Casa Goyo Restaurant

Next to Chipi Chipi, two typical restaurants that have to try on your trip to La Palma.

What a surprise! The first positive thing about it is its proximity to the airport. Just 10 to 12 minutes after your plane lands you can be sitting in their typical cabana and ordering some food.

Don’t expect anything luxurious, as it’s a typical, local restaurant/bar. Various fried fish, battered fish, potatoes with mojo sauce, cooked cheese with mojo sauce, all the typical dishes from the area (all delicious). It’s perfect to accompany them with a cold Dorada beer (or two) and a great desert, the Prince Albert (doesn’t contain alcohol).

A local from La Palma recommended Casa Goyo to us, saying: if you’re hungry after your 2 hour flight to La Palma, head straight to Casa Goyo, a mythical bar with over 40 years of history that was made famous by the construction workers from the airport. It’s well known in La Palma, especially for their fish.

There’s no regular menu, it depends on what they have that day, but the waiter will help you with your order. The restaurant is interesting, it has a couple small areas that seem like reserved areas and a bigger dining room. If you get a table on the terrace, you’ll enjoy views of the sea during your meal. Not a luxurious place, the table cloths are made of paper.

If you come by plane, this is the best place to eat, next to the airport. Delicious fresh fish, calamari, shrimp…everything at a good price and with good service. I have eaten there more than once and I will go back the day I fly back home.
