We’re Smart on tour on the Canary Islands

The Canary Islands were not yet widely included in the We're Smart Green Guide. With a visit by the We're Smart team, we aim to change that.

The following restaurants were retained for the 2024 We're Smart Green Guide: 

4 Radishes

Bevir

Las Palmas
Gran Ganaria

La Aquarella

Patalavaca
Gran Canaria

Casa Efigenia Natural

Las Hayas
La Gomera
