Restaurant
Restaurante Franchipani
El Paso

Franchipani stands beside the main road between El Paso and Los Llanos de Aridane, near the Urbanización Celta bus stop. Heidy van de Vorst and Rüdiger Wastl opened the restaurant in December 1998, creating a place where Spanish and Mediterranean cooking meets influences gathered further afield. Heidy comes from near Eindhoven and developed her approach in the Netherlands before working with the flavors of Bonaire and Puerto Rico. An intensive cooking course in Thailand added another strand to her experience with spice and unfamiliar ingredients. She arrived on La Palma in the spring of the restaurant's opening year. Her cooking draws on fresh regional produce, including organic vegetables, with an emphasis on the origins of meat and fish. The restaurant presents both a regular menu and changing weekly dishes. Main courses can be ordered in smaller portions, giving guests flexibility in putting together a meal. Rüdiger leads the service and looks after the wines, selecting bottles from small producers and maintaining personal relationships with many of the winemakers. Family wineries on La Palma are central to the selection, joined by reds, whites and rosés from mainland Spain. Staff help guests choose an aperitif, a wine to accompany the food or a drink to finish. The house also invites diners to enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine or beer. A private car park serves guests arriving by road, while the nearby bus stop provides another option for reaching this independently operated restaurant.
