In this post we would like to talk to you about the Casa Josefina restaurant. A place to eat where we would take our friends visiting Gran Canaria. This Canarian restaurant specializes in leg of lamb. On their menu they also have salad, cheese, croquettes, squid, etc. but you can't come here and not try the leg of lamb. It's like going to a hamburger restaurant and ordering a salad. We tell you everything below!

La They bake lamb leg in the oven and accompany it with natural fries, It's delicious. A leg of lamb for two people is too much, but it doesn't matter, don't miss out on trying it. Whatever you have left, they prepare it for you to take away. The ideal is to ask for it share between four people, so you can try other dishes that make delicious like chickpea and squid. To start they always ask if you want Canarian soft cheese with bread and aioli.
As for dessert, we recommend you try the gofio mousse. The gofio, that basic food for canaries made from ground cereals that we have talked about in our article on canarian food. By the way, if you want to know how it is made, we share a easy gofio mousse recipe on the blog. In the same way, if you are going to drink coffee, in the Canary Islands we usually drink it with normal milk and also condensed milk and we call it «milk and milk«.
Currently (2023), The portion of leg of lamb is €42 and you will hardly be able to finish it if only two people go. So we do not recommend ordering starters if you are going as a couple (unless you don't mind taking a tuper of lamb home).

All the food is very good and natural, like their fries, bread and soft cheese, all very homemade!!!
The Saharan squid, the pork meat and the croquettes are all very delicious, although the special dish is the leg of lamb!!
Don't forget their variety of homemade desserts and excellent service!
I recommend it because they follow the covid-19 protocol to the letter, in every way!!
