La Polilla
About
On Tenerife, La Polilla keeps a midday service window, opening Mo-Su 12:00-15:00 from its base at C. el Juego, 7, 38204 La Laguna, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The schedule suits an early lunch rather than an evening outing, so plan the day around that three-hour stretch.
La Polilla has built its name on that dependable midday slot, and first-time visitors should expect a compact, straightforward stop rather than an all-day affair. Its 5 out of 5 average, drawn from 80 reviews, points to consistently strong feedback from those who have eaten there. La Laguna, one of the island's main towns alongside Santa Cruz, Puerto de la Cruz, Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas, Los Cristianos, El Médano and Los Gigantes, frames the venue's setting. Reaching it from the southern resorts means crossing the island via the main road network, which links the north and south coasts. Further reference sits at http://www.lapolilla.es/.
Spanish is the main language, spoken with a distinctive Canarian accent and vocabulary, so a few local words help with routine exchanges.
Gofio, a toasted grain flour, is used in island breads, stews and desserts, and appears on tables across Tenerife. The timple, a small five-string instrument, features in Canarian folk music alongside guitars.
