Silogía

A dining room in the palace house on the square

Silogía is the restaurant of the hotel La Quinta Roja, in the marquises' palace house of 1689, opposite the old San Francisco convent and next to Plaza de la Libertad in Garachico. It is open to non-guests too. There is a modern indoor dining room and a terrace in the courtyard, and the house offers it for family meals and small celebrations.

What to order

The kitchen starts from Canarian cooking and adds Mediterranean and Asian touches, with local seasonal produce. The menu on their website lists rice dishes, such as black rice for two or a soupy rice, fish such as cherne (wreckfish), carpaccio, salt cod salad and a burger. Ask what is off the menu.

Opening hours and booking

It is open Wednesday to Sunday, from 13:00 to 22:00, with no mid-afternoon break; the last booking is at 21:15. It is closed on Monday and Tuesday. Book by phone on 693 819 879, especially for weekend lunch. As it does not close in the afternoon, it works well after a morning at El Caletón or in Masca.

Getting there and parking

It is right in the old town, on San Francisco roundabout, a two-minute walk from the town hall and the church of Santa Ana. Park in the free public car park at the old football ground and walk in. The El Caletón pools and San Miguel castle are five minutes away, downhill.

With a dog

The house says on its website that your pet is welcome. If you come with a dog, ask for a table on the terrace when you book.
