La Casada Puerto

La Casada Puerto is a restaurant in the old town part of Puerto del Carmen. It is located in the Calle Roque Nublo and specialises in meat and fresh fish specialities. Next door to the restuarant they even have their own Bodega. They are open daily from 1pm until midnight.

And it must be good – because when we wanted to eat there, there were no free tables! We would have to wait a little bit, so we made the mistake of walking up the street a little bit. When we returned there was a queue to get into the restaurant, with about 10-15 people waiting for tables!

So I can only assume, that they are so good, that people are prepared to wait a considerable amount of time to get a table.

In case you want to book in advance, here is the telephone number: 928 512953.

Simposio, Puerto del Carmen

Simposio is a restaurant overlooking the harbour in the old part of Puerto del Carmen (Calle Teide).

Run by a German couple, it has 4 tables on the balcony and more inside, where there is also a bar.

The food is a mixture of canarian sea-food and German cuisine. Two noteworthy dishes are the fish platter (three pieces of freshly cooked fish) or the meat pan (chicken breast, pork medallions and a steak).

You are advised to book well in advance as on some nights all the tables have been reserved for several days! The telephone number to book is 928 515112.

The restaurant opens at 6pm and is closed on Mondays.

Eating Italian in Bad Homburg II

Another place for good Italian food is hidden away in the old part of the town:

Ristorante Pizzeria Desirée
Obergasse 10-12
61348 Bad Homburg

Tel.: 06172 23524

The food is good and both pizza and pasta can be recommended.  I discovered Desirée when I was on an Italian crash course at the adult education centre (VHS), which is just around the corner.

The serviettes contain basic Italian phrases, like “please”, “thank you”, and so on, what adds to the atmosphere if you’re brave enough to try them out!
