The best restaurants Canary Islands

Located on the heights of Betancuria, this princess house is a restaurant, bar and also a rural hotel. It has been handed down to its owners from generation to generation since the 15th century. On the restaurant side, you will have the opportunity to taste Canarian dishes, on a beautiful terrace or in a nice patio. On the accommodation side, the place offers five rooms, single or double, each furnished in a different style. The plus, a terrace with a swimming pool on the top and nice views of Betancuria and the surroundings.

In 2006, Martín, Extremeño himself, brought a little of his native land to open this grocery store, which also serves as a tasting point. Very well sourced, many products come from Jerez de los caballeros, near Badajoz, and will allow you to taste hams, chorizos, lomos and especially lomitos, one of the main products of the place. Or on the cheese side, the torta del casar, a sheep's cheese with a melting heart, and even the Canary Islands speciality, the guia flower, mixing cow's and sheep's milk and unique cheese using the thistle flower as a coagulant. It can be accompanied by a good selection of extreme wines such as Habla el silencio, a Trujillo wine, which sits in one of the corners of this warm shop or on the small terrace on the pretty square of La Concepción. Not to mention building a gourmet basket before leaving: jams, plasencia vinegar, vera pepper, etc.

The road climbs and winds up to the highest point to arrive at this magnificent site and restaurant! Before your eyes, a magical panorama overlooking the Roques de Salmor, and all the beaches of El Golfo (as seen from an airplane!), and the beautiful stone building with its gigantic glass roofs to enjoy the view. Built in 1989 by César Manrique, the famous artist and preserver of the island of Lanzarote, the restaurant has even been visited by Spain's majesties: Juan Carlos I and his wife Sofia. A venue for receptions, it's also one of the best tables on the island! Don't hesitate to take a seat on the terrace to make the most of the fresh air and magical view, while enjoying fine Mediterranean and Canarian cuisine using local and organic produce. On the menu: fried cabrit, local fish soup, stuffed chicken breast with mushroom sauce, pineapple garnished with langoustines, and desserts of Gofio mousse (a local specialty) with honey and toasted almonds. Don't forget to take a stroll along the path that starts here and will leave you with an unforgettable memory. You'll be right up there with the clouds!

This excellent Canary and Mediterranean restaurant, situated on a beautiful square in the heart of the historic centre, has a successful map: cheese mix from here, carpaccio of bluefin tuna, salads, scrambled eggs with Iberian ham, seafood risotto, squid, shrimp… The place is also unique since it is a historic palace, a former theatre in Las Palmas, and the address has not forgotten its first cultural vocation since there are concerts and literary encounters. A magical address to discover absolutely!

The mistress claims a double influence, Catalan and Andalusian. You will not be surprised to taste fideua de (paellla-based paellla) or the frying of small fish prepared to Andalusian. The Canary Islands are not forgotten because you will also be used for the island's flagship fish: le canario, prepared by plancha and served with a house mojo. Everything is very fine and eat without hunger, but sometimes there is a little left on his hunger. A great appetite, but it remains one of the few restaurants in Puerto de la Cruz leading to a real culinary research and as recommended. All in a decor that is resolutely design, so épuré. If you wish to dine on one of the few tables in the pedestrian street, you should reserve beforehand, especially on weekends.

I fell in love with this restaurant, which is surprising to say the least. Antonio Garcia, the chef trained in France, works on his dishes both in terms of taste and presentation. It is a market cuisine, Mediterranean and international, where the products are organically grown. Pork and suckling lamb and zucchini, quail salad, steamed octopus, small squid, surprising homemade desserts like lemon mousse with fresh cheese, the list is long and evolves throughout the year. And as the kitchen is open you can see the chef at work.

This restaurant is housed in an exquisite 19th century to the beautiful garden, located off Villaverde and on the road of Oliva. It will delight you with its Canarian good, fresh produce, and its local wines - including the famous Stratus of Lanzarote, Malvasia, in white and rosé, a sure bet! To make your mouth water, discover hot goat cheese of the country and their honey, Vieja, fresh fish and typical of the region, roasted and served with fresh vegetables and boiled potatos! On the menu, a multitude of the country that will make you want to return to enjoy them all: vinaigrette octopus and vegetables, assorted cheeses of Fuerteventura, scrambled eggs with sausage and leeks, cod tortilla... House specialities: meat from the barbecue, fried kid and fresh fish from the island (grilled grouper, Galician octopus with), beef stew goat, rabbit Mahoh style, roast Suckling Pig... The choice and flavours! As for sweets, quickly try the speciality here including the mousse Gofio, Catalan cream, or the chocolate nappée fig! Impeccable and friendly service, made by a team of 7 people. The place is also a charming rural hotel with pool!

This pizzeria with stone walls of lava was created in 1992. A true jewel of Italy, you can enjoy the good ones and generous pizzas. Book a little square in your stomach enjoy fondant made its chocolate ice house. For the record, the pastry chef, Christmas, was trained in the making of mirrors at Lenôtre (Paris). The friendly service and a relaxed and lively make this place unmissable. Groups (6 to 8 people) can occupy a small room for more privacy.

Since 2014, Lilium has rallied the Marina to settle in an all-white space with a simple and bright decoration. One can try the banana croquettes, accompanied by mint mayonnaise and beautifully presented on a leaf-shaped plate and in its silver corolla, the tuna tartar is seasoned with a delicious mango vinaigrette. For dessert, chocolate coulant with gofio or cheese millefeuille with grenadilla cream await you. The menu changes with the seasons and can be enjoyed on a terrace sheltered from the wind.

This is the best place to eat fresh fish and seafood in Puerto de la Cruz. The fish will be presented to you before being cooked, preferably accompanied by various tapas or papas and a dry white wine from Icod. The terrace overlooking the muelle (quay) is very friendly, often more frequented by locals and Spaniards as evidenced by the hours when it fills up. We go there and we return there and we recommend it without hesitation. It is one of the good addresses of the city even if its success made the prices increase a little.

In the Vegueta district, this restaurant has been in a pleasant setting: A th century palace with a beautiful patio bathed in greenery and palm trees which maintains a very gentle atmosphere. On the menu, beautiful fish come from the day, served with lip sounds or risottos and beautiful meats like solomillo. A beautiful map of Canary wines and attentive service. A nice and beautiful table.

Here, unlike many restaurants, everything is fresh! Since 1982, this restaurant has been serving typical Canarian dishes: fries with beef meatballs and mixed salad, rabbit and fish of the day. Everything is delicious! Even the wine comes from the family finca. The terrace overlooks a quiet pedestrian street. Yudith, the owner's daughter, will be delighted to advise you. For the record, this bar has existed since 1947. Back in those days, the owner had a small boat and used to cross from La Gomera to Tenerife with 20 to 30 people at the most: they would travel all night to get to the south of Tenerife. The restaurant was also used as a ballroom, where people liked to come to party and dance.

This is the first traditional family restaurant that opened in Los Abrigos. From its terrace, you will have the most beautiful view of the sea and the old port. Its great specialty, which has made it popular with everyone for a long time, is its fresh fish. We recommend the crab rice or the sole meunière, but you can also try a classic paella. Do not hesitate to stop there, even for a drink on the terrace.

The Aquarela and one of the finest restaurants in the region. It is in an idyllic setting with a nice terrace and swimming pool. Opened since 1992, you will find here a fine creative cuisine and excellent wines in a select atmosphere, ideal for a romantic or unforgettable dinner. On the menu, a wide choice of dishes such as wild gambas, oven baked turbot, carré lamb and picks potato, milk pig conflict, lobster medallions…

The real plus of this restaurant is its location on the old port and facing the sea, with views that can be appreciated from the two terraces. If you want to meet the "blue cow", you'll have to go to the one on the first floor. Here you can enjoy fresh fish, such as " cherne à la plancha", "tarte de légumes confits", mussels au gratin with green "mojo" or other local specialties such as fried cheese with tomato jam or soups. And of course, to finish, we try its homemade desserts like the cheesecake.

For those who would like to appreciate the paw of Martin Berasategui, Michelin-starred chef, here is a slightly more informal and accessible proposal than the 3-star restaurant already present in the Abama hotel. Opened in July 2016, it presents the classics of traditional Spanish cuisine, but with the touch of a great expert. It can also be enjoyed in the form of raciones such as croquettes, ham, cheese, mushrooms or squid, depending on the season. There will also be small octopuses with potato cream, coriander mussels, fish carpaccios, superb grills, veal tartars and of course, hams and Iberian cheeses. To finish, for example, with the arroz con leche, another must-see. Given its success, this restaurant, which is open every day, is full and it will be wise to plan your reservation in advance.

Not far from the bus station, here is a place to eat at very accessible prices. On the menu, typical Canarian dishes: chicken with manzana, fish churros, prawns with garlic and parsley a la plancha, seafood, sea paella... As well as all kinds of drinks: delicious fresh fruit juices, local wines and 30 kinds of beer. On site or take away home-made pizzas. And of course, as is often the case in the Canary Islands, bocadillos to suit all tastes, and the famous papas arrugadas with three Canarian sauces.

You can eat well, dildo and cheap in a local and tourist atmosphere. Fresh fish and other meat and canary specialities.

This is the hotel restaurant of the same name and it is one of the best tables on the island. A refined, Mediterranean, fresh and seasonal cuisine is offered in this ancient restored cellar. The wine list honours the place with a selection of the best bottles of the island and the peninsula. You will also appreciate its lovely terrace. The heart of this establishment, which knows how to receive at very affordable prices.

Carved into the volcanic rock, this bodega is also a restaurant. At the entrance, the bar allows you to have just a drink, including a local one as the house produces its own wine, but you can also let yourself be advised by the owner who knows his cellar well. On the restaurant side, you can sit in a cave with multiple wine barrels as decoration. The house speciality is Argentinean meat, cooked over the coals, and cheeses. But don't hesitate to try another local speciality, the morcilla, Canarian black pudding with dried fruit and cinnamon.
