Head downstairs through the shops to this restaurant-cafe below, and a lovely garden right next to the drago tree, for splendid views of the noble specimen itself. The menu here includes grilled Canarian cheese with palm honey or wrinkly potatoes with mojo, as well as a good selection of wines. The shops are stuffed with tasty Canarian goodies.
