Habana

Top choice in Santa Cruz de la Palma


This delightful pink-and-white wedding cake of a building has its terrace on a picturesque plaza overlooking a fountain and surrounded by flower-filled balconies. The coffee is simply superb, the staff are busy but all smiles and the menu won't disappoint with risottos, bruschettas and fried cheese with mojo (Canarian spicy salsa). It's Cuban-run, so the music should get you foot-tapping as well.
