Guía de Isora offers visitors a taste of authentic Canarian cuisine, which is known for its simplicity and use of fresh, local ingredients. Dishes often highlight fresh seafood, such as grilled fish or the local specialty, vieja (parrotfish). Potatoes are a staple of the Canarian diet, with the most famous dish being papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes), typically served with mojo sauces—either red or green, depending on the type of pepper used.
Other traditional foods include gofio, a flour made from roasted grains, which has been eaten on the islands since the time of the Guanches, and ropa vieja, a hearty stew made with meat, chickpeas, and vegetables. Local wines, particularly from Tenerife’s volcanic vineyards, and honey-rum liqueurs are also popular.
Visitors can enjoy these dishes at local restaurants, including La Casona del Patio or La Caleta, both known for their authentic Canarian and Mediterranean dishes. Food festivals, like the annual Tapas Route, are also a great way to explore the local culinary scene.
