"From outside the appearance was deceptive, I and some british friends were brought to the restaurant after asking a canarian friend to take us to a typical Canarian' restaurant. On arrival I thought what is this, it looked like an old wharehouse on the back...road from the North Airport to La Laguna. However inside was very rustic and somewhat like one would imagine a farmhouse kitchen to be. Hence its name La Granja the farm. The menu was indeed typical Canarian and I would advise a good dictionary or a local friend to translate, as it is a restaurant mainly directed at a local clientel, with some local dishes that defy most dictionaries to translate, but are delicious. The kitchen appears to use only local fresh vegetables. The local wines with the meal were also of good quality both the house Red White being very drinkable and complemented the food well. The wine I must say kept flowing as we ate so it is very advisable to have a designated driver' for the run back to wherever you are staying. The Owner Manager Waiter was very helpful and was only to happy to explain the various dishes, however only in Spanish, and was most concerned that we got what we ordered cooked as we wanted. One feels that if one wanted somthing not on the menu, it could be arranged if the constituant parts were available and time permitted. Meat was cooked as we ordered it, rare well done etc., one could say almost to perfection. The Canarian Stews, for which the islands are famous, were wonderful. Do try Ranch Canario if it's avaiable, or the various dishes of chick peas (Garbanzas) or lentils (lentijas). I would advise ordering one starter per person and one main course per person and then in the Canarian fashion putting the dishes in the middle of the table and sharing, a very good and socialbe way of dining. A Dinner for persons with drinks etc came to very good value indeed."
