We were recommended this restaurant in a chance conversation and wow, our expectations were significantly exceeded. Seafood was excellently prepared with delightful textures and flavours. This was the best meal we've experienced in the Canary Islands.
In addition to the superb food, the ambience of the restaurant, the beautiful but unobtrusive music, the kindness of all the staff, including the chef/owner, are all second to none.
We cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough and we are already booked there again for tomorrow.

We booked early as they opened at 7pm, unlike other places, everything was perfect to start the service.
I went with my partner and our 2 daughters (5 years and 18 months).
There is no high chair, but we attached the stroller without a problem. If children are restless and do not eat “everything”, it may not be the best place for everyone to enjoy.
We ate alone and very comfortable. The wonderful attention (unbeatable, like-minded and affectionate with the little ones, to the fullest).
The food, a snack (sea salad, black risotto, crepe and ravioli) was very successful.
The dessert: pineapple mousse, light and fresh with local products.
Everything, with bread and drinks: 4 beers and 2 waters…€85, it may seem a bit expensive for El Hierro, but the preparation of each dish and the flavors are really worth it (that and the wonderful surroundings of the Plaza de la Candelaria in Frontera ).
I would return without a doubt

We spent a few days on the island of El Hierro and this restaurant in Frontera had been recommended to us. The place is a winery and the dinner was delicious. The unbeatable treatment. The owner Lidia and her son are charming. Good people as we say here in the Canary Islands. All the dishes were very well prepared and very delicious. The fried fish, the zucchini carpaccio, the exquisite quail, the desserts and they recommended a wine from El Hierro that surprised us with how good "Salta-Parras" was. 100% recommended restaurant.

Dear Sirs, Bodeguita de fa
I am writing to you with the purpose of making a formal complaint in relation to the experience we experienced in your restaurant on the day. Unfortunately, our time in their establishment was marked by poor service and unacceptable attitudes towards our children.
From the moment we arrived, we noticed a lack of cordiality in the staff that served us. Most worrying, however, was the insinuation that we should buy fast food for our children, who have a healthy diet and are used to eating in all kinds of restaurants. As we were informed, his restaurant is exclusively for adults. We would like to emphasize that nowhere in the restaurant or in its advertising mentions that there is a right of admission or a policy of exclusion towards children.
It is important for us to emphasize that this type of discrimination is not only inappropriate, but also affects the image and reputation of your establishment. As parents, we consider this type of treatment unacceptable and are deeply offended by the insinuation that our children were not welcome.
We request a response to this claim and a detailed explanation of your restaurant’s policies regarding the admission of minors. We believe that an appropriate correction and apology is necessary to prevent other customers from experiencing the same treatment.
We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a satisfactory resolution.
Attentively.

Con todo mis respetos..eran 7 personas con tres niños..preparé la mesa ya que venían sin reserva..uno de los niños dijo que no le gustaba nada y que quería espaguetis..l s dije que solo trabajamos la comida que se ofrece en la carta..puede leer las reseñas de otros clientes tratamos a los niños con mucho cariño siempre pero no es lugar para niños ya que nuestro local es una bodega..uno de ustedes dijo que se IVA con las ganas de probar algún vino y les dije que quizás en otra ocasión se fueron a buscar otro lugar donde la carta fuera más adecuada para que sus niños comieran..comieron el pan y yo ni les cobre nada..pero esperaba un mal comentario sinceramente..me disculpo por no querer adaptarme a las peticiones de todos los clientes,espero sea una resolución satisfactoria para usted y su familia.. un cordial saludo.

The lady who attended us, in her 50s or so, possibly the owner knows very little about hospitality, in fact she did not even know how to open a bottle of wine or had tact and education to attend a table.
As for the food it was fine but they have neither a typical Iron dish, nor fresh fish, fried cheese....
For us a disappointment.
The best part is that the place is nice
I wouldn't recommend it.

Tienes razón.. nuestro restaurante está pensado para el turismo ya que aquí vivimos de eso..no no tenemos platos típicos y el queso tampoco es de el hierro..no no vendemos pescado fresco ya que aquí no hay pescado fresco..si usted cree que no soy profesional no conincide con la opinión de mis clientes y claro que no es posible agradar a todo el mundo.. gracias por su comentario,para la próxima vez que valla a un restaurante infórmese en las redes sociales y lea que nuestra carta es mediterránea no tradicional para eso están todos los demás..un cordial saludo.

In February of this year we were in the restaurant three consecutive times: The food and the service convinced us every night. This time it was different: both dishes were very good but the salad was a pure disappointment. In February there was a delicious sauce, this time - very bad style - they brought us the sauce in small plastic bags. Impossible in a good restaurant. The bread was nothing more than conventional, without any flavor.
In addition - it was also very different in February - the professional distance of the lady who served us was missing. Other Germans may like to be treated like at the Munich Oktoberfest, but we were bothered by the you and other phrases without distance.
We finally had to claim our drinks after 10 or 15 minutes.
At the moment we have no desire to return, as disappointed as we are.

My daughter and I went to dinner, on Recommendation of the Punta Grande Hotel (another essential) and it was a real success, we had cheese and fried fish, fantastic both dishes, very well made and of great quality, so much we liked that we repeated another day, the second time we wanted to try one of their crepes and some ravioli, another success.
I wanted to taste the meats of the menu and its wines.... we will have to go back.
Thank you Lidia for treating us so well.

Honestly, although the food and presentation were good...I gave it 3 stars for the layout and acoustics of the place. The heat is simply unbearable and they only serve dinner...eating inside can be suffocating despite having both doors open. I don't understand why they don't have air conditioning...in these circumstances you can't enjoy a good meal. Likewise, the capacity is for a maximum of 27 people (it gets to be full and I don't want to imagine it). The service: there is a waiter for all tables, who is very attentive and friendly. The food was good and you can see that the raw material is of quality but I repeat it is a shame not to leave with a good taste in your mouth because with the heat the only thing you wanted was to hydrate yourself, finish eating quickly to go out for dessert or a very cool drink somewhere else... what I said is a shame.

Que lastima que tenga usted calor en agosto..busque usted en el hierro un local como el mío del siglo 18. Y con las características de ser patrimonio cultural de la isla con aire acondicionado..un camarero para 5 mesa creo que es suficiente..pero claro para quien quiera quejarse nunca falta excusa..muchas gracias por su visita.

The food was very good. The only thing that surprised me was that they only offer you to drink water and wine (and wine only the one they have) do not give you a choice. The only place I've ever seen this, in a real guachimche. We did well because we drink wine, but for lovers of beer and soft drinks abstain. By this I mean not that the experience went wrong, but singular. Gastronomy is fine I recommend if you want to eat differently.

Starter, main course, dessert. Everything was a bit contrary to our expectations based on the very good reviews and the promising menu. Everything was too heavy, hearty, without that special something. Dishes that don't go well with wine (the Bodeguita wants to be a wine bar). Beer would be more appropriate. Price-performance ratio is also borderline. But a very nice atmosphere, inside and out.

We went there 3 times during our stay, the best restaurant we found on the island. The truffle ravioli are excellent, hearty and tasty dishes. Good pineapple dessert. Pleasant setting, beautiful decor, the staff is very smiling and attentive. Remember to book.

Quality of exquisite food, varied menu and original dishes. Cozy and warm place. Relaxing music. The value for money is very good. Quality raw material.
Lidia's treatment is very friendly and Pro. Explain the dishes on the menu and advise if you ask a lot, so as not to pass us by.
A place to try, if you come to the Iron. Recommended 100%.

This place is just beautiful in every way. The building and interior are lovely, the food is delicious, and the waiter Carlos is a wonderful person; so friendly and genuinely happy to meet new customers. I'm so glad I came here! Also plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans too.

Excellent food, super friendly service, clean, with very appropriate background music, the decoration, specifically a painting, charming. In short, a fantastic experience. Make special mention of Lidia who treated us exceptionally. Without a doubt, totally recommended. Don't leave without trying the eggplant tempura with a touch of curry and Ferran honey.

Loved the old American classics music (Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, etc.) and the atmosphere of the old house setting. Food was really good - oxtail carpaccio; aubergine with curry and honey (my favorite of the night - super thin, crispy, and not spicy); pork cheeks in red wine reduction; stuffed squid (a little chewy). Wine list is decent. There were only 2 tables tonight, so service was great.
