Creative local restaurant
4.8 (5)La Orotava20-30 €
Bodeguita La Charca is a small La Orotava restaurant for a slower local dinner, especially if you want something more personal than a standard Canarian menu. Reviews point to fresh food, inventive cooking, soft beef, salads, friendly owners and a dry white wine that fits the meal well.
The room sounds cosy rather than slick, and one older review mentions heat inside when there was no air conditioning. Desserts also get less consistent praise than the savoury dishes. Go for the cooking, the welcome and the wine; keep expectations relaxed rather than expecting a large, formal restaurant.

The food was fresh and tasty, lovely dry white wine, cosy atmosphere and received a friendly welcome. We dined from 7pm but I believe the locals will arrive much later! Would happily recommend to anyone.

The best was the food!!! Super gooooood!! And the service was polite.
Dessert wasn’t that good.
They didn’t have air conditioning and it was a little hot inside.
