Vega - Ingenio

Authentic Canarian recipes with the view of mountains. This gem of a restaurant is worth driving up the hills for. Restaurante Vega (Guayadeque)

This restaurant has amazing views from the terrace. The food is excellent great value. My Veal Stew was delicious was less than £6.00. Others had Grilled Pork Steaks with Garlic at the same price. All dishes came with fries. The service was friendly. Definitely the place to go for lunch in Guayadeque!

This restaurant is actually in a cave and you can sit in the cave quite comfortably. However we sat on the outside terrace which has a view down a dry river bed to the ocean. The service was prompt, friendly and efficient and the food was excellent. It is also a very good area for walking.

Drove here as part of a tour of the island and had a pleasant lunch Friday 19th. Was served by a very kind and polite waiter. I had the fish tacos/fish cubes and was fine afterwards but started to feel a bit unwell 3 hours later. Went out for dinner in Playa Del Ingles later in the evening but had vegan food. Vomited profusely at 5am and then again at 9pm the same day. I suspect the fish was not well prepared and has resulted in food poisoning. Approach with caution

The drive to get here is spectacular. Once here, you enter a cave building though if you go to the very back you encounter daylight again, with a little balcony offering great views down the gorge back to the coast. They have menus in different languages and we ordered from the starters menu (tapas style stuff). Between 2 adults and 2 kids we ordered four tapas plus bread and this was more than enough! They were big plates. This made it a relatively cheap meal (36 euros) compared to our typical Gran Canaria meal which came in more like 47 euros pretty consistently. Tasty stuff, would recommend it although don 't expect miracles from the food. Its good honest tapas in a unique location with a mega view.
