Casa Santa María

Fuerteventura


Adjoining the museum complex, this restaurant looks like it was transplanted from Andalucía. Try to get a table in the flower-lined courtyards. The menu includes all manner of goaty offerings, from roasted to fried with cheese and chutney, as well as colourful salads where goat’s cheese, once again, takes pride of place. It's pricey, though the menu de la casa takes the sting out a bit.

There's a kids menu to hand at €7.50 if you've tots in tow.
