El Vasco de Vegueta

El Vasco de Vegueta brings a different voice to this route: instead of treating tapas as necessarily Canarian, it places Basque bar and dining-room cooking in the historic quarter. Its official gallery shows salt-cod tortilla, cider-braised choricillos, bacalao al pil-pil, rabas, croquettes and fish dishes, alongside seasonal recipes. The Calle Pelota address puts it a few steps from Triciclo; together, the two restaurants make it possible to compare different ways of eating in Vegueta without leaving the area around the cathedral and market. Recent reviews mix praise for the food and service with specific criticism of certain dishes and the closeness of some tables. It suits diners drawn to Basque cooking who are prepared to choose carefully from the current menu.
