Chipi Chipi
Restaurante Chipi-Chipi
A local charcoal-grill institution open since 1960, with stone cottage-style private dining rooms in its garden and very reasonable prices.
Located in the Velhoco district above central Santa Cruz, the restaurant opened in 1960. In the late 1980s, La Palma artist Luis Morera helped refurbish it, and the garden around the main dining room holds stone cottage-style private dining rooms. The specialty is charcoal-grilled meat, including rabbit, goat and local sausages, along with grilled cheese, gofio and Canarian stews. It is popular with locals, so weekends often mean a wait. Reserve ahead and arrive before 13:30. Street parking at the entrance is hard to find. About €20–27 per person.
Opening hours
Mon–Sat 12:30–23:00, Sun 12:30–17:30 (listings vary; call 922 41 10 24 to confirm)
