A restaurant in a 500-year-old house
Casa Santa Maria occupies a historic house near the Santa María church in Betancuria. The building’s age and the restaurant’s dining rooms give a meal here a different feel from a stop in a more modern setting. Outside, greenery and flowers surround the garden courtyard, while the balcony looks over the village.
Choose your seat with the setting in mind. The balcony is the pick for village views; the garden courtyard gives you a quieter-feeling place among the plants. On a sunny day, outdoor seating lets you make the most of the flowers and greenery.
Canarian dishes and local cheese
The menu brings together Spanish cooking and Canarian flavours. Local cheese is a good place to start, and papas arrugadas are among the island dishes listed. For a more substantial plate, the house specialty is braised lamb with a sweet, jammy sauce.
Apple strudel and chocolate cake are among the dessert options. If you have dietary requirements, check the menu or mention them when booking. The restaurant is in Betancuria, so it fits naturally into a stop in the village.
