Restaurante la Gaviota

This is the best restaurant I’ve been to on the island – absolutely recommend visiting! The place has an amazing view of the ocean and is located right next to some of the best natural pools. You can enjoy a great swim and then have a delicious meal afterward. Make sure to reserve a table if you want to be sure to get a seat — the food is incredible, and the restaurant is very popular! The service was fantastic — fast, organized, polite, and always with a smile. We really appreciated it. And most importantly — the food was simply outstanding! This was the best tuna I’ve ever had in my life. The tuna ceviche was amazing, as well as the baked tuna dishes and traditional local foods like papas arrugadas and gofio. Everything we tried was unbelievably delicious. Huge thanks to the team! Highly, highly recommend visiting!

Lovely food, great location, great service. The first time I've ever seen staff lecturing to customers (but in a good way)! Arrive just before 1pm to get the full experience. Pay attention, questions may be asked afterwards...

The staff was super attentive and explained every dish with a lot of detail. The views while eating were incredible of the natural swimming pool and the ocean. We would have definitely gone everyday there for lunch and tried everything on the menu if we had stayed on this part of the island. Super recommended! P.s. order the tomato!

Best food on the island, busy-busy so get reservations. Delilah fresh fish! Bluefin tuna if you are lucky. Simple atmosphere, but the best ocean view. Service is quick once you get to order, worth waiting, only one lady helping the owner and she is super nice!

Wonderful restaurant with ocean view. The owners are very friendly people and they very good food. The cook has a passion for fishing but also can cook haha! At the end of the serving he comes and ask if the food was good. The lady is very friendly and speaks multiple languages! One of the best restaurants of La Palma!

Turned up at 5pm, an hour before they closed without a reservation. Despite a sign saying they were full, the hostess found us a table within 10 minutes and was extremely friendly and accommodating! We were recommended some delicious local dishes and wine. Service for food was quick and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. Highly recommend, would visit again!

Amazing pescatarian food, very friendly staff and a great view. Worth the 1,5 hour drive for us! We had the amazing charred tomato with pesto (best tomato I ever had), ceviche from local fish and grilled octopus. All delicious, well balanced dishes and made with love. Ignore the bad reviews here, most are from the previous restaurant that was here before. Best come hungry ;)..

The food here was very good. The seafood soup was very delicious and the portion was very big for only 3.50 euro! We also had the option of handpicking from a selection of fresh fish that the waiter bright to us on a plate when we sat down. (The only issue with this catch of the day dish is that you don't know exactly how much you'll be paying for it - the price is measured in the weight of the fish you picked.) I also would have preferred if they served at least a bit more salad on the side. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but very slow in bringing us the bill. The location was perfect.
