I stumbled upon Venice Café while wandering around La Laguna, and what a find! It’s right in the heart of the city, in a perfect location for a quick break to soak up the atmosphere. The sandwiches are the real stars here. It’s exactly what you want if you’re looking for something quick but way better than your average sandwich. And then there's the service, which was the cherry on top.

Went in for a quick bite and it was excellent! The waiter didn't exactly understand English but was very smart with all the body language. Ordering and communication wasn't a problem at all and food was bravo. Even the coffee was good (if you prefer more heavily roasted coffee). This place isn't expensive at all and absolutely deserve to be in your afternoon tea schedule

If you happen to be in La Laguna and you're hungry - this is the place to be. Perfect and tasty cuisine, fast service, nice view (we sat outside) and barraquito as it should be. Yes, you probably will need to wait to het the table, but it's worth it.

This place is connected to the restaurant next door: Tasca La Venta de la Esquina. It was recommended by locals. The atmosphere on the Sunday noon was terrific with a band playing at the bar. The staff is friendly and efficient. While it was crowded, we spent a great time at the bar.

Well worth visiting La Laguna to eat at this cafe. Traditional Spanish cuisine. Presented modern style and with great flavours. I had cod on sweet potatoes. My other half had goat stew. Very delicious

Lots of people there, you probably have to queue. We sat at the bar and there was no QR code for the menu. The waiter came quickly to take our orders, so we just improvised as we felt a bit pressured by the people queuing. I think you can have a nice breakfast there, as the ingredients are good quality (e.g. fresh orange juice). just bear in mind that you might have to queue and it will be full and a bit noisy.
