The Island Bistro

Very cute little spot. The staff are welcoming and naturally friendly, and it’s got a really homely vibe. It’s up in the ‘old town’ part of Puerto Del Carmen which means it’s not so ‘strip’-like, and has a more down to earth feel.
The food was fantastic. Going with the theme and décor of the restaurant; it’s more homely and hearty than high-​end, but it’s of really excellent quality. The presentation is spot on, and there’s a great selection. I would personally recommend the ‘Prawns Island Bistro’ Chef Special. It’s prawns stacked in a liquour /​creamy type sauce with rice, and lovely veggies on the side.
The main draw card of this spot though? The price. It’s crazy good value!!! We’re talking 13.75 for three courses!!! And three really, really good courses as well.
I’m told you need to book here in the high season, which says it all. Great spot. Love it.

This small little Bistro is perched just up from the main harbour in the Old Town of Puerto del Carmen, right next door to The Harbour Bar. It’s an absolute little gem of a place but if you don’t book a table in advance you will definitely not get in, it is so popular. Unbelievably good food, fantastic choice on menu and they offer a 3 course meal for the even more unbelievable price of € 13.95 in total! I really can’t rate this place highly enough, friendly service, very welcoming, spotlessly clean but delicious food… not huge portions but just nice size for three courses. I would highly recommend the avocado, smoked salmon and orange salad to start and for mains perhaps the sole gratin or even try the rabbit if you don’t mind spending some time picking bones! Definitely hot cherries and ice cream sundae for your sweet tooth if it’s on the menu or maybe the crepes with chocolate sauce yummy!
