Where to Eat in Garachico

One of Garachico’s traditional dishes is the ‘guiso de vieja”’ a popular white rock fish. Other fish found in many of Garachico’s restaurants are grouper, mackerel, tuna and sea bream, not forgetting octopus and shellfish.

You will often find goat on the menu and, if well prepared, tastes somewhat like lamb and is delicious. Do check out reviews though, especially if you are trying goat meat for the first time. Badly prepared, it can be mostly bone and sinew.
