Guidebook for El Médano
Food and view
Great food, drinks and service. Lovely view in Montaña Roja. Booking recommended.
Vegan/veg friendly. We recommend fried batata, fried aubergines, spinach - all directly from local farmers - or mushrooms croquetas as tapas.
Good wine selection.
All other dishes we tried are made with love and care. Ideal for solo travelers, couples and groups. Excellent and unique in El Medano.

Cheap fresh fish everyday and quite generous portions. We recommend chopitos fritos or grilled local cheese and papas arrugadas as starters; fresh grilled fish of the day; grilled octopus. Not all at once unless you are starving.

Food scene
Best sweet breakfast and great options for tasty packed lunch. Near the TF1 roundabout in San Isidro. Everything is great and fresh but the best time to go is the morning: then you can get a coffee and try whatever the pastry chef just prepared…

Family run restaurant. High quality of products and cooking. Everything is excellent. Pescatarians and Omnivores.
Our suggestions:
- Croquetas:
* Shrimps - heavenly
* Mushrooms - Best in town with Tanteo’s
* Cabral - Delicacy for strong cheese lovers - ask for extra arandano jam
Tostas
One for 2/3 ppl is perfect as opening if you had croquetas before. Aubergines and Octopus tostas are unique and very good.
Main dishes
We recommend: tuna tartare,
bacalao a la gallega, pulpo, seafood, and daily dishes: they are a certainty.
Just behind the corner from home. Great place in windy days because it’s far from the beach.

A good option for non vegetarians from breakfast to dinner. Classic meat and Spanish dishes.
Locals gather here for the classic breakfast: toasted bread with Serrano ham, tomato, olive oil; orange juice and coffee.
The tapas are also recommended: freshly made tortillas with several choices is a must here.
