La Isla de Goya

La Isla de Goya combines family roots in Aragón with the ingredients and food traditions of La Palma. Established in May 2015, it stands on Avenida Marítima in Santa Cruz de La Palma, close to the city's distinctive balconies. The approach is informal, with tapas and larger sharing portions that let a table explore several dishes together. Its identity comes from that meeting of mainland and island cooking rather than from a single specialty. Migas Aragonesas bring the shepherding tradition of bread and chorizo to the menu, while grilled island cheese and wrinkled potatoes with mojo give the selection a Canarian accent. Small plates include padrón peppers, shrimp fritters and piquillo peppers filled with marinated tuna. There are cheese and Iberian ham boards, alongside a substantial range of topped toasts. One combines aubergine, courgette, tomato and grilled smoked Palmero cheese with hazelnut and basil pesto; another pairs local fresh cheese and grilled vegetables with smoked salmon and toasted almonds. Seafood continues through the casserole and sharing sections, with clams, mussels, prawns and small fried fish. Meatballs with mushrooms, cuttlefish and prawns bring land and sea together in one dish. Vegetable choices include a grilled vegetable platter and a warm salad with curry vegetables and chia seeds. Eggs appear in several combinations with potatoes, vegetables, ham or chorizo. A separate children's menu offers smaller, straightforward meals. The restaurant encourages guests to ask for recommendations, and its menu is available in Spanish, English and German. It is a useful address for companions who enjoy ordering collectively and comparing different regional flavors.
