La Cuevita

La Gomera


Folded into a natural cave beside a small chapel at the west end of town, with leafy dangling plants, low lighting and earthy-red tablecloths, well-established La Cuevita serves Canarian wines alongside fine fresh local seafood – tuna, vieja (parrot fish), chocos (cuttlefish) – and grilled meats, all plated up with patatas arrugadas and tangy red mojo.
