La Casa del Volcán

Top choice in La Palma


This bodega's sophisticated restaurant is one of the best places on the island to enjoy innovative and exquisitely prepared Canarian dishes. The atmosphere is rustic yet refined, with an intimate dining room fronted by a wood-clad bar with barrel seating. Dishes include rabbit with red mojo (Canarian spicy sauce) with potatoes, goat-meat goulash or fresh fish of the day.

For dessert, try a bienmesabe (a paste of almonds and sugar) with lemon ice cream or a gofio mousse washed down with a sweet malvasía (Malmsey wine). To find it look for the elegant volcanic stone building just 200m from the Volcán San Antonio Visitor Centre. The bodega dates from 1919 and produces excellent wines; the owners also organise-wine tasting courses.
