La Raiz Del Verol - Vega de San Mateo

We had dinner three times and enjoyed it every time. Unfortunately, the restaurant offers dinner only on Saturday. Seems to be more popular during lunch. The restaurant offers a nice menu and a variety of daily specials. Everything is worth trying it and different from other local restaurants. We can recommend the croquettes as appetiser. Our favourite main was the rabbit (tender and boneless) stuffed with black pudding (morcilla) in a port wine sauce. One of the best deserts is the crepe with apple filling. Last but not least we enjoyed the friendly service.

We entered this restaurant having hiked and camped for two and a half days, without showers, conscious that we were hugely underdressed. Other restaurants that we had visited on the island had more of a bar vibe but this is definitely a classy affair. Nevertheless, we were warmly welcomed by an Italian waiter who spoke perfect English (phew! and explained the menu options to us. All the dishes were made with locally sourced ingredients and the chef's attention to detail really shone through. Divine !

Excellent food and great service! We were warmly welcomed although we were a bit early according to Spanish standards (8 pm). Menu offers a lot of choice, completed with some special suggestions. We chose for the latter and had absolutely no regrets: well prepared and very tasty dishes accompanied by an excellent local wine.

Muy recomendable. Platos ricos y elaborados con cocina Canaria, buen producto y mejor servicio en mesa
