La Mariposa - Los Llanos de Aridane

Saw this place from the road. Thought we’d give it a try. It was worth it. Monster fish soup and great garlic shrimps were highlights. Good, friendly service.

Use to be my favourite restaurant in La Palma. Change in management means that the food has lost its athencity even though they have retained some of the items in the menu. The food tastes dull where once spices and flavours ruled the dishes. Service was very good, however dishes lack authenticity and flavour.

We followed the raving reviews to this restaurant, and although we had a decent meal, left a bit disappointed. The waiter was uninterested and did the bare minimum. We had the catch of the day which was tuna, the tuna steaks were enormous and the rest of the meal also consisted of huge portions. But too bad the fish was overcooked, we've had much better on La Palma. And the restaurant is quite expensive too, given the other great options we've tried on the island, this cooking isn't worth the price on the check.

I feel the disaster of the co-habitant palm tree that I am from the whole municipality of everything. Let's hope the new roads make it not lose everything.

I've never visited the palm, it's one of my ions, now retired. They say that a butterfly's flutter is able to move the world, I hope that so customers, so friends, and all so neighbors are able to stop that deadly tongue. I wish you the best, lots of luck to all of you.
