CANARY ISLANDS - TENERIFE - RESTAURANTE EL CHAMO

RESTAURANTE EL CHAMO

On our arrival at Tenerife South Airport, we picked up our hire car and headed to the sleepy town of La Escalona for lunch at Restaurante El Chamo, our first meal on the Island this trip.

This family Restaurant is an excellent representative of typical traditional Canarian cuisine, specialising in a wide variety of wood-grilled meats, including lamb, goat, suckling pig, steak, and rabbit (which is served with salmorejo sauce),

If it's sunny, you can enjoy the terrace.

We chose to eat inside in the large dining room, which was empty on our early arrival but filled up during the standard Spanish lunchtime, 2.30 pm / 3 pm.

After picking a table with a pleasant view, we started our lunch with Canarian potatoes and Mojo Sauces.

Champiñones con aceite de ajo (mushrooms with garlic oil)

Queso de cabra con mermelada de arándanos (goats’ cheese with cranberry jam).

Pierna de cabra asada (roast leg of goat)

Cochinillo (suckling pig)

Chuletón (T-bone steak)

Local wines that are obtained directly from the nearby bodega are good.

We had two bottles of Viña Norte from Bodegas Insulares de Tenerife - Area: Tacoronte-Acentejo.

There was a selection of homemade desserts, but after our meat fest, we were rather full.

They also have homemade grappa.

The service was very friendly; they could not do enough for us.

Unfortunately, it is not a place for vegans or vegetarians.
