Fine dining restaurant
Restaurante El Rincón de Juan Carlos, situated in the picturesque fishing village of La Caleta in Tenerife, is a contemporary dining destination known for its innovative local cuisine. This family-run restaurant, owned by brothers Juan Carlos and Jonathon Padron, has played a pivotal role in shaping the modern Canarian food scene.
El Rincón de Juan Carlos is a two-Michelin-star restaurant that promises a degustation journey like no other. Almost everything on the menu delivered exceptional flavors and creativity, with a couple of exceptions. The highlight of the experience was undoubtedly the blue lobster dish and the dessert course, which were nothing short of spectacular. The attention to flavor combinations and the precision in execution were truly Michelin star worthy. However, one dish the elvers carbonara fell short, feeling out of place in an otherwise meticulously curated lineup. Additionally, while the sauces were undeniably luxurious, the consistent use of heavy, creamy textures across seafood dishes felt overwhelming. A touch of lightness or acidity could have brought better balance to the menu. Service, as expected from a restaurant of this caliber, was exceptional, with an acute attention to detail. However, a few minor lapses detracted slightly from the seamless experience. For example, a server’s sleeve brushed the bread while reaching for plates, and there was a moment of miscommunication when we were offered dessert wine despite explicitly being a non-alcoholic table. These are small details, but in a restaurant of this level, they stand out. Overall, El Rincón de Juan Carlos offers a bold and mostly successful culinary journey that reflects the chef’s fearless creativity and passion. While there are minor points for refinement, the experience is unquestionably memorable and deserving of its Michelin accolades. For those seeking innovation and indulgence, this is a destination worth exploring.

An exceptional experience at El Rincón in Tenerife! Everything was perfect — the service, the atmosphere, and above all, the food. Congratulations to the two brothers for their incredible talent and passion, which truly shine through in every dish. A big thank you to the whole team for their kindness and for adapting the menu for my wife — such a thoughtful gesture. If you’re staying in Tenerife, don’t miss this unique gastronomic experience. We look forward to coming back

The best dining experience, ever!!! It was going to be good but it surpassed our expectation. Everything was absoltuley perfect and outstanding. We were made so welcome and felt so comfortable. The family who looked after us are delightful and they really set this dining experience apart from all of the Michelin stared restaurants we have visited. We felt so connected with their culinary journey and this is what made it so very special.... it was like dining with family. One thing that will remain with us was how one of the owners spoke of the team, she said "they are all our family" Todas son nuestra familia. It made the whole experience so special. We were so touched by their recognition of our 25th wedding anniversary; a personalised printed menu and an beautiful celebration cake. The tasting menu was out of this world, pure magic with the most exquisite flavours and attention to detail. The best dining experience ever.

A very special meal and experience. The restaurant is situated on the fifth floor of a hotel (you walk past a bar with a stunning view too as you enter). Set menu and you can choose wine pairing(s) and/or drinks, service was very knowledgeable about each dish and perfectly attentive. Each dish is presented differently but all are outstanding - they give you three different types of butter (one pistachio one local and one regular) if you choose bread, for example, to show the level of attention. Our set menu had a lot of seafood all of which was stunning (I think there was one lamb dish), it may seem expensive but for this quality of effort and presentation it honestly was a special experience.

I can only confirm all other reviews: a truly amazing experience: great view and a warm and friendly staff. And the menu: lots of small dishes, all refined and with great taste. Truly a 2 star restaurant !

The most amazing culinary experience we've ever had in Tenerife. With a spectacular view on the bay of La Caleta, hosts Maria-José, Raquel and their crew know how to spoil their guests. Every course coming from the kitchen is an explosion of taste in your mouth and the wine pairing only went crescendo. The 'Arbol dulce' in the end was unlike anything I've had ever seen in a restaurant. Michelin is absolutely right, this place 'vaut le voyage'. Even from Belgium to Tenerife.

Wow..Wow..Wow..Wow!!! Thank you so much for such a mind bogglingly amazing journey, guys. I have eaten in many Michelin and fine dining restaurants in the past, but the experience I had last night was on another level. The front of house staff were extremely helpful, friendly, and professional, which made our experience even more special. The food was beyond amazing!! The flavour combinations, textures, visualisation and wine flight was mind blowing. Bravo to chef and his team.. they have put their heart and soul into each and every course served. If you are considering visiting, i wholeheartedly recommend that you do.. you will not be disappointed!! As the menu consists of 17 tasting courses.. please allow over 3 and a half hours. I recommend arrival around 6.30-7pm

Winery
Food & Drink
Bodegas Monje is a family winery nestled in the picturesque hills near El Sauzal, offering stunning views of the mountains and sea. Run by Felipe Monje, a fifth-generation winemaker, this vineyard boasts grape varieties that have survived for over 500 years, resulting in unique and intense volcanic character wines. Visitors can enjoy guided group tastings, private tastings, and wine tours with cheese pairings.
We had an outstanding tour (shout out to Feel Tenerife!) which culminated in a tour of the winery and a fantastic meal. Gorgeous views. Great tastes. The staff were very friendly. Highly recommend.

A Perfect Day at Bodegas Monje We really enjoyed our time at Bodegas Monje! The wine tasting and tour offered a fascinating glimpse into their winemaking process and historic cellar. Just the right balance of information, history and winemaking. We sampled four different wines, each paired with four differently aged cheeses, which made for a truly memorable tasting experience. The setting itself is absolutely stunning, with panoramic views of the vineyards and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. After the tour, we stayed for a delicious lunch on the patio that perfectly complemented the wines. The Croquetas de Jamón (Iberico ham croquettes with cheese) and the fire-roasted suckling pig were both exceptional. Perfectly prepared and full of flavor. It was the ideal combination of great food, nice wine, and warm hospitality. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Tenerife. A good escape from the touristy, overbuilt vibe of the south. A true must-do for wine lovers! 🍷

Amazing experience!! We had such a great day with beautiful wine and cheese. Salvatore greeted and served us with fabulous enthusiasm all day. Caleb gave us the tour with so much information and desire to learn more. All in all the staff, the experience, and the day was phenomenal. Absolutely would recommend! Added note- definitely will go for the wine and sex night. Check it out- looks insane!

We were given a bodega visit and menu degustación as a present while visiting Tenerife and it was wonderful. Ari did our tour and it was great - informative and interesting! The lunch was fabulous - 5 courses and 5 wines, and it did not disappoint. The waiters/waitresses/general staff were warm and friendly, and the atmosphere in general was lovely. A thoroughly enjoyable visit. The wine is also fabulous - we bought a bottle to take home. If we return to Tenerife, we'll certainly visit again!

My fiancé had surprised me on my birthday for a wine and cheese tasting at Monje and I had a really great day! The tour was really well explained and to see local artists work was a nice touch to the experience. I enjoyed my day and couldn’t not treat ourselves to a bottle of wine and souvenirs from their gift shop. Thank you for a great experience :)

Restaurant
San Sebastián 57 is a stylish and intimate restaurant in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, known for its regional cuisine and extensive wine selection. The chef, Alberto Gonzalez Margallo, combines tradition and modernity to create dishes using fresh, seasonal ingredients such as bigeye tuna, black potatoes, and local heirloom tomatoes. The restaurant offers a choice of two atmospheres: a classic and sophisticated setting or a more relaxed ambiance.
I liked the dinner here, took a set for €54 and was satisfied with the food. Especially liked starters - Tartar, Shrimp Ceviche and Potato Foam were 3 delicious starters in this set and I liked them all. Others were also good, but I was full after pork cheeks 😁 Generally - I recommend this place, cozy and tasty 👍

An elegant, minimalist restaurant with refined lighting and perfectly set tables. Part of the kitchen is visible through a glass partition, letting you watch the chefs at work. Near the entrance, you’ll see a proud wall of awards, from the Guía Repsol to the 2024 Michelin Star. The service is polished and attentive. With each course, the staff carefully explains how the dish was prepared and which ingredients were used. It adds a deeper appreciation to the entire experience. We ordered the tasting menu and a steak. Despite arriving quite hungry, we couldn’t finish the full menu — it’s generous and easily shareable between two people. The tasting menu included four starters, main courses made with local ingredients, two desserts, and a sweet treat at the end. Every dish was well-balanced, thoughtfully plated, and served at the perfect pace. The only downside was the steak. It cost around €50, so you naturally expect it to be perfectly cooked — but unfortunately, it wasn’t the doneness we had requested. Still, the overall experience was excellent and definitely worth it for anyone seeking a refined, flavorful journey.
Tania K — Google review
I can not say, that I really liked it. The steak, I ordered 3/4, came less than medium, so it had to go back on the grill, what made the whole thing not better. The waiters gave me the feeling, that my money is more welcome than i myself am. There’s a difference between an excellent service and an attitude.
Oliver J — Google review
It was straightforward to reserve online and wait for confirmation. We ordered the set menu with a bottle of wine - reasonably priced for the food which was very tasty and excellent. Sadly the service team was quite busy and did not have time to provide a good enough experience. We had to sit for more than 30mins after the meal finished to get the bill and pay. Also the dishes were not explained while being served and as an English speaker I unfortunately couldn’t really understand much.
Jin S — Google review
Simply a stunning meal. Everything on the menu was tempting, so for a first visit, I went for what they call the Walking Menu of 5 courses with a range of add-ons. This was supplemented by glasses of white and red wines for the fish dishes and one meat dish. As with tasting menus, the portions are small, but the courses are numerous. Everything came with a fine balance of flavours and each with a certain wow factor. As a solo diner, I was pleased to have a table in a secluded corner, though I did feel slightly invisible when ready to pay the bill. A nice touch at the end of the evening was the chef coming around to tables to chat with customers. Some clearly seemed to be locals who have the privilege of frequenting this restaurant. However, the chef also spared a moment for the lone stranger in the corner... thank you for that. Booking seems to be necessary, but equally as necessary is a visit to experience fine dining of top quality.

My boyfriend and I recently dined at San Sebastián 57. As vegetarians, we found the food to be just okay, but the service was truly commendable. The staff were attentive and friendly, making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout our meal. While the vegetarian options were somewhat limited and not particularly memorable, the quality of the ingredients was evident, and the dishes were well-prepared. For non-vegetarians, this place might offer a more exciting culinary experience, but for us, it was the excellent service that stood out the most. If you're looking for a restaurant with good service and a decent vegetarian menu, then it’s worth a visit 😁

Really good food with a touch to the smallest detail. We were four and made our own tasting menu by ordering most of their starters, 3 mains to share and some desserts. Everything we tried was delicious! The only probably not supreme dish was the brownie- too simple for the restaurant. Loved the little sweets and candies they served at the end! Highly recommend 👌

We had a lot to say on this one, so our high-level (abridged) takeaways below… OVERALL: food is fine but not worth the money, weird vibe (bad decor/ambiance) MENU HIGHLIGHTS: shrimp ceviche, all desserts on walking menu, local wine, aperitif SKIP: walking menu, bread to start FULL THOUGHTS BELOW: While staying in La Laguna during our honeymoon, we went out of our way one night to go to San Sebastián 57, because we saw it on the Michelin Guide and were intrigued by the menu and wine selection. Unfortunately (despite a few menu and service highlights) we were largely disappointed. Nothing on the menu was bad, but it was also not special or interesting, and, in our opinion, certainly not worth the price. Before we get into it, a few notable exceptions worth mentioning: The service from the head waitress was exceptional. She was warm, welcoming, and clearly experienced. We got the chefs “Menú Caminar” and there was a nice, surprise starter course and surprise dessert/truffle course as well as a surprise aperitif at the end. Additionally, the local wine that was recommended to us was excellent and one of the best Canarian wines we had while on our travels. Small note: bathroom soaps and lotion smelled great. Now onto the food: Each of the courses was completely fine, but not at the caliber we would have expected for such a restaurant. The oyster was a weird texture and I had a shell in my dish. The ceviche was excellent, but it was truly the only savory dish we will remember from the evening. The potato/egg dish and the meat dish were both fine but quite heavy and the bacalao dish in between did not balance them sufficiently. About the ambiance: For a restaurant listed in the guide we expected a level of charm and/or sophistication (or at least some kind of design point of view) but frankly it was nowhere to be found. The decor was unintentional and uninspired and it made the vibe feel cold and impersonal. Overall, I think our score was lower because we came in with high expectations. This place would benefit from a decor update as well as a fresh take on the menu (perhaps paring down the walking menu to a few less courses of higher quality).

Nestled in the historic heart of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Restaurante La Hierbita is a delightful gem that captures the essence of Canarian cuisine. Housed in a charming 19th-century mansion, this eatery boasts nautical-themed decor and an inviting atmosphere reminiscent of dining aboard a ship. The creaky wooden floors add to its unique character, making each step feel like an adventure.
We stumbled upon this restaurant right after arrival in Santa Cruz. It looked very authentic and there were lots of local visitors. What can I say - it turned out to be one of the best restaurants we visited so far. The price was super reasonable and everything was fresh and delicious. 10/10 would recommend (I especially loved the aubergines with honey and the pulpo)

Great local food in a traditional old house. The prices are high, but the plates are huge. We took half of the food home and ate it the next night for dinner. The salad was amazing (amazing queso asado), and the fiesta pork dish is super good. Careful - they charge you for the bread and mojo they bring without you asking for.

A local traditional restaurant offering pretty generous portions of really good food. This place is popular amongst locals...and I fully understand why... warm welcoming atmosphere ideally located restaurant by the heart of the city centre but a less noisy old street. Just love the place 🙏🏻❤️🌿

We came across this restaurant a couple of years ago, we always said we must go back, but it was always closed. I think it only opens at certain times and they don’t necessarily correspond with Google! However, it is a Very authentic Canarian setting, serving large portions of good food. The wine is a little limited in choice but it’s worth trying. We will be retuning before going home.

The food is good depending on what you get. They didn’t have the first two items I wanted included the dish we came to this restaurant to get. The Ropa Vieja. We came in May so it’s understandable they didn’t have it because it’s a stew so it’s a winter food. But maybe tell your customers what you don’t have. Also, you have to pay for the bread and sauces unless you tell them you don’t want it. 4 stars is very accurate for this place.

I highly recommend this restaurant! The food is absolutely delicious, and the culinary experience was unforgettable. I enjoyed a platter that I ate with my hands, which added an extra touch of authenticity and flavor to the meal. For a starter, I chose an eggplant dish that was truly unique. If you're looking for a special dining experience, this is the perfect place!

Fantastic place to eat some authentic Canarian cuisine. The location is excellent too, being very close to the tram stops, and in a very centric place in Santa Cruz. The place itself is lovely with a nice more traditional-looking architecture and design but well-kept and clean. Best way to eat with a group is ordering different starter dishes that you can share among you group, as the portions are pretty big.

La Tasquita De Mami is a charming family-owned restaurant that offers a modern twist on authentic Canarian cuisine. The menu features generously portioned and creatively prepared starters, making it suitable for vegetarians and pescatarians. The attentive and efficient service ensures a delightful dining experience. Guests rave about the delicious desserts, including the chocolate coulant, tarta de mami, and milhoja. The staff is known for their helpful recommendations on both food and wine pairings.
Absolutely best cod & fries I ever had. We also had Mami’s avocado, the goat cheese salad and the cannelloni. Super charming staff and very authentic location. But, reason to come here should be the food. Incredible.

We went to this restaurant without reserving a table and they were straight forward finding a table for the two of us. Since we wanted to try tipical Canadian food, we asked to the waitress: she suggested us different options both for food and wine. Overall everyone took really good care of us and our food was delicious. We definitely recommend La Tasquita de Mami!

We could not decide which starters to choose so we only ordered that (2/person) These starters are generously portioned and creative, vegetarian-pescatarian friendly. service was attentive and fast despite a busy restaurant. The tortilla was a bit underseasoned. A delightful experience. Chocolate tart with orange icecream is very good.
