Welcome to Restaurante Vitae, the hidden gem of Puerto de Santiago, where Mediterranean cuisine comes alive against the breathtaking backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean. Nestled at C. la Hondura, this charming cocktail bar and restaurant invites you to indulge in a culinary journey that's as delightful as the panoramic views it offers.

The restaurant's balcony presents an unrivaled view of the sea, perfect for witnessing the vibrant colors of a sunset while you savor exquisite dishes.

Speaking of the menu, it’s a treasure trove of Mediterranean flavors that will entice your palate. Start your meal with the Burratina e Acciughe del Cantabrico, a delightful combination of creamy burrata and Cantabrian anchovies that dances on your taste buds for just €9.50. For seafood lovers, the Tartare di Tonno, freshly cut tuna tartare served on a mango and ginger gazpacho with a hint of caviar at €14.50, is nothing short of a revelation.

Don’t miss the chance to try the Polpo alla Brasa, grilled octopus served over potato crumble with squid ink mayonnaise for €15. Its smoky flavor harmonizes beautifully with the creamy texture of the mayo, making it a standout dish. And if you're in the mood for something comforting, the Polipetti in Umido—slow-cooked octopus in a mildly spicy tomato sauce—will surely hit the spot, priced at €12.00.

The Tabla de Embutidos y Quesos is another highlight, where you can enjoy a splendid variety of Canarian sausages and cheeses. Priced at €20.00, it’s perfect for sharing and is accompanied by house-made jams and honey that elevate the ensemble of flavors to new heights.

Amazing views from the balcony unfortunately we didn't get the sunset due to the dust in the air but it was still nice. The food was lovely myself and my husband shared a seafood paella the rice was full of flavour and perfectly cooked along with the seafood. My daughters had seabass = the best they have tasted this holiday. Service was nice and friendly. Would definitely recommend and go again

An unforgettable experience at Restaurante Vitae! From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. Our server Claudia was truly incredible — warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making our experience special. She made us feel so welcome and took the time to explain everything with a smile. The bartender was on point, crafting some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Every drink was perfectly balanced and beautifully presented — you can tell they take pride in what they do. The atmosphere was perfect — relaxed yet vibrant, with great music that set the mood without overpowering conversation. The view? Absolutely breathtaking — you’ll want to stay for hours just soaking it all in. The food was delicious, fresh, and clearly made with care. You get amazing quality for the price, which is rare these days. Every bite was worth it. The whole team was just fantastic — friendly, efficient, and genuinely happy to be there. You can feel the good vibes all around. Can’t recommend Restaurante Vitae enough — already looking forward to coming back. This place is a gem!
