Papa Negra

This was a brilliant experience. Our best meal out in Santa Cruz. Our waitress was the perfect mix of helpful but non-intrussive. The food was top quality and beautifully presented. We are both vegan so it was wonderful to have multiple vegan options, plus complimentary appetisers.

Fabulous dinner with some super local Canarian wines. Matthew our Waiter was very knowledgeable, friendly and made some excellent suggestions.

We’ve been in Santa Cruz for a week, this was our last meal before travelling. We we’re actually staying in the same hotel as the restaurant. But thought we’d try it on our last day. But we should have gone there before as it was the best meal of the week! Truly scrumptious! & good value as we’d paid more for worse in other restaurants!

Excellent service, the waitress was amazing, great smile, highly professional. The food succeeded my expectations. Amazing atmosphere. Thank you for the wonderful evening much appreciated ????????

We made the mistake of booking this restaurant on New Year’s Day, thinking that it would be easier than venturing into town to find somewhere open. There were very few customers, just three or four tables, so it looked like they had closed off most of the restaurant. Service was a bit off. We wanted a couple of glasses of red wine but weren’t shown a wine list to choose from. Instead, the servers brought us one bottle to show us. We had to confirm the price. We tasted it but said we’d like a different sort. They again brought us a bottle to show us and taste. I noticed later that customers at one of the other tables were also offered a glass of the same wine. I got the impression that they were reluctant to sell us wine by the glass instead of the bottle. The food was good - I had the potato with goat. Overall it just didn’t feel like a great experience, although the food was good, and the servers were doing their best on a slow day.
