Beautiful place definitely worth a visit. Views are amazing and the food was really tasty. We had a local fish, chicken and traditional goat stew, all decent. Cheesecake and a coffee was a nice addition. The only thing we didn’t like was a house wine. We didn’t want to order a whole bottle so decided to try glass of white and red and it was horrible.

Breathtaking views from this point of the island. Coffee was good and together with the view its a great experience. We just took coffee here, so I can't say anything about the food, although staff didn't felt so welcoming. There is space to park your car, but it gets full on peak hours. Keep in mind that you can enjoy the views from outside of the restaurant, so no need to spend any money to enjoy the views.

The Mirador is amazing, of course...Cesar Manrique designed it, the views are gorgeous, really stunning. After trying to have lunch in several suggested places by local people which were closed during Xmas holidays, we were hungry after the hikes so we decided to give a try to this tourist place, hoping that Km0 policy would allow us to have a taste of El Hierro. We knew it would have been overpriced, didn't expect so much overpriced for the quality of the food and service (slow and not willing to give you any explanation about the ingredients, only if asked they would tell you something, the minimum). Temperature of the white wine not ok, after the right time in the glaciette it became ok, but it was much after the selection of cheese was brought and finished. The soup "huevo a la herreña" not ok the presentation, not ok the seasoning, not ok the potatoes, we tried to gently give our feedback, but the answer was that taste is personal, it may be true, but the quality of the ingredients it's not personal neather the seasoning. The lamb was average and the fried goat was very dry and difficult to find meat only fat, the potatoes also very dry and not seasoned. We diligently compiled the feedback sheet they gave us, hoping it will help to improve the standard of a place that deserves better, until this switch doesn't happen, my humble suggestion is to enjoy this place for the main reason it exists: the view, have a coffee in the terrace to enjoy more the stunning view, but don't pay so much for such a low way to respect the products.

You will find La Peña viewpoint in Guarazoca in the north of the island of El Hierro. From the viewpoint, you can also see the Salmor Rocks. The viewpoint was designed by the Canary Islands architect - César Manrique. There is a restaurant there, but I just stop by for coffee and really great views. The island is small, so make sure this point is on your list.

Great location. A Friday evening all tables had reserved signs. They gave us a table. Waited about 10 minutes for a drink order after being given the menu's. 2 waiting staff on duty. 4 tables having coffee. Ordered our meal croquet and Lapis to start . lapis over cooked. Friend had the baby goat so over cooked, had to pick it up to eat it. I had ordered the chicken breast and mushroom sauce. Was coated in some form of flavoured crumb. Looked like it was bought in. Very dry and chewy. Hard to cut even though the knives were sharp. Fries look warm and the veg was cold. Cost nearly 80e for 2 people. With 2 beers. When I paid and said the meal was bad. Waitress gave a surprised look. No apology gave me my change and a service card which I scored accordingly. Amazing space and views. No customers in the premises when we left at around 8.30pm Friday evening. Avoid at all costs I have over 20 years experience in catering. I live in the canaries andh have had better meals in cafes at a fraction of the cost If back in El Hierro would not visit this place ever again.

View is indeed amazing. Don’t eat there. The food… made us laugh so hard when it arrived… I don’t recall eating anything as awful in a very long time. All in all it was funny but that fish was simply threatening. The croquettes tasted sort of rancid. 58€ for one starter and two mains with sparkling water. Do yourself a favour and get a drink (maybe a pastry - this can’t be dangerous) and enjoy the view, especially the sunset.

The right weather at the right time of day would offer you wonderful views. Even on a bad day, it's worth it just to admire yet another of César Manrique's magnificent earthy architecture. We didn't get a chance to try the restaurant so I can't say anything about it.

Designed by Manrique, this one the not so many, beautiful pieces of architecture of El Hierro. Breathtaking views and enjoying here a drink is just heaven on earth. Even if the drinks are slightly over-priced and not the best. Still having a drink was a very nice experience. The place is stylish and clean, we worked from here one afternoon and had some food for lunch, which was good, decent, not bad, not good. This place would deserve a better menu and a proper chef considering all the space, view and design that it offers - it's a pity they didn't invest more in their drinks and gastronomic experience and capitalize only on the building and view. So, not necessarily recommend for dining, but definitely visit it and enjoy the view.

superb. we tried the lapas and my almost two year old daughter wolfed them! delightful place with old school professional service and excellent quality food. not cheap, but good.

Beautiful historical landmark. The houses themselves added to the natural landscape offer a good reason to visit this place. It's interesting to see how this island developed and lived during the period that it has been populated, how people seemed to have rediscovered tools and utilities necessary for living. Only remark would be the guiding. We paid a tourist price and yet there's not guiding in english, not even a slightly attention to trying to make it slower in spanish or at least trying to explain a bit in english, the basics. So, it seemed we could have as easily do the tour on our own with a printed paper in english. We were a group of 5 tourists, there should be some english offer. Otherwise, the place is worth the time if it's something you're curious about.

Beautiful historical place with nice explanations of historical natural proceses

Nice old houses from el Hierro well furbished with old furniture and rural tools. Hierro giant lizards just there.

Guide explain too much and In Spanish only 🤤 after 30 minutes of boring speech we can't resist anymore absolutely not recommend for family with childrens

Beautiful and interesting place to visit. The receptionist was very polite and welcoming.

Nice village with interesting insights. We booked the entrance to the village and a tour through the little cavelike tunnel and to the lizards. Unfortunately the guide of the group only spoke spanish and because of this, 5 of the 9 people of the group (including us) didn't understand anything.

A very stunning museum! We really liked the old village and the lagarto gantes terrarium. Sadly the guided tour was only in spanish and we were not able to understand a single word. But the tour guide was very friendly and came to us a couple of times to explain some facts in English as well.

A fascinating peek into the recent history of this island.

Very informative museum. I liked the interactive displays and the film about the most recent underwater eruption.

We visited the Volcanological Interpretation Center today. We loved the exposition and the enlightening explation of the Island's birth and geolocical facets of and faces of the vulcanic activities in the past. Beautifully done, loved the 'lava garden' and the path through it, that was created. Also very fascinating to see the documentation and video show of the birth of the latest volcano off the shore of Restinga (still just below sea level, but who knows how long that will stay like that?!) :-) We had obtained a museum passport for the island, and this was the second highlight of the four we ticked off to date.

Very interesting particularly if you take the time to read the panels in the first building (QR translations in English and German). The exterior path could do with a lot more explanations particularly for those of us that are not geologists! Second building deals primarily with eruptions in 2011/12..some interesting videos. Although a shame that the archeological/architectural elements are not better exposed.

Very disappointing visit for such an interesting topic. Many screens didn’t work and the amount of information was appalling. Can’t recommend.

Very informative and super friendly staff!

Probably the worst museum I've ever been to. First of all: the topic of El Hierro's vulcanic history and the recent eruptions of canary islands is highly interesting and I was really excited to get some deeper insights when I arrived at the museum. Unfortunately, I left fully disappointed: - There are only two rather small rooms - Many things are broken (e.g. several beamers) - Many objects are completely contextless and uncommented, like pictures of a church (?!) - Translations (German/English) are often incomplete (Spanish sentences) or wrong (sentences do not make sense) - The beamers are gesture-controlled by waving with your hands which is a nice idea to make the experience more interactive but poorly implemented. You have to navigate back and forth a lot and in the end it's just uniteractive text blocks - Interformation often redundant (e.g. the exact same map is exhibited twice) without really explaining the big picture - According to older reviews the museum used to be free but nowerdays they charge you an entry fee of approximately 5€ per adult - Whilst El Hierro pretends to be a highly sustainable island using reneweable energy souces, this museum is wasting a lot of electricity, produced by a stinky diesel engine in the backyard

Recommend to visit it. Very informative. Vulcanology of the Canaries + the last underwater eruption next to El Hierro.

Mosty in Spanish, theya are still working on it
