Beside the seaside...

If there's one place that you can rely on finding great food in Las Americas, it's along the seafront. The cafes and restaurants are vast and varied and all have both daytime and evening menus to ensure a good meal whatever time you choose to dine.


With its large outside seating area just a pebble's throw from the sea, the Royal Garden restaurant is a wonderfully relaxing venue for an afternoon snack. A special is Canarian soup, made with mixed vegetables and flavoured with paprika. It's nicely thick and spicy and at €4.50 is perfect to tide you over until dinner.


I have always been somewhat of a fish and seafood fanatic, spending many an evening attempting to impersonate Rick Stein (in terms of cooking, that is, not appearance). Therefore, this Mejillones Marinera dish, served at the Little Italy restaurant is an ideal treat. The mussels are cooked in a wine, garlic and chilli salsa and at €5.75 it's excellent value for a dinner dish.


Great local food and fresh sea air are an irresistible combination on a sunny afternoon and there's nothing left to do now but sit back and relax.
