La Trastienda de Chago, local food in the old town of Gáldar

17/08/2021 Por Local Guide Gran Canaria

La Trastienda de Chago has a clear commitment to the local product of Gáldar, Gran Canaria and other Canary Islands. And apparently 80% of the genre of their menu is produced in the Canary Islands. At the same time, they have wide offer of wines and beers of the Islands. In addition, it is located in the old town of Gáldar, a few steps from the Santiago square. Below we tell you our gastronomic experience here.

La Trastienda de Chago

According to their owners, the restaurant is in an old house in Gáldar village dedicated to the restoration for decades. However, now it has a very careful decoration and atmosphere like a typical Canarian backroom. As we said, one of the charms and differentiating elements of La Trastienda de Chago is its wide range of Canarian wines and beers. In fact they are called “Enoteca” or wine bar in English. We had the chance of trying a Lanzarote beer with a lot of flavor and that we recommend: Capitán (Captain). Also the red wine VidSnt2 of the Listán Negro and Tintilla grape varieties grown in Monte Lentiscal, Santa Brígida. Spectacular!

Apparently the menu vary, so we do not share it here. However, we tried some tomatoes seasoned with onion (both from Gáldar), which were delicious. We also tasted a sheep cheese with Indian tuno and another one with sheep and goat of Tejeda. Very delicious!

We continue with some smoked vegetables with sarmiento. Apparently the sarmiento is what is left on the vine after pruning. It was the first time we tried it. They were super tasty and fresh.

Finally, we wanted to try the potatoes “al pelotón” (Moya potatoes) with acorn ham. The eggs are well cooked and come with sweet paprika. We also loved it.

Regarding desserts, we could not leave without being surprised with their specialties. One for the chocolate lovers and another with a Canarian touch: the cake of Moya bathed in Whiskey.
