It happens in every city in the world. Cuisine tends to merge, it is increasingly common to find dishes, flavors and recipes from other places on the menu. Fusion cuisine, when not directly Chinese, Italian, Japanese, American fast food restaurants… Our eating habits and tastes have changed, to the point that eating sushi now seems as normal as eating watercress stew. The arrival of food from other countries has been so rapid that we seem to be talking about ‘traditional’ restaurants when we talk about some of the city’s dean restaurants. Veterans, yes, but well-established and in good health, they are still a must-see. The deans of Santa Cruz have some points in common: they are prior to the popularization of these ‘fusion’ foods and also to the fact that certain streets have become fashionable, so we find these places in areas less frequented by tourists and we can enjoy a more “traditional” food.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the surroundings of the old bullring, we find several examples. Just across the street is the Taberna Ram\u00f3n (

\n<\/a>), a small and very busy establishment. The quality of its dishes, traditional Castilian and Canarian food, is so well known that it is common to see queues of residents on its small sidewalk and even tourists arriving on cruise ships. A walk along the Rambla de Santa Cruz to finish in Ram\u00f3n is undoubtedly a great plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not far up the hill is Mes\u00f3n Los \u00c1ngeles (https:\/\/www.mesonlosangeles.com\/<\/span><\/a><\/span>)<\/span>in the popular Salamanca neighborhood, a veteran of the city not so well known by tourists, although it is well known by locals. And not far from Ram\u00f3n, but downwards is La Frasca (

\n<\/a>), an exquisite place to enjoy a good meal and its subsequent after-dinner conversation, ideal to continue strolling through the nearby Plaza Weyler, where the pedestrian streets of the center begin. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Further towards the sea, in the busy streets of the downtown area is La Hierbita (

\n<\/a>), where Canarian cuisine and local products have practically all the protagonism.<\/span><\/p>\n

These are some of the city’s landmark restaurants, but there are others with a long history in San Andr\u00e9s, where Canarian food from the sea obviously reigns supreme. In this fishing village almost all the restaurants that serve fish are already several years old, you can see it in the treatment and in the menus, we give you two examples, but it could be any of this village. El T\u00fanel, a regular place where the locals meet to eat fish -(https:\/\/degustasantacruz.com\/establecimientos\/el-tunel\/) or Los Churritos, Casa Fernando. Few places more traditional, menu of few dishes, all fish nearby. Tasty and simple food, sometimes mentioned in renowned guides (
