Restaurant Camping La Vista - El Cedro, Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Mane N.

The best watercress soup of the island is served at this place in the middle of the wild forest. If you are hiking nearby, don’t miss the opportunity to try the soup! Yes, the waitress with the pink hair has indeed a temperament and is far from friendly on first looks but the soup is worth it! I also tried the chickpea stew that was also good but the other soup really stands out.

Extremely Rude and Aggressive Service – Never Again

This experience was so shockingly bad that I feel people should be warned.
We were greeted (if you can even call it that) by a woman with pink hair who treated us with open hostility from the start. Her tone was aggressive, her manner completely disrespectful, and she made us feel unwelcome the entire time we were there.

Instead of a pleasant meal, we endured constant rudeness and an attitude that made it impossible to enjoy ourselves. I have never been spoken to like that in any restaurant before. It was not just poor service — it was downright unacceptable.

If you value basic respect, good service, and a welcoming atmosphere, avoid this place at all costs. There are plenty of other restaurants in the island that actually appreciate their customers.

A Hidden Gem Frozen in Time
Tucked away in the stunning El Cedro (La Gomera), this restaurant feels like a step back in time. I visited this place fifteen years ago, and to my delight, none of its charm has faded—in fact, it’s only grown stronger.

It truly feels like time has stood still here: the same peace, the same warm hospitality, and—perhaps most importantly—the same delicious food. The watercress soup with bread and cheese is absolutely delightful, a must-try for anyone who appreciates simple, honest flavors.

From the terrace, you're treated to breathtaking views that words can hardly describe. Add to that the incredibly kind lady who served us, and you have an experience that stays with you.

An authentic, timeless spot where both nature and food embrace you. A must-visit for anyone exploring El Cedro.

Perfect lunch stop in the National park after your hike. Big food platters, traditional water cress soup and ice cream!

The place is closed on Mondays, so we stayed overnight in a camper van at the nearby parking to come back in the morning for breakfast and to try the watercress soup. Unfortunately, in the morning there’s only sandwiches to eat and unlike typical bocadillos they had only 1 ingredient in a half baguette: either ham or cheese. No vegetables, no butter, nothing. Ok, it’s Spain and before noon, but one would expect at least one single dish the place is famous for. And politeness, where there was none.

The place feels like a mountain lodge — cozy atmosphere and friendly service. We had sandwiches and ordered a baraquito coffee and a cortado leche-leche.
Unfortunately, when we ordered coffee again, we got something completely different. There was no real coffee taste, and the milk came in a tube… just like at the airport.

A cosy restaurant situated in a very unique place - overlooking the sea far away perched on one side of a beautiful valley in El Cedro.
The food is.. well, let’s say solid! Made from the bottom and very filling; if you’re hungry, you’ll be happy. The prices are fair.
