The best bars and cafés Tenerife

When you're by the sea, it's tempting to opt for cafés with a view of the sea, but this one is definitely worth a visit. With its superb Art Deco decor and terrace with large rattan armchairs, it's a good address to visit at various times of the day. For a gourmet break, it's the ideal place to savor homemade pastries or ice creams. In the evening, cocktails or wines accompanied by tapas will bring the day to an end in a particularly calm setting, next to the church. These are just some of the reasons why it has become a popular meeting place for many Puerto de la Cruz residents.

On a small square located in the colourful streets of the old fishermen's quarter, this café can be used as a stopover during the day, to taste all the variations of coffee, with condensed milk, ice, cream... In the evening, cocktails will take over, to be enjoyed inside or on the terrace, installed in very comfortable rattan armchairs. One of the drinks that works at any time of the day and is particularly appreciated here is the Lumumba (like Patrice), chocolate, whipped cream and rum. Whose idea was that name?

"Life is too short to drink a bad coffee" is the slogan of the house that is immediately displayed at the entrance of this modern and bright space, entirely dedicated to this beverage. With what it takes multiple varieties including a very wide selection of South American origins, and knowledge on the part of baristas to be able to satisfy the most demanding in this field. Tea is not forgotten. Small corner with a large table to work while enjoying it. You can also opt for the terrace, with a view of the cathedral.

This café 7 does not immediately reveal its secrets, you will first have to enter the number indicated, follow the corridor to reach the first space, a large closed lounge, with bar and large tables. You can also settle in the large wooded patio, carefully decorated with mismatched recycling furniture where a rather young clientele has its habits. Drinks and tapeo in self-service. The place hosted a few concerts but the neighbours wanted to put an end to them. During a visit, you may attend one of the debates that are organized from time to time.

How can you resist the charm of this magnificent garden of the Casino de La Laguna? This is impossible, as it is the ideal place to take a break between two visits to the old town and have a drink. You can sit at one of the small tables that dot the garden among the trees or on the terrace that surrounds this small modernist style palace, built at the beginning of the 19th century. This will be equivalent to a pause out of time, with only the background noise of the fountain as a background. Which you can always liven up with a sweet break.

El Tocuyo's reputation is well established in La Laguna. And anyone can tell you where he is. All you have to do is walk into that tasca to realize that she lived. Here all generations and all social categories cross paths. The main reason for coming here is to drink a glass of wine from the barrel and experience sweet wines such as vino de pasas (raisin). It's all in its juice, the wine as well as the place. And we will especially enjoy looking at the decor with its multiple barrels. It is lighter when served with wine.

You will be keen to pronounce "tinetine", even if there is no mistake, it is indeed the reporter to the Petit Vingtième, two fingers away from taking off towards the moon, as shown by the logo of the café. This is the place where it is never cold at La Laguna, with a warm atmosphere and a great sound. There are two areas available, one open and one closed, to enjoy an excellent cocktail menu with constantly renewed creativity or to attend one of the many concerts held there. Indispensable when you're in town.

Both a place for a drink and a nightclub. Once inside this traditional Canarian house, the first bar welcomes you in a cosy atmosphere (stone walls, subdued lighting, long zinc and small areas with tables). At the far end is the discotheque area, also with its own bar. On the music side, there's plenty of reggaeton, salsa, electro and house. But suggestions from customers are also welcome. A DJ is on hand at weekends. On the second floor, players will find a beautiful pool table and a dart board.
