The Ugly Duckling is a small and intimate restaurant where Scandinavian flavours take centre stage. They serve a daily rotating Danish dish accompanied by an eclectic international menu, with dishes like cooked beef tenderloin, succulent grilled prawns, and roasted duck.
Dining
Unsurprisingly, fish is predominant in most of the island’s restaurants, especially those on the coast, with swordfish, sea bass, octopus, and limpets as some of the more favoured delicacies. Inland, the ingredients favour more pastoral palettes with goat, rabbit, gofio (roasted corn meal), and the famous Maxorata cheese on the menu. Most main dishes are served with the ubiquitous accompaniments of fiery red mojo sauce and 'wrinkled potatoes' (papas arrugadas).
