipi's lush garden setting and excellent meat grills make for some great value, filling lunches. Meat comes with a side of ubiquitous Canarian wrinkly potatoes and dip sauces to go along.

Dining

Washed over by waters of the Atlantic, La Palma is an island whose cuisine relies on marine products, with fish, shrimp, shellfish, and octopus featured prominently on the restaurant menus. Meat is another local favorite, with a side dish of so-called "wrinkly potatoes" (papas arrugadas) with mojo sauce accompanying most meals. Quite a few restaurants serve tapas-sized small dishes, several of which may be necessary to satiate a moderate hunger.
