Restaurante Bimbache

El Hierro


Fishing nets hang from the ceiling and tables come dressed in white cloths at this smartish nautical-feel seafooder tucked into a backstreet corner. Dishes are presented with flair and the menu is more creative than most on El Hierro, with original preparations running from panko-wrapped king prawns and grilled-goat's-cheese salad drizzled with mojo to grouper in lemon sauce.
