El Pescador

EL PESCADOR restaurant is located just off the Plaza del Charco, up a little hill in Calle Puerto Viejo.

It is one in the gradually expanding Padrino Group of restaurants – the others being El Padrino (located more or less in the parallel street to El Pescador), El Padrino San Amora in La Paz and on the sea front opposite the Lido – the Restaurant La Taberna del Lago

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

As we had chosen to eat at that time between lunch and dinner, the restaurant was not very busy (but did start to fill up as we were finishing our meal). We sat on the outside terrace which just caught the sun as it was starting to go down.

THE RESTAURANT

As would be expected from the name of the street that the building is located, Calle Puerto Viejo – the building is old and covers a huge area constructed in the style of a typical old Canarian house with an internal courtyard. There are many little dining areas inside and large rooms suitable for parties and weddings. What is particularly interesting are the many old photos of Puerto de la Cruz which are displayed around the walls of these rooms – definitely worth taking a little wander to have a look whilst waiting for your food to arrive.
