Restaurante Chipi Chipi

Chipi Chipi grew from a small neighborhood shop into a restaurant surrounded by plants and flowers in Velhoco, above Santa Cruz de La Palma. The Yanes-Herrera family arrived from Tigalate in the late 1950s and began selling provisions while serving tapas and wine to neighbors. Cards, dominoes, storytelling and music were part of those early gatherings. A popular song performed there supplied the restaurant's name, and the business dates its beginnings to January 1960. As it expanded, a grill, dining room, terrace and individual private dining spaces were added. A later redesign by Palmero artist Luis Morera preserved the original character. Today, grilled meat remains a central part of the menu. Beef chops, pork ribs and chops, chicken, rabbit and kid goat appear alongside sausages and the island's sweet blood sausage. The accompaniments include wrinkled potatoes, fries, red mojo and alioli. Traditional starters such as gofio escaldado, chicharrones, goat cheese and grilled cheese give the meal a distinctly local foundation. Soups include Canarian puchero, chickpea soup and picadillo soup, while cod with onions provides a fish option. Desserts continue the island theme with bienmesabe, Príncipe Alberto, quesillo and gofio mousse, together with homemade cheesecake and lemon cream. The different dining areas accommodate both ordinary meals and more private gatherings. Weddings, baptisms, communions and company dinners are among the occasions the restaurant organizes. Parking includes spaces reserved for people with reduced mobility. Guests with allergies or intolerances are asked to consult the staff about the ingredients in individual dishes, and tables can be reserved by telephone.
