The best restaurants Tenerife

This is one of the restaurants not to be missed during a visit to Tenerife. Located on the^fifth floor of the Royal Hideaway, this rincón , run by the Padrón brothers, offers refined cuisine made from quality products. Priority is given to Canarian cuisine, revisited with creative touches. You can try it with marinated tomatoes and squid with black garlic and lemon. We recommend the tasting menu, which will give you an idea of the extent of the restaurant's expertise. To be reserved for a special moment.

This is one of the best places to taste Adeje's speciality, garlic chicken. And its success in this area has earned it an excellent reputation for many years. You can try it as part of a classic menu where you can choose between this garlic chicken or a spicier pepper chicken, but not too much. You will be able to accompany it with the classic Canarian arrugadas papas and their equally classic mojos. And finish with a homemade flan, as are the various breads on offer.

The hotel has been decorated several times with the title of better Canary cuisine and is always surprised by the astonishing subtlety of its dishes.

Finally, you will be received in all friendliness and probably… you will return.

Located in the city centre, this small family restaurant offers good Canarian cuisine. It is made with fresh, quality products, while allowing itself a few originalities that make it stand out from most of the other restaurants in the city.

On the edge of the Carretera General, in a fishpond with many small restaurants, you will find Casa Odón.

The excellent quality of the products and the attentive service have helped to ensure a regular clientele. The room is small as well as the terrace, so you would be well advised to make reservations before coming to this very popular and rewarding place.

The plus point of the family restaurant is undeniably its pretty shaded terrace which offers beautiful views of the natural pools of Garachico. And since it is high up, it will be the only one to offer this pleasure. To settle in, it's best to arrive early, as it is of course easily overrun. The interior is more banal as a space. His speciality is fresh fish and his octopus has a good reputation. With beautiful proportions for the plates. The fact remains that this is a fairly simple kitchen that does not justify spending your savings on it.

Typical restaurant, meat specialties and all kinds of grilled sausages (chistora, buttifara, salchichas), try the assortment. Their rabbit à la canarienne, accompanied by onion fries is worth the detour, as well as all their wood-fired grilled meats.

It is now the son who holds the reins of the company, but the map and the tradition still exists.

This address is a little off the beaten track from the classic visits to La Laguna, but it is worth the detour.

This small restaurant is housed in a beautiful 1893 building. The Canarian cuisine is good and family-style and, above all, the quality-price ratio defies all competition, as the dishes, even the starters, are copious, not to say lavish.

In a typical bodega setting, it's the ideal restaurant to try all the Canarian dishes, such as Canarian soups. Bodegon Viana is always full, as it's very popular with the locals. Great atmosphere. One menu, but you can also try the house specialties à la carte. You can, for example, try morcilla, a kind of black pudding also eaten on the peninsula, but in the Canaries it's filled with dried fruit and tastes like gingerbread. Good value and hearty portions.

This restaurant is set on a magnificent site, with its terrace overlooking the sea, from which it took its name and one of its first advantages.

His paellas are also appreciated. One will notice his good selection of wines. An address to be discovered even if it remains a little expensive.

It is sometimes difficult to find this restaurant, located on the heights of Adeje, but this small effort is rewarded.

It is useful to make a reservation, especially at the weekend, and to specify that you want the terrace.

This Templete is one of the best restaurants in El Medano. Situated a little away from the beach, it is quite quiet, even though it is located in a shopping centre. Moreover, its terrace is very appreciable and appreciated. On the tasting side, it is the Mecca of fresh fish that you can visualize before tasting and that you will appreciate for example by ordering a black cherry served a la plancha and accompanied by your dads. Canarian atmosphere also on the meat side with cochino negro or cabrito embarrado, a typical dish of Gomera.

Located above the Safari shopping centre, this former restaurant was completely renovated in 2012. But it remains a reference or even a must-see of Asian cuisine in the south of Tenerife. Of course, sushi will be served, but the range of dishes is much wider since the menu contains more than seventy dishes. We can venture to choose the Teppenayaki which allows to discover 5 different dishes. All being prepared in front of you with great dexterity. Do not hesitate to reserve a table especially on weekend evenings.

It is in this Italian restaurant that the local youth meets. It must be said that the welcome is particularly friendly, and that you can enjoy the terrace with a beautiful view on the playa de las Vistas.

The two Italian owners have other addresses in the same street, for example, the Piccolo Paladar Restaurante, which also serves very good pizzas.

This small and typical restaurant is located on the heights of Masca, in the oldest part of the village, near the museum and far from the tourist buses. First pleasure, from the terrace, you will be able to enjoy a superb view of the barranco (ravine) of Masca. But this is not the only pleasure, because this house will serve you cheese and cold cuts, which a chicken or a peacock from the area will probably covet.

I fell in love with this restaurant which doesn't look like much and which is one of the best Indian restaurants on the island. The whole, with a welcoming and particularly nice service and an excellent quality-price ratio. On the menu, you will find the classics of Indian cuisine: tandooris (not very spicy), masalas, kormas (milder, a mixture of curry and coconut milk), traditional curries, more or less spicy dishes, for vegetarians or not.

Located on the fourth floor of the Adonis Hotel, this Niokobok, from nothing in Senegalese Wolof, offers since 2019 a beautiful clear space, divided into two sub-areas, a more traditional restaurant with tablecloths and a corner more lounge, stool, high or low tables... Where you can either make a full meal or make a tapo. At the controls is Marc, a Frenchman who has been living in the Canary Islands for 20 years. The result is a short but refined menu and well-presented dishes. We enjoyed the ceviche de sama roquera, a small, very fine fish and its Marcuyá sauce. To be continued.

Looking for a balanced breakfast or a healthy, fruity and delicious meal? This is definitely the place for you. No matter what time of day you come, don't hesitate to enjoy a delicious fresh fruit juice. Why not try the carrot, orange, mango and passion juice? Or a protein smoothie version? You can accompany it all with a pancake or a waffle, fresh fruit or on the salty side with a sandwich, a burger, a savory pancake or a delicious salad. The only drawback is that the service is sometimes a little slow.

The La Compostelana group had the excellent idea of taking over the former café on the Plaza del Charco, sheltered under magnificent Canarian palm trees. The result is a kind of Swiss army knife where you can find everything you need, from breakfast to the latest cocktail, not forgetting the tapas area and the restaurants. The decor is a little Sissi in the tropics, but it's not without its charm, and the quality and freshness of the dishes and tapas on offer are top-notch.
