I haven't been to Garrucha since pre covid, can anyone advise which are the current restaurants the locals and expats recommend for seafood and which are tourist traps to avoid? Somewhere near where the road train stops. 

Last time everyone was raving about 'Rincón del Puerto' which was nice but didn't blow me away. Time before I know I walked in the direction of Puerto Rey a few minutes and ate at one near where the road bends round to the beach but cannot remember which one, it was good though.

Also can anyone recommend a wine shop?  Hotel Tikar comes up but there must be more, looking for something a bit better than Mercadona / Consum / general tourist shops but not crazy money.

Thanks!

For a good wine selection you can't beat Supercash on Paseo del Malecon just up from Mercadona, excellent selection and good prices...

There’s a Mac Donald’s that’s all you need to know I recommend the Big Mac Meal and go large!

Restaurante La Pinta, near to Rincón we think it's much better value

Hi. Try Mesón del Pescador for meals (Calle Malecón, just opposite the fishing port) or Maui, which is at the end near the Marina. I agree with Supercash for a good wine selection. They have a fantastic selection in a separate area on the right hand side.
