Tasca 1900 is a restaurant that was discovered by a couple using maps to find a place to eat. Despite the language barrier (they only spoke Spanish with some English), the kind server took the time to explain every dish on the menu. The food and service were exceptional, making it the best dining experience since arriving in Tenerife.
This is that local hidden gem that you are looking for. 5 stars not fair and not enough for this place. It is by far the best food we had not only on this island but in a long time. We will drive again from north of the island just to eat here again. It is a small place and is you want to support locals and also eat good there you go. Also we highly recommend to try cheesecake, will not be disappointed.

Home made Spanish food, I was expecting more from the food, nothing special if I have to be honest. Two stars for the service, they don’t have a written menu but just on the board, and more of all, they don’t speak English, it was hard to understand what they say and what they offer in the menu.
I liked the small village and the place, great music and atmosphere.
This locale is a big surprise. All the dishes were sensational. Even the fried beans were delicious. The mango octopus and squid were prepared superbly. The croquettes were so good that I didn't manage to take a picture. The lack of an international menu is a slight problem, but I guess that adds to the charm of this establishment.
Great local food. You should make a reservation, because it can be full.
Food is good. The menu is rather small and focused solely in pork. Which is fine in itself, but starters/tapas were more exciting to us than the actual main courses. Worth the trip though, the area and town is very nice.
Local spanish/canarian restaurant, no English.
It may appear as a secluded bar just behind the main town square, but it's only a facade to a great kitchen with friendly service. We had the mango gazpacho, fried beans, grilled goat cheese, and the pork cheeks, which we all recommend. We traveled around tenerife and la palma, but this restaurant was the best! Hidden gem💎
What an amazing hidden gem! Great, authentic and full of flavours. The originality of the dishes blew me away. We took the tempura string beans which was the best. Then the aubergines, crispy and drizzled with honey, the ferrero rochers which is dried red blood covered in nuts with spicy mango salsa. And finally croquettes. 100% recommend!
They don’t speak english that well, but they are very helpful and trying to help you order. If you can speak some spanish and would like to have some great food, you should come here.

Nestled in the heart of Mount Teide, Restaurante Piedras del Teide is a charming eatery that perfectly captures the essence of Canarian culture. After an adventurous day exploring the stunning landscapes, this restaurant offers a delightful respite with its authentic Spanish ambiance. Diners can indulge in a variety of dishes, from flavorful starters like Italian bruschetta to hearty vegetarian options and succulent meat selections such as Chuleton de vaca madurado and chuleta de cerdo.
Lovely cute restaurant with a whole lot of culture and soul. If you want authentic Spanish setting on mount teide look no further. Had an Italian bruschetta for starter, vegetarian dish for main and a lovely lemon mousse for dessert, this meal was part of an Tenerife stars and star gazing excursion provided by smile excursions.

Super nice and lovely staff!
Large portion with reasonable price
home salad has various fresh ingredients
veal steak was tender and juicy
Even bread with garlic sauce was crispy
Great place!!!
Beautiful place, lovely staff members, reasonable prices, tasty food and especially the wine 🥰🥰🥰 Definitely recommend visiting!!!
A place for meat lovers 😋 Chuleton de vaca madurado was delicious, one of the best on Tenerife! On the second visit we tried chuleta de cerdo- juicy and crispy! And also very fresh, great cooked! Everything we tried was very tasty!! Super service! Thanks a lot!👏😊
We came here before doing the star gazing experience with Tenerife stars! Amazing food and portions were great!
Very nice and cozy place.
Typical canarian food, delicious meat and very good local wine.
I would definitely visit this restaurant once again! 😍
Went to the restaurant quite hungry after a long trip to the Teide. Have ordered Soup and two main meals (actually marked in menu as starters) as well as local wine. All of the items was delicious and worth paid money. Additionally to the excellent food and drinks we had a chance to enjoy folk musi, kind waiters and sheff.
Certainly recommend to choose this place to enjoy your lunch or dinner!
It was delicious! Also friendly staff and nice wine.

Basque restaurant
M.B Martin Berasategui is a renowned Michelin-starred restaurant located at the luxurious Ritz-Carlton Abama. The restaurant offers a fusion of Japanese and Basque cuisine, showcasing the culinary expertise of chef Martin Berasategui. With an extensive wine cellar boasting over 500 labels, diners can indulge in a diverse range of flavors.
The decor of the restaurant are simple yet cool and modern. The staff is really prepared, knowledgeable and nice. As soon as we arrived they introduced themselves to us and offered an aperitif as part of the experience (4 different dishes), we then moved to the main restaurant room to have dinner. We tried The Great Classics menu with wine pairing, if you love wine I really recommend to do the wine pairing. The wines were really unique compared to other michelin star restaurants we have tried. Once we finished our menu, we were invited to seat back in the room where we had the first aperitif and they presented us the sweet cart called the petite four, you can choose few sweets directly from there, I loved it!
Vicky P — Google review
The food is nice and interesting. We liked our mains (turbot and lamb), the apple tart, and the bread service. It was enough food to feel full at the end. However, there were a few things that we didn’t love.
The service is very proper and the servers seem occupied with table manners and synchronized serving etc., but it seemed like they were so busy trying to get everything “right” that they were not fully present. They move you through rooms during “the experience” like musical chairs, so you have a bunch of different servers during one meal for different things. It’s also very disappointing (borderline shocking for a fine dining restaurant) that our reservation asked us for our occasion (proposal celebration - we got engaged yesterday!) but there was zero acknowledgment. Not sure why they would ask for that info upfront and then totally ignore. Another weird thing was when we had an unexpected charge on the bill for us splitting an appetizer, the server asked us if there was anything he could do instead of just offering to waive the couple-euro fee. He did waive the fee in the end, but it was a surprising way to address the situation.
The decor and ambiance reminded us of a cruise ship. It’s strangely brightly lit and the seating is all in open couches. Few windows. There’s a big console in the middle of the dining room that looks like a buffet table. There’s no sense that you’re on the beautiful island of Tenerife.
It’s really, really quiet. It also wasn’t busy at all.
We liked the food, but because of the high price and those drawbacks, would not come back.
We were excited to try MB but left feeling disappointed on several fronts. The atmosphere was clinical, and while the service was efficient, the style of the servers felt detached, with more emphasis on procedure than on guest experience.
We chose the Great Tasting Menu, which proved mixed: a couple of standout dishes (the eel and lamb) shone, but others seemed overly complicated, as though they were trying too hard. The wine pairing was generally enjoyable, though a few unusual selections (presumably by design) were quite difficult to drink.
The obligatory smoke effects made an appearance, and the dinnerware was undeniably beautiful. Overall, however, it was a disappointing—and very expensive—experience.
It was a quiet Thursday evening on a first seating..and we had the most spectacular service! We were warmly welcomed by the beautiful hostess, and were seated at the salon for the starters. We also got a great recommendation from the sommelier. After which, we were led into the main dining area. Very clean and minimalistic, scandic design which pops from the salmon pink architecture of the resort. The staff were absolutely amazing (Bryan and Dennis *?*) who made sure we were looked after. It felt like 30 minutes even though we sat there for 2 hours! The presentation was terrific and the staff showed genuine care about our entire experience ❤️ I think it's important to note that; living in CPH, we have great restaurants & food all over and it's quite hard to experience something memorable. As for the food, take a look 🤤💕🥂 try it and be impressed! Through out the experience, a cart of curated cheese and bread is rolled out.
The foie gras and tuna tartar was my absolute favorite and the Millefeuille with smoked eel was sooo creative! The surprise for me was the lukewarm vegetables, they made me enjoy my greens 💚 not really big on desserts but the apple tart was superb!
They also surprised me with a chocolate mousse cake in the massive birthday cake with the candle!
Came here with a group of 5 and when we first arrived we were excited for the experience. The appetizers and drinks upon arrival were relatively tasty and the starters were delicious BUT we were disappointed and shocked when the entrees were served. The steak and the suckling pig were both extremely dry and overcooked and the sea bass was tasteless and not what you would expect from a Michelin star restaurant. We never send food back but my wife could not even chew the steak so we asked for a recook, somehow something got lost in translation and the recooked steak was even worse.
The desserts were no better, the apple tart and corn ice cream thing was absolutely not what you would expect from a restaurant that claims to be of a high caliber.
The lighting and atmosphere of the setting has that of a conference room with lights that are way too bright.
Some of the servers seemed to understand the assignment while others were abrupt and unprofessional.
Overall the experience was interesting but I would never recommend this place as there is nothing that stands out and for the price is definitely not worth it.
We have been to multiple Michelin Star restaurants in multiple countries and this one was by far the most disappointing.
Ok so not what I was expecting from a 2 star Michelin restaurant. The food is very good but certainly not any better than some of the other food we had in Tenerife or the Ritz Carlton Abama and for the price it only gets a 3 star rating on here for me . The decor is very modern but the lighting is not very ambient and quite a harsh white clinical lighting . Very odd. The service was not particularly great and as the restaurant got more busy the waiters and waitresses got overwhelmed . I heard multiple customer complaining that they did not get offered drinks and drinks were not topped up. We had an open bottle of water that we could not reach and the waiters didn’t once come and refill. These are service basics that you get in non Michelin restaurants. Some of the food was great such as a bread made from puff pastry which I would love to have again but nothing else really stood out . Food however looked very artistic and beautifully presented.
This was my first 2 star Michelin experience and albeit I'm not normally a fan of fine dining, we decided to treat ourselves.
For me, the food was probably not to my personal taste but this was so much more than just food. This was an experience. One I won't forget.
The staff were incredible, I put 4 stars but it's more like 4.5, bar a few tiny tiny issues they were knowledgeable, attentive, friendly and warm and quick like lightening considering they had quite a few tables to tend to at a high level of service.
The food looked and was presented incredibly well. I will admit my taste is more steak and potatoes than haute cuisine but it was so interesting to see how everything was presented and you could tell the amount of work gone into these dishes was exceptional
The restaurant itself has a fabulous relaxed chic neutral atmosphere. The wine suggested by our waiter was delicious and the whole experience from aperitif to petit four at the end was divine.
The head chef presents himself at each table to check how the experience is.
At nearly €650 plus tip for 2, this was all about the experience for me. Well done.
Fabulous experience and a must if you can afford it!
No wonder they earned 2 stars as the gastronomic experience was out of this world, service and staff is a top notch!
The presentation was absolutely beautiful, and wine pairing is recommended!
Set beautifully in Ritz Carlton, a very romantic, high class experience you’ll want to repeat if your pocket can afford it!

Japanese restaurant
Akira Back Tenerife is a culinary gem that showcases the innovative spirit of its namesake, a former professional snowboarder turned Michelin Star chef. This modern Japanese restaurant invites diners into a sleek and stylish atmosphere where every detail is meticulously curated to enhance your dining experience. The focus here is on beautifully presented dishes that are as much a feast for the eyes as they are for the palate.
We had a lovely a la carte dinner here. Some of the best sushi I’ve had and a great atmosphere. We sat at the sushi bar and enjoyed watching the chefs at work.

Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. The service was excellent, Antonio went above and beyond to make our experience special. We got to try so many lovely wines local to the Canary Islands, which paired perfectly with the rolls we ordered. One of the best Japanese meals we’ve had, with exceptional flavours and textures.
A special note to Angel, Jorge and Oscar for making our dining experience really amazing.
We got a cocktail in the terrace before dinner, it was a perfect place to enjoy good a nice cocktail alongside a dazzling sunset.
Then dinner inside, the atmosphere of the restaurant is unbeatable, cozy and intimate.
The service there is very attentive.
Food is truly Michelin star standard, it was one of the most luscious meal I’ve had the privilege of experiencing.
It does NOT have Michelin start, it seems that the restaurant wants to confuse people. We had upgraded tasting menu. Food was very average for high prices. No wow effect whatsoever, interior is old too, and we could not eat some dishes because of how bad they tasted. Attached photo is of their most “famous” main - tiny and horrendous. Out of all Tenerife and Ritz restaurants, Akira Back was the worst - we did not expect it. Do not waste your money and time, do not recommend.
Had high hopes for this restaurant but the food was very underwhelming to be honest and frankly not deserving Michelin in my opinion.
Despite the above mentioned the quality of the produce and the freshness of all the seafood were still on point. I especially enjoyed the prawn dish, the sushi, and the pork. However the dessert was something I didn’t enjoy at all, one of the components was very bitter even the sickly sweetly parts of the dessert couldn’t balance that and the other bits as I said was just overly sweet and had no other aromas.
The service was good but the price was not justified by the overall flavours in my opinion
Amazing experience. The entire Kabuki dinner is really something you should try. The food is great, the service is very professional with a human touch. Everything you would expect from a 🌟 restaurant. We had the tasting menu and in the order of the pictures. There was not one bad or simi good course, they were all great. We will be back. Great car service back and forth to RC. A must visit.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10,000/10 – Perfection from Start to Finish
This restaurant truly deserves every bit of praise. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being intrusive. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, offering thoughtful recommendations and ensuring every detail was just right.
And the food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was beautifully presented, bursting with flavor, and clearly made with the freshest ingredients. You could taste the passion and precision in every bite. It’s rare to find a place where everything — from starters to dessert — is consistently exceptional, but this spot nailed it.
Not a single complaint. Just pure culinary bliss and flawless hospitality. I’d give it more than 5 stars if I could. An unforgettable experience that raises the bar for dining out. We’ll be back — again and again.
We had a wonderful overall dining experience. Tasting menu is a must, similar to other michelin restaurants, but this is not your standard sushi omakase experience. The Japanese and Spanish fusion is done very intelligently. Presentation is top notch, and flavors lean more Spanish.

Nestled in a charming hillside town on the west coast, Restaurante Las Goteras is a hidden gem that beckons meat lovers from near and far. This rustic eatery may not boast flashy decor or polished service, but it more than makes up for it with its mouthwatering offerings.
We have been going to Las Goteras for a few years now and the food has always been brilliant.
The waiters were so professional and helpful.
The meat display at the meat counter is mouthwateringly good.
We always go up there when we fancy a meat feast.
The starters are delicious. But the main causes are large so it might be an idea to share one mains between 2 people.
This restaurant gets really busy in the evening, when we got there there were lots of people waiting for tables. So I highly recommend phoning them to make a reservation.

We were searching for an authentic, traditional warm restaurant with a local feel to it—something a bit further off the beaten track, featuring amazing food and smiley locals. We found it all and more in this gem of a place. With a beautiful rustic interior, a charming courtyard seating area, and a team of extremely professional waiters, the place is truly unforgettable. The food was fantastic, the meat fresh and spicy, and the bill surprisingly low. One of the best experiences I’ve had during my stay in Tenerife. Make sure you try the mushrooms – both the grilled wood ear mushroom and well as garlic champignons are to die for.
Everything was so tasty! 🔥
Padron peppers and the grilled mushrooms were very good. And also the lamb chops were tender and well done. The staff is very nice and friendly!
Rustic food, lovely staff, great wine and fabulous food! Curios on walls and around the restaurant were amazing! kettles, coffee pots, weapons and irons! But the star of the show was the delicious meat and garbanzo!
We decided to try, and are SO glad we did! Delicious food and wines, great prices, and in a beautiful setting. Service was excellent. Highly recommend!
Very good lamb chop, large portions, not cheap, service could be by far better. 🅿️ no problem. Exquisite big-Barraquito
We spent two weeks in Costa Adeje in 2024 and 2025 also, and visited many restaurants. Honestly, the best place we have visited in Tenerife ever! Very charming place with a nice terrace, very kind staff, decent meal (mighty and delicius portions) and very reasonably prices. Absolutly highly recommended.
If you are a meat lover, then you must visit this restaurant. Different types of meat - pig, lamb, rabbit, chicken, sausages. The garlic prawns were fantastic. Mixed salad with avocado, onions, tuna, corn, beets, olives, lettuce leaves - just perfect. And yes - portion sizes were also surprising!

Restaurante las Estrellas is a casual dining spot that offers typical Canarian dishes, making it a great place to experience local cuisine. While the food, including grilled meats and generous salads, is enjoyable, what truly sets this restaurant apart are the breathtaking views. Situated on the edge of a mountain overlooking a pine forest and coastline with three neighboring islands in sight, it's no wonder that hikers, bikers, and day-trippers are drawn to its plain yet charming confines.
Exactly what we needed after a 5h tour in the Teide area.
Food was simple and really well made; very tasty. Service was friendly and super quick.
And the panoramic view is spectacular.

Flies everywhere. Sorry the food was disgusting and way too salty. We had to refuse to eat. I only had 1/2 chicken, water, potatoes and it costed 18,08 euro. Unbelievable. Typical tourist trap.
Stopped here during a rainy and foggy climb up Tiede. What a pleasant surprise!
Food was outstanding and very reasonably priced. Everything we ordered - the Roasted chicken, Mushroom in Garlic, Chickpea Soup- was stellar. Even ordered a crusty bread roll to sop up the heavenly garlic oil 💕.
Sangria was also excellent- flavorful and thankfully not overly sweet. Even had strawberries and peaches that you don’t see elsewhere.
Service was super friendly and helpful. And Maria, the Robo-Server, was a fun bonus! Highly recommend!
Such a great restaurant ,saved it because think to come back.
Very nice food,service,place,view.
We’ve been deserved at high level.
I’ve had lamb chops which I recomand.
Prices are very reasonable.
Many car park spots,smoking area,outside terraced.
Fantastic little stop on the way up or down Teide with fantastic views over the sea. Little robots bring you food out before the waiters hand them out. Food was great
Tasty food, super friendly waiters.
Found a table right away, we ordered very fast. Food came fast.
We didn't need any reservation.
I recommend the place
Best place I've been at in our 10 days holiday in Tenerife. Very good service, amazing atmosphere with a lovely view! Food is amazing and fresh, if you get a chance come and check it out! Recommend it 100%
They thrive on their location on the road to the national park. Very unfriendly staff. The waiter didn't ask if we wanted food or just drinks and was then visibly annoyed when we only wanted drinks and dessert. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Food okay, location good.

Stopped in for coffee, snacks and a beer after visiting Mount Teide. All the locals were very welcoming and the lady doing the serving was super friendly. Very cheap and great services. Would recommend for a bit of local flavour!
Nice place for a pit stop
What a nice place to visit in Guía de Isora when passing by! The people working there are extremely friendly and helpful. The food served by the kitchen is really good and there's a big variety of local foods to choose from. The portions are also big so you cannot leave this place hungry. There's also nice space to sit - both in more social area and if you need more quiet time. I would definitely recommend
I highly recommend this restaurant as we were treated very well and attentive. The food was very good, we had chicken escalope.
If you pass by stop and grab a bite
Great little place, very convenient location for cyclists. Food was nice, serving quick and our waiter spoke English. Card payment accepted, good value as well.

Restaurante Brasas de Chirche is a charming family-run restaurant located in a small mountain village in Tenerife. The roads leading to the restaurant are winding and narrow, adding to the adventure of getting there. The owner is known for being friendly, although they may indulge in some drinks on certain days.
We were looking for a local and unusual place and found it. A very authentic rural restaurant. We ordered grilled shrimps and garlic bread with sauces. Surprisingly, the shrimps were very fresh and tasty. We also tried a local cake with cream and sweet sauce as a dessert. Thanks to the owner for delicious dishes and excellent service.

We liked the food - it was very tasty!!! Atmosphere - authentic Spanish village, must be tolerant to cleanliness, style, etc. For us it was very interesting experience, we quested how much the owner had drunk, but all food we ordered was very good!
Sopa de pescado y mariscos and carne de cabra con papas arrugadas were delicious. The white eine from Vilaflor was very good. And Conchi the cook shared with us the receipt for the soup, she chated with us, she is a very sympathetic and positive person.
We will definitely return.
Restaurant is located in a small mountain spanish village. The roads up there really bendy and narrow ( glad I did not have to drive there in the dark)
Restaurent is great and owner very friendly ( also quite drunk by the time we left. We went on a Sunday, maybe this is the time where they have a few drinks with their friends)
Food is really good. They asked if we wanted a few Spanish appetizers and glad we said yes. They were really delicious and the price for the food is good as well
We ordered an omelette, it was reheated, it was still cold in some places. The vegetables were not fresh. The coffee tasted strange. Although we didn't order, they brought spreads and bread, for which they added 5€ to the bill
Excelent home cuisine as at grandma's kitchen. Friendly stuff and atmosphere🙂
Initially we thought what a nice place, the service very kind, recomended some dishes, and we took them. Unfortunately, orange juice we got was not fresh, slightly fermented, we got it changed. Fish soup was very good, but other than that, food was not recommendable, again old potatoes served with ribs. Later, we have asked 3 times for the bill. Just not worth it.
Highly recommend - we had to most amazing experience! The food is delicious and the portion size was huge. The waitress/chef and owner were all so friendly.
The roads to the restaurant were very steep and bumpy but it was an adventure!

We visited this guachinche to try the wine, which was simply amazing. We also had the chickpeas, fried cheese and potatoes, and it was delicious too. Authentic, friendly atmosphere.
Edit: After trying other establishments, I must say this one is the best by far! I can't recommend it enough. I'd visit it every day if I could. ✨
I can’t recommend this guachinche enough. Just go. This is the real authentic Canarian experience. Try the goat—honestly try everything. The wine is delightful, and refreshing. The vibe is so fun, the staff is warm hearted and has the best sense of humor. Thank you so much for having us ❤️
Delicious food to accompany the 1st class wine in our favourite Guachinche. Charming friendly people complete the wonderful atmosphere. We just keep going back!
I wrote a great review of this wonderful place a month ago. I’m writing again because we just got another takeout dinner from Abreu tonight, our last night on the island. We’ve been here 7 weeks. Tonight sealed the deal! These good people really know how to cook Guachinche, make great wine, and be incredibly welcoming and nice! We had goat for two again, a serving of fabadas with chunks of local ham, and some Canarian flan. Everything was soooo soooo good. Like the last time, the goat was the best ever, very tender and falling off the bone in a great Canarian sauce. And the fava beans and flan were delicious, too. We’ll definitely come here again next year, and more than once. Excellent all around!!
Ambience is subjective⚓️😊 The rest is simply amazing if you want to eat REAL Tenerife food! The wine is also delicious 🤤
Amazing place very familiar and cozy. Wine produced by the owners and delicious. The meat is amazing! And best of everything, very cheap! Even for Tenerife prices.
We stumbled upon this place and it was awesome. The food was amazing and the experience we had there was unparalleled. The owner was so sweet and the food was delicious. Try the house white wine.

Basque restaurant
Restaurant
TXOKO by Martin Berasategui is a delightful homage to the vibrant Basque culinary tradition, focusing on tapas and pinchos with a creative twist. Nestled near The Ritz-Carlton, Abama's El Lago pool, this restaurant offers not only exquisite dishes but also a picturesque setting that enhances the dining experience. With an emphasis on collaboration among local teams across his establishments at the resort, including M.B and Melvin, Berasategui showcases his commitment to culinary excellence.
We dined here multiple nights during our stay for dinner, staff were great and the food was really exceptionally good! In particular the desserts (Lemon Tart and the Rice Pudding!) We would highly recommend
James R — Google review
Absolutely do not recommend. Terrible service, you will be ignored the whole time and you’ll have to wait an hour for your food! We had to wait 20 minutes for the waiter to write down the order AND 48 minutes for a salad in the photo! Restaurant was 1/3 full. Most of the tables are empty and you still get the most horrendous service of the whole Tenerife trip.
As we arrived, food was the forefront of our minds and recommended by the hotel staff Txoko was an absolute pleasure .
One of the standout dishes I had the pleasure of trying was the lamb shank. It was a true masterpiece. The lamb was incredibly tender, falling off the bone with each bite, and the flavors were a delightful blend of savory herbs and spices. It was comfort food at its finest, and we loved every minute of it.
As we had just landed this was what was needed. We were not disappointed.
The croquettes were also a highlight of the meal. These little bites of heaven were perfectly crispy on the outside, giving way to a creamy and flavorful filling. Whether you choose the traditional ham and cheese or one of the other varieties,
Dessert - French toast, there are no words
The service was excellent, with a knowledgeable and attentive staff that added to the overall dining experience.
Great restaurant with incredible service (extra thanks to Gabriel and Anna)! Don’t miss the croquettes and Iberian pork main.
Zero stars. This was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve ever had, especially at a Michelin restaurant inside the Ritz-Carlton. After being seated, no one came to our table for over 10 minutes until we asked the hostess to send someone. We placed our order, but after sitting for an hour (watching other tables receive their food that were seated after us) we ultimately left hungry.
We ordered salads, steak tartare, lobster rolls, and pasta, none of which were ever served. Instead, the hostess offered to comp us fish and chips from the pool snack bar, an insulting gesture given the circumstances. When I asked to speak with a manager, I was told there wasn’t one available.
For a restaurant of this caliber, the lack of service, accountability, and basic hospitality is unacceptable.
Beautiful food, nice atmosphere and lighting by the swimming pool in the evening and very friendly staff. The fried hake dish on the specials menu was very tasty , flaky & juicy fish. Would love to have again! My wife had the Wagu cheeks and they were also great.
It was our second time here after we’ve been satisfied with our experience last year. However we got disappointed, the service was really bad and we got ignored most of the time while other tables were served well. Out of 2 hours we were here, we’ve spent approximately waiting more than 1 hour for someone to take our order and to get the bill. The dessert was also only half of the size of last year, which we were most excited about. Can’t say anything negative about the food itself but the whole experience was so disappointing. We thought we saved best for last but it was actually our worst experience here this time.
Avoid for lunch- chargrilled octopus with grilled veg would have been measly even if it were a starter and for €24 an absolute rip off. Ditto for pork sliders which were all fat. Service friendly, but cumbersome. Ages to be seated. Have given 2 stars as the margarita cocktail was good.

Verde Mar is a restaurant that takes a vegetable-forward approach to its home-style cooking, with an emphasis on fresh produce and locally-sourced meats and fish. The menu offers simple preparations that allow the quality of the ingredients to shine. The staff is helpful in guiding diners through the menu, suggesting smaller plates and main meals for a satisfying dining experience. While the focus is on vegetarian and vegan options, there are also choices to add fish or meat as accompaniments.
We had a great experience with our family of 4. The food was delicious, inventive, and well balanced. We took 2 veggie starters, 2 mains and 2 protein supplements. All were great, also if you would go without the fish/ meat. We had an amazing white wine (Tameran) from the Canaries to pair our dinner. The hotel restaurants offer really nice kids menus for all tastes (not the regular, unhealthy options). The service was excellent, professional but relaxed, and the pace was perfect. One of the ladies spoke French, which the girls really liked. Definitely recommend!

Interesting take on classics, with the vegetables being the main dish and the meat the side, instead of the other way round. The location is near the parking lot, so a bit less scenic than other restaurants in the resort, but overall a nice experience.
Love the concept of this restaurant. We’ve been a few times and it works for vegans, vegetarians and meat lovers and vegan/vegetarian curious diners.
The menu is mainly vegan and veggie but with side dishes and portions of meat and fish dishes.
Everything is seasonal, local and organic. Dishes are creative and flavourful. Seasoning is in the dressings on the dishes. In this review I cannot say the word delicious enough! Dishes are beautifully presented, bursting as much with creativity and colour as they are with flavours.
We ordered the bread to begin with aubergine and cheese dip along with air dried veg.
To start we had the tempura of spring onions served with green mojo sauce on the side. and the roasted carrot and beetroot.
For our main dishes we ordered too much food firstly but enjoyed every morsel. The sweet potato with roasted corn topping and a hummus. The roasted cauliflower. The canarian chicken and the tuna. One side would have been plenty.
My husband ordered the coco passion to finish. Again delicious.
You really won’t taste more delicious and flavoursome vegetables.
If you get the opportunity do try this restaurant highly recommend it. You won’t be disappointed.
My daughter and I dined here whilst staying at the hotel. It was an excellent choice. From the moment we arrived we were well looked after. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was exceptional. It was nicely presented and the flavours in the choices we had were excellent. We would highly rate this restaurant.
An absolute delightful experience.
This restaurant is located within the Ritz Abama hotel.
Strongly suggest to make reservations. The staff upon arrival was lovely, and accommodating. They paid attending to little details to perfect our dining experience.
This restaurant offers LOTS of VEGETARIAN OPTIONS! Everything is fresh.
Delicious flavors, we came here twice during our stay in Abama.
Would highly recommend.
Everyone at our table was delighted with the food - including those who usually head to a steakhouse, they were seriously impressed by how good vegetarian food can be. Service was also superb apart from after requesting ‘a couple more minutes’ with the menu we had to call a waiter after ten minutes.
Amazing food and very friendly service. The roasted cauliflower was mind blowing.
Fantastic food and restaurant! It was the best restaurant on Ritz grounds. Very unexpected, definitely recommend it! Attentive service and tasty food

Lovely ambience, service and presentation.
A little limited menu wise, especially as many dishes only serve 2 people without a single portion option. It’s expensive, chicken Caesar salad €22 and hotdog with no sides a similar price. Good taste and no complaints!
I like that they bring the bottle of cava to the table to pour it. The cava is probably one the best value drinks on the menu. Really refreshing and delicious for fans of sparkling wine, and bonus points it’s Spanish. Nice live music Saturday evening.

This charming Italian eatery has garnered rave reviews for serving some of the finest pizza around, making it a beloved spot among locals and tourists alike.

Wonderful and delightful food, location and experience. If you want to eat here make sure you reserve some seats. I had a pizza inferno it was amazing. You can feel the love they put into their craft. We also had white wine. Wonderful taste as well. The price is high but so is the quality, expertise and taste.

This restaurant was such a great find and experience. The food was amazing, and the waiters were extremely friendly. This is a great family friendly restaurant! I personally would recommend the Boris Johnson pasta dish. Thank you!
We absolutely love Plazale. We make sure we come back every time we are in Tenerife. The atmosphere and service is always above and beyond and they are so good with children. My children always remember the special pink drink they get. We love the Donald trump pasta and the margarita pizza with a mozzarella ball in the middle is delicious. The owner is super friendly and passionate about what he does. We can’t wait to be back in December. Highly recommend.
We had a great dinner at the Plazale. We were given complimentary prosecco on our arrival and finished off with complimentary limoncello which was very nice. The pizza and pasta were delicious and service was great. Would definitely recommend this place!
We were there as a couple and tasted each other's food. Pizza Princesa was perfect, Joe Biden pasta a bit spicy for my taste. However, the quality of the ingredients, the careful preparation was impeccable. The chef/owner is absolutly nice and caring.
Absolutely beautiful pizza!! Make a booking in advance and bring your appetite. Well worth it!!
Such a great small Italian place, great food and service! 🍝🍕
Great food, atmosphere and location. Would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful dinner at La Boca Rie, thanks to our fantastic host, and the excellent dishes. It was a real experience, not just a dinner.
We ordered squid and gambo as the starter, and steak as our main. The portions were so generous, that even though we wanted to have dessert, we did not have space anymore in our stomach.
The service really makes you feel as a valued guest. Thank you for this great experience, warmly recommending La Boca Rie for all who want to add happy moments to their holidays!
Great food and service, wonderful enthusiasm of the waiters. Love their knowledge of languages and their friendlyness and humour!
What a fantastic dining experience! Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but the host was also phenomenal. Our large company, which included two babies, was so impressed, and the host went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Their recommendations were perfect, and they handled everything with such grace and kindness.
Best fish carpaccio in a long time. Fantastic steak and fries with mushroom and green pepper sauce. Super friendly french hosts. All in all a very satisfying and memorable experience - definitely recommended!
Generally tasty food, good 4, friendly entertaining owner, fine atmosphere
Excellent dinner, steak and sausages both cooked perfectly and super flavourful. Sides were super tasty and my partner would have feasted on the homema butter alone! The hosts were so nice and made for an excellent dinner. We immediately booked a table for another dinner experience. Mercí!!
A delicious dinner. Excellent fish and a wonderful dessert. Very friendly, professional service, top-notch. Highly recommended.

My husband and I are foodies and if you on Tenerife I highly recommend going to this restaurant, it was one of the highlights of the trip as it was hard to find good quality food which was not a trap for tourists. It is family run restaurant where service and food are incredible. Also location is great as you seat with a view over the sunset. We went for the tasting menu which was great and definetely will come back again
Small, unassuming restaurant with fantastic food and service. Authentic French cooking at great prices. I loved the pork shank with onions and mustard, with a dame blanche to finish. Free parking is offered for 2 hours, which is convenient.
Very pleasant dining experience! We were greeted by a lovely French lady who was very friendly and provided us with blankets to keep us from getting cold sitting outside🥺. The food was delicious too, we had duck liver, king prawns, duck confit and pork shank, all very satisfying. We will definitely visit again if we are in Tenerife again.❤️🥰
The food was fresh, flavorful and delicious. You can see how much passion this couple has in their restaurant and it showed in their hospitality. Highly recommend! :)
really nice food and friendly service.
we will definitely come back.
Casa Gusto in Playa San Juan, Tenerife, is a must-visit restaurant where Pascal and Marina create culinary magic. Their menu offers a delightful fusion of flavors, showcasing their talent and passion for food and people.

A really great host and chef. We had the special which was a Canarian pork dish and had padròn peppers and goat cheese to start.

Really nice food, and very friendly waiter and hard working Chef team. I had a Godzilla pork chop, we also had Octopus and Chicken breast. All really well cooked with reduced balsamic vinegar sauces and sides of salad and chips. There are also special fish dishes of the day, Including some for two to share that are a kilogram of fish to eat! Make sure you are hungry before coming. Recommend to reserve a table or you may have to wait until it's quieter. Thanks for a lovely meal, we'll be back!
Friendly service, large portions especially compared to low prices, very good food.
Brilliant food, especially the pizza. Lovely friendly staff and a great place to spend some time. Would 100% recommend.

The 3 RAICES STEAKHOUSE & WINEBAR in Alcala is a delightful and remarkable restaurant that offers a fantastic dining experience. Situated in the charming town of Alcala, this eatery provides excellent service, a pleasant ambiance, and exceptional cuisine. The starters like the fondue are exquisite, while the cheesecake dessert is simply divine. The house local red wine is not only delicious but also reasonably priced.

Still very good. We had the tasting menu this time. More than enough high quality dishes with Blue fin tuna, Wagyu, Octopus and veal tartare. Molto bene!
2024:
This diner in Tenerife was really good.
We had bluefin tuna carpaccio and some cheeses and lomo / Iberico sausage. What a great taste! After that secreto Iberico. Perfectly prepared and a wow taste! I can still "taste" it , even when we are back home now :-).
The wine was also excellent. The waiter / owner was a bit stressed we thought but that didn't make any difference for our experience.
Ok a bit more expensive than other restaurants but certainly worth it.

Incredible food. Well worth the visit. We had some great red wine from Tenerife. I'd recommend booking as it got very busy.
A real secret spot for anyone who loves delicious steaks or perfectly prepared food. An excellent wine selection, great ambiance, and fantastic service create a truly comfortable atmosphere. The desserts are also well worth the price. Not exactly cheap, but worth every penny.
The restaurant was so good that I decided to leave a review. The service was perfect from start to finish — just the way you’d want it to be. It starts with the warm welcome and continues with the attentive service throughout. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable about their restaurant, and provide information about what they offer without being pushy. They clearly value the quality of their food and stand out from the typical mass tourism spots. Quality over quantity. Making a reservation is recommended, as it’s a rather small restaurant tucked away in a side alley. The price is a bit higher than at the typical tourist spots by the beach, but it’s absolutely worth it. I’d recommend it to anyone who values high-quality meat. To top it all off: the food was fantastic. The meat was cooked to perfection, our fries were homemade, and so were the sauces. Compliments to the entire crew!
First I must say if your a fan of steak this is a must go to restaurant when staying in the area, it’s a lovely little bistro type restaurant very small in size but extremely cosy, the only one thing I would say with the whole experience is that the man in charge needs to be a little bit more smiley with new customers coming through the door. It seemed like it was a chore when seating people and taking their orders with his facial expressions.. other than this we phoned that experience very nice. The food was excellent at the price you can’t really beat. Also the selection of wines that are available was fantastic.
We really enjoyed dining at this restaurant.
The restaurant is located on a smaller side street and protected from the sun so it's nice and cool. We loved the decor. Very cute, yet modern. The food quality was excellent. We both had fillet steak, which were cooked to perfection (medium requested). The fries were freshly cut and cooked and they were truly delicious! We also had a salad which was portioned well and the ingredients were fresh and tasty. My wife really enjoyed the house red wine. Flavourful, fruity, and light.
The staff were very attentive and all spoke perfect English.
I would highly recommend a visit!
Very nice restaurant, friendly and helpful service, food was very good, interesting and reasonably priced wine list.
It just loses a star for being over-priced relative to the area. We knew this so it wasn't a problem, but they're being a bit ambitious in their food pricing (think London prices).
Absolutely amazing. I’m so picky with steak but we followed the recommendation and I can say this is the best steak I’ve ever had. For the quality taste and texture the price is absolutely worth it

Nestled in the charming town of Alcala, Restaurante Casa Mon is a delightful haven for seafood lovers seeking an authentic dining experience. With its relaxed vibe and welcoming atmosphere, this eatery specializes in traditional fish dishes that are sure to tantalize your taste buds. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by friendly staff eager to assist you in selecting from their fresh offerings displayed right in the fridge. During my visit just after noon, I was thrilled to be among the first patrons of the day.
We went to Alcala for lunch today and managed to finally try Casa Mon.
I have always wanted to have a meal there because the restaurant looks so authentic and friendly.
We got there just after 12.30 today and we were the first people there. The waiter was so helpful and friendly, we chose our starter : a whole squid, then main course was half of a local fish that was caught today.
Everything was cooked to perfection with lots of garlic and olive oil.
The dishes we had were such honest, wholesome food, we totally enjoyed it.
We couldn’t finish the potatoes so they wrapped them up for us to take.
And the whole meal came to a very reasonable €70.
When we come back to Tenerife again next year we will certainly make sure to go to Casa Mon again.

Come, pick fresh fish and enjoy. Simple strong concept and it’s perfect. Nothing to be bettered. If you plan on coming after 7pm better book your table or count extra time for waiting. The servise is quick and prices so friendly for the quality you get there!
AMAZING! I think it was the best fish we had in Spain so far, pulpo a la gallega and the quesillo dessert were also delicious. Will be back for sure!
Great spot for sea food grill. Quantity is the name of the game here. Everything is fresh, clean, cooked very well and quick.
This is not fancy-elegant type of restaurant, but all is neat and clean. Besides grill itself fresh, hot buns and sauces are amazing!
As a point of improvement, adding a little more transparency to the price would be nice.
Very simple restaurant with the most incredible authentic food... exceptional flavours... we travel miles to come here every year. The best fish and tiramisu on the planet. Highly recommended 👌
Excellent fish restaurant 🍴 🐠 🐟, highly recommended! I have a gluten allergy and they took care of it as well. Great :)
Best food we've had in Tenerife. The seafood was fresh and so tasty! The owner made recommendations and helped us select fish and other dishes available on display. Service was attentive and professional. Desserts were also really good. Highly recommended!
Food was delicious. It is a town restaurant with an incredible experience, the menu is at the fridge, we chose what we wanted and they did it for us. Prices were at the end (we didn’t bother at all), prices are fair for the food that we received. Highly recommended!!

We stumbled upon Muelle Viejo in Alcalá when we got hungry around 3 PM and were looking for high-quality food. Alcalá doesn’t offer many options, especially in the afternoon and on certain weekdays, so we were delighted to find this gem.
The restaurant is located above the harbor and the swimming area, with an open front facing the sea—offering a breathtaking view. The decor is tasteful and stylish, creating a welcoming atmosphere.
We were asked if we had a reservation, which surprised us at this time of day. All window-side tables were taken, but we got a lovely spot in the second row. The food was absolutely outstanding! The octopus, tuna & shrimp salad was a true highlight, and both the mixed salad and grilled fish were also delicious.
We immediately made a reservation to return for dinner on another evening. Prices are slightly higher, but the quality and experience fully justify it. A fantastic restaurant in a beautiful setting—highly recommended!
Had lunch at 1330.
Such a nice fish restaurant.the owner( i think) makes you feel special( all the staff was very good)he made a menu for us , main course of sardine , potato , salade , all tenerife style. And just simpel very nice ice as dessert.all was very good en not expensive.
The seaview was outstanding.we will come back
Fresh and delicious food. Paella and fish carpaccio was amazing. Very friendly staff and great prices.
Amazing food! & affordable prices, staff are very welcoming and friendly would definitely recommend

Muelle Viejo is out of this world!
Hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The food was absolutely spectacular — every bite was bursting with flavor, from the freshest seafood to the perfectly cooked paella. Honestly, I’m a little scared to eat anywhere else in Tenerife now because nothing could compare!
But what really made it special was the team. The staff were beyond fun — they didn’t just serve us, they celebrated with us. The whole evening turned into pure joy, laughter, and incredible memories.
If you’re in Tenerife, run — don’t walk — to Muelle Viejo. It’s the kind of place that makes you fall in love with food all over again.
The food was delicious. The seafood board for two is okay, but maybe a bit small if you’re really hungry. The octopus was very tasty. The lobsters included in the board were on the smaller side. Overall, if you want a nice meal, this is a good place to come.
One downside for me was the service – I don’t like when waiters come too often and start clearing plates while you’re still sitting and eating. It felt a bit pushy.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
The best lobster we’ve ever had. The best grilled squid ever! Gracious service. Incredible views.
Cannot recommend this place enough. If you like seafood, and you’re in Tenerife, make Muelle your top choice.
Thank you Luis and team!

Extremely delicious and fresh sea food for very fair prices! Personal is very friendly and helpful.
Phone reservation was easy.
Unfortunately we just found out here in our last day. Otherwise we would’ve gone there every day! 🥹
Playa San Juan is located on the southwest coast of Tenerife, the part of the island with the best weather and the warmest water.
The 300-meter-long beach has a mix of dark, coarse sand and pebbles. A breakwater keeps the ocean calm, with no strong currents or waves. The gentle slope makes the water easy to enter—safe for children and ideal for anyone who prefers a quiet swim.
The beach has a Blue Flag certification for its excellent cleanliness, water quality, safety, and services.
Quite possibly the best seafood restaurant on Tenerife's west coast - you choose your fish at the counter and the staff cooks it for you perfectly. Everything's fresh and of excellent quality. The service is impeccable and the atmosphere very relaxed - book your table in advance if you can otherwise you risk missing out on this gem!
Perfect spot for dinner at sunset with the ocean waves lulling you. Simple authentic fresh!!!! All that and extremely budget friendly. And yes, the dinner was better than several I had at the Ritz Carlton
Everything was delicious and perfeeeect from the sangria to the fried fish to the grilled fish, the servers were all very friendly and nice and I’m pretty sure it’s the best place I ate at in Tenerife, and for the price it’s really really not much, I was surprised we ate that much fish for not that much money. I stroooongly recommend this place 🔥🔥🥰🥰
Such a good seafood place. The king prawn skewer yesterday was fabulous! Can’t get fresher fish. Go up to the counter choose your fish, dishes etc and bingo it’s there on your plate 10 min later.
Great quality of seafood. Very well made. Service is friendly and fast. Seafood spaghetti is possibly the best I had so far!

The restaurant also provides a superb selection of wines to accompany the delicious meals. The ambiance is clean and inviting, while the staff pays great attention to detail, ensuring a memorable dining experience for every guest.
We had a lovely meal here. We made a reservation after dropping in the night before when it was very busy, but not a problem for us. The service was excellent, very friendly and attentive, but also just let us relax with our meal. We had entrees instead of tapas and they were both delicious. The seafood was cooked perfectly. Without a starter we had room for dessert, such was very tasty too.

Super service and very friendly and family type atmosphere. Food was simply amazing with aubergine with honey and Parmesan being a star of the night. I highly recommend you to visit this restaurant.
To the owners and staff. Mucho Gracias :)
Very nice place to eat and enjoy ocean view in a day time. You can feel the ocean breeze in the evenings. Very kind service, but delicious food above all. I'm surprised that it's not overcrouded with such elegant service.
The most heavenly Spanish Tapas restaurant in Tenerife. We were a party of 9 and spent over 3 hours feasting and drinking at this fantastic establishment. Take your time eating the menu I highly recommend. Each and every dish is made with love, locally sourced ingredients and is bursting with flavours.
The service is impeccable.
What a great experience! Very delicious food and such an amazing service! Thank you for that wonderful dinner experience!
I had gamba and croquettes for steter and the chicken as a main course outstanding and I can highly recommend!
My beer came in a frozen Glas and my wife had very tasty wine.
Restaurant was very clean and the service with lots of attention and love to detail!
Lovely tapas fusion restaurant. The owner is lovely and they serve great seafood. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there. recommended
If only I could give 6 stars. We LOVE MarSala, absolutely delicious food and the kindest, loveliest owners you could hope to meet.
We only get to visit once a year when on holiday, but it's always fantastic and we're welcomed back as old friends - truly the definition of hospitality.
Hasta el proximo ano y muchas gracias! ❤️
January 2022 it was Delicious! The Tapas is extraordinary good, very well made, everything really fresh with excellent taste. Compliments to the chef Roberto!
Now in 2024 we went to the new location of MarSala in San Juan to have again a delicious lunch.
We had great starters with the grilled cheese and duck carpaccio. Both with exquisite flavors. As main course we had the mixed paella. This took about half an hour as this is also fresh made and prepared while we enjoyed our starters. The paella was really tasteful and filled with meat, fish and lobster. The dessert was the delicious South American quesillo! All accompanied with really delicious local white wine proposed by the owner who served the meals and kept our glasses full. Again a superb lunch we had with our friends from San Juan.

Toni’s Restaurant is a delightful hidden gem nestled in a quaint village, boasting an impressive 40 years of culinary expertise. This charming eatery offers a serene atmosphere that feels like a well-kept secret, often overlooked by tourists. The staff may not be fluent in English, but their warm hospitality shines through as they assist diners with menus available in various languages—though Estonian isn't one of them!
A Hidden Gem in Tenerife! 40 Years in the business of Flavour!
Toni's Restaurant is a true gem of Tenerife. With 40 years of culinary experience, it's no wonder their dishes are so incredibly delicious. We absolutely loved the pimiento padron and the paella; simply the best we've had on our entire trip in the south of the island.
The friendly and attentive staff made our dining experience really enjoyable. The lady waitress was incredibly polite and helpful. The owner himself guarantees the high food standards!
While the restaurant may not have a stunning ocean view, it's easy to find parking and the cozy interior has a charming traditional island style. It's spotlessly clean and creates a welcoming atmosphere.
If you're looking for authentic, delicious food in Tenerife, we highly recommend Toni's! It's a must-visit for anyone who appreciates amazing food and warm hospitality.

One of the best local restaurants I been there in the island that really deserve to pay a visit and try it. The food as expected and delicious. The lady who was serving us was so much better than elegant, classy, smiling and humble.
The restaurant looks very simple but their food is nice. For dessert, almost there are some kind of it depends on the season and home made😋.
Amazing pearl in the small village. No wander it has been there for so many years.
The restaurant is peaceful and looks like tourists do not visit it so often as it is a bit hidd3n. The staff is awesome and helpful. They do not speak English so well but everything can be ordered with pointing fingers and menus come in different languages ( not estonian though - joking ;) ).
It is a cosy place to have romantic lunch as we did with the family. The sea food is cooked fresh and in professional manner. The desserts are awesome. Desserts are delicious. And the amount of food- ooh we felt so full when we left. And liminchello they brought with the bill- it was a cherry on top.
I would highly recommend this place!
Food is excellent and good value. Service is superb and fast. Shook hands all around and met Toni. Ate here for most of our weeks stay in the area . After trying the other top three restaurants in trip advisers web site which were not as good. Toni’s is a great discovery and lovely traditional food.
Brilliant food and service. The bread roll is freshly warm. We ordered lamb chops and fish, both were amazingly cooked. The whole decor and atmosphere is casual and neighbourly, making us feel we are part of the community and just having another relaxing day.
I arrived just after opening on a Sunday. The restaurant is nice, pleasant surroundings and attentive staff. I only had a chicken salad, amended from the original menu to remove the chips and potatoes, which they did without question. The chicken was seasoned and cooked well. Although the menu is brief, I have no doubt that all the food is delicious. Well worth a visit if you find yourself in Alcala :)
Best food in a week's stay in Alcala. A large fillet steak, perfectly cooked with a fantastically good roquefort sauce. The lamb chops were beautiful and soft, the avocado and prawn starter had large proper prawns with texture in 1/2 avocado x 2. A good selecting of drinks and when the bill came we thought they'd missed some stuff. Too cheap for the great quality products we were served.
Delicious food, my duck in oranges was heaven. Very friendly staff, even the chef himself met us to hear the feedback on the food. Will defo come back.

Amazing find!! HIGHLY recommend!! We were staying at Ritz Carlton and wanted something outside the resort and more local. We were so glad to have come here!!! Greeted by owner upon arrival. Our table was beautifully set up overlooking the sunset. Service was attentive and so fast! Warm bread with provence butter to start, duck and beef tartar were out entrees and finished with raspberry tarte and chocolate filled cake for dessert. Everything was so fresh and cooked to pure French perfection. With the twinkle lights, music playing and sunset, it was a lovely setting. Please support this local gem!!!

Food is pretty average, carpatio was quite plain for taste, goulash was ok-ish, salmon salad was salmon and couple of leafs. The biggest surprise was the bill, besides the standart practise for charging for the bread and butter we didn't order(I guess everyone is uses to that already), they've added 2 EUR for empty plate!!! which we've asked them to bring so we can share the goulash with the kid, who said she didn't want any food.
Stayed at the Ritz and wanted a meal with local flair for my vegetarian girlfriend and I. The food and service were exceptional!
Lovely relaxed vibe with an amazing view! They were so nice to us and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back!
Normally good but on this occasion somewhat disappointing. Mussels starter were over cooked and rubbery. Duck main course cold. Solo music wasn’t great either. Despite that we’ll be back as it’s usually quite good.
Very good food and great life music. Everybody dacing and it is getting in contact with each other.
In the winter it is very busy and now in the summer with less guests we enjoyed it very much!
Really nice service and super tasty fusion food. The host speaks perfect English and German, is very friendly and pleasant to speak to. The place has a parking lot and a terrace with a view on the ocean, La Gomerra island and beautiful sunset.
Excellent food, and service. We had 3 courses it was fantastic, would definitely recommend this place

Melvin by Martin Berasategui is a culinary gem located at Las Terrazas de Abama Suites in Tenerife. The restaurant is backed by the renowned Spanish chef with 12 Michelin stars to his name, and it showcases a fusion of traditional flavors with distinctive local ingredients. Head Chef Sergio Fuentes expresses the generosity of the island through their dishes, offering something new to even the most discerning palates.
Excellent and unforgettable experience. A cozy restaurant with the best view you could ask for. We ordered the 7-course set menu and enjoyed every single bite of it. My personal favorite was the aged steak tartar which was out of this world but the rest of the dishes were by far better than anything that we tried on the island so far. Lovely service from people that know what they're talking about. Special thanks to Tina who made us feel at home. See you very soon.

Our first experience at restaurant Melvin by Martin Berasategui was top notch! High level, nice and friendly staff. The lady named Mariam, did a great job and the food was prepared by Chef Sergio! 100% recommended!
A flawless evening from start to finish. Every dish was a masterpiece of flavor and presentation, showcasing the chef’s creativity and precision. The wine pairings were inspired, the service impeccable. Very attentive without being intrusive. Truly deserving of its high reputation and worth a special journey.
With no availability in any of the Ritz Carlton restaurants… the hotel send us to “Melvin”.
It is a short 3 min journey up the hill behind the hotel.
The food was Fantastic.. local fresh produce backed up with recommendations from our waiter Manuel.
The Chef’s Presentation of food was tremendous.. “eat with your eyes” backed up with big flavours. Price matches the quality of food.
Miriam received us with a big smile… made it for me.
Ricardo served us and was immaculate with his waiting service.
As a vegetarian I was very well looked after .
The beetroot and mushroom croquettes were exquisite as a starter. I had the risotto…full of taste and texture. I will certainly return here to experience the other dishes and enjoy the excellent service once more!
These chefs know how to prepare a good piece of meat! The cowboy steak is super delicious. Our waitress Talida is very friendly, very professional and she knows her wine. Ricardo and Jordy are not to be forgotten in this review because they are truly wonderful. If you want to eat good food and have a good experience, visit Melvin for sure! A nice setting with the best view.
visited this restaurant — and are still impressed! We ordered the tasting menu, and each dish was a small work of art: from presentation to taste — everything was thought out to the smallest detail. An amazing combination of textures, aromas and fresh ingredients — you can really feel that the chef cooks with soul and real inspiration.
The service is top notch: unobtrusive, polite, with a sincere smile. The waiter was very attentive, explained everything, gave recommendations, and hit the mark every time.
The atmosphere in the hall is cozy, stylish and relaxing. This is the place where you want to return not only for the food, but also for the feeling of coziness and care.
💫 The impressions were the warmest, and the tastes are unforgettable.
I boldly recommend it to anyone who is looking for not just dinner, but a real gastronomic journey.
A huge thank you to the entire restaurant team — you are doing an amazing job! 🙌

We stopped in for a light dinner. The waiter was busy because she was serving alone. She didn't speak much English, but she tried to help. The empanadas were good, the fish soup was full of potatoes, so it was more potato soup than fish soup, but it was good.
My husband and I were passing through this town, and we came here completely by accident, just because there was live music playing (a nice musician plays here on Sundays) and we really wanted to eat, but how surprised we were at how delicious everything was here and how nice the waiter was. After that we visited different restaurants also at random and we didn't like any in this part of the island as much as this one. The price/quality ratio is amazing. In comparison, the food here is even quite cheap. Usually our dinner for 2 would cost ~€30-40, here it is under 20€, and the portions are really good. The food was really delicious, although the dishes are quite simple. I would like to say thanks to the waiter Eduardo, a very nice man, even remembered the languages that my husband and I speak (my husband and I are from different countries), we ended up going back twice more specifically to this restaurant, although it was completely out of our way. If we will have any more holidays in Tenerife we will definitely come back here again. We wish your restaurant success and prosperity!)
The food was amazing and it didn’t cost much. The food tasted really good, especially for the price. If you don’t have much time to eat, I wouldn’t really recommend this restaurant, because you have to wait a little longer than usual; but it’s really worth the wait. The service was good. I’d recommend the empanadas and the seafood pasta, because me and my family enjoyed it!
Argentine burger at a good price, the waiter speaks good English. Unfortunately, I paid by card and didn't have cash for a tip. I RECOMMEND! :)
Very bad. Waiter does not know menu, was very rude. We ordered set for 2 persons with pescado and so on. Thanks God we saw how it should looks like on the picture.
Our set was without pawns and big fish. We had to argue with the waiter that our set is not full. Finally we got only prawns in addition.
He even didn’t open the bottle of beer for us. We had to looking for a waiter to ask.
Not recommend that place.
Delicious food, nice view and very amiable stuff!
Great tapas, acceptable prices, friendly host but limited wine selection (mainly good but lowprice wines). We will go back next time in Tenerife.

Brisa Marina Taberna Marinera is a highly recommended restaurant near the ocean in Playa San Juan. The food is delectable, with a wide variety of tasty options available. The standout dish is the mussels, which are truly amazing. Prices at this establishment are affordable, making it an excellent choice for those on a budget. The staff members are friendly and accommodating, ensuring that customers have an enjoyable dining experience.
We lucked into a table for two on a very busy night. The staff were definitely working hard, very busy, but the service was still good. We had tapas, which were all great. Four between the two of us was just enough to leave room for the delicious homemade desserts. The fig mousse was especially nice! It was all very reasonably priced too.

A nice restaurant near the ocean! Really nice food for a good price. Staff are friendly. We only had seafood which I really enjoyed and can recommend!
The deserts are fabulous too. Will come back soon!
Just had an amazing evening here; fab fish, excellent friendly service and great buzzy atmosphere! Felt we’d had a really good night out. We will be back!
Not impresive,should be better. I took scampi which were without any taste and I was sick after. I will not eat scampi for weeks now after that experience.
Salad my friends took was also without any preparation,sauce,anything. They just gave us plate with sauces in plastik cubes and among them some was....used by other clients,do not especially nice. Additinally instead of canarian patatoes x2 they gave us doubled fries. But because we didn't see each other for a long time we tried to have nice evening. But the meal wasn't good at all in comparison of the restaurant with always fresh fish they preparing after you choose them,just round the corner. We know and adoreit ,but as usuall there were no free tables that evening. Broda Marina wasn't a good idea. They deserve maybe 3.....
Its a good fish place. Does not look like much but the fish was delicious. Area is nice.

My friends and I were pleasantly surprised by the exceptional quality of the food, which was worth every Euro spent. The friendly staff made us feel right at home, even going the extra mile to keep pesky flies at bay with a burning coil. During our first dinner in Alcala, we enjoyed quick service with delicious starters that included complimentary olives and warm bread.
Really good service and food. Visited a number of times while staying in the neighbourhood for 2weeks. Recommend for fish lovers, my dad was very happy.

It was our first dinner out in the lovely town of Alcala and my mom said we could dine here every day :)
The starters came very quickly and were delicious, we even got olives and warm bread on the house, the paella for 2 was more than plenty and very filling and tasty, as was the sangria. The waiter was friendly and welcoming, made jokes with the guests, all in one a great evening, thinking of going again today :)
This place has stolen my heart! Best experience in Tenerife Alcala! Service - best of the best, kitchen - try to find better one, location - wow! Don’t miss the opportunity to visit this restaurant, trust me
I stopped by for take away but they don't offer take away. Still I decided to sit down because i craved sea food. And I did not regret it, because it was the best grilled Squid i had in many years! For me it was the perfect spot for fast and delicious lunch. Mucho gracias!
This lovely little café/restaurant by the sea was mine and my friend’s introduction to the local cuisine in Tenerife...
...And let me tell you the food was absolutely amazing and worth every Euro. The quality was completely unexpected and the beer went down smoothly (€3 for a pint!).
The staff were really friendly and welcoming. So much so in-fact that even when the pesky flies annoyed us, they put out a burning coil to fend them off. An accommodation that they really needn’t have put in; but the fact they did made this place that much more classy and worthy of respect.
Last but not least, I would say their paella was the best one we had on our trip. And that's very impressive given the places we went to eat.
5/5 I recommend highly if you're in the area.
¡Gracias!
Fab meals!
Very nice stuff😉❤️
I highly recconend!
Everything fresh,prepared on the spot, while you wait. Mussels or paella are served in a hot pot straight to the table. Nice family atmosphere. I even took a ride with the owner's son to a nearby ATM when the terminal stopped working, such an unexpected surprise, instead of dessert, lol!
Really worth to come there.
I will be back one day😉❤️
It's a small , local fish tapas , with very friendly staff. The food was delicious, and the octopus was so tender, delicious. Fresh and locally sourced, what else do you need??:-)
First time we tried here, it was near closing and we were told that they'd prepare us something to eat. It was a little disappointing given the price is a bit higher than most, but we thought that they were probably rushing to close.
We tried it again, and although one meal was bigger than expected, the other was very disappointing and only tasted of oil

We took two pizzas and wine. The service was quite slow, as there was only one server per the whole terrace full of people, we waited approximately an hour starting from when we arrived to the point when we got our food. The pizzas were tasty with good quality ingredients. The dough was a bit too thin and salty, which I didn't mind that much. It was also well-priced. Generous portion of whine. Nice views from the terrace on the ocean and the sunset. I would recommend it for a casual dinner if you fancy pizza and don't mind waiting a bit.
OMG 😆 unbelievable great Pizzeria! 🥰
We had amazing croquettes with tuna for appetizer plus bruschetta. My wife did have pizza verdura and I checked in on Calzone! So amazing, the dough and toppings as well as the cheese - a real blast!
Staffing is great very friendly and up to speed plus very kind.
Italy 🇮🇹 pull your belt tight! Best pizza is coming from Teneriffa in 2021! 🎉👏👍
Absolutely fantastic
The best Italian we have eaten in 28 years of living in Tenerife
The service was fantastic & the restaurant was air conditioned perfectly.
We will be back
Thank you 💪🏻
We stopped late and there were no tables left outside so we were told we could order and wait inside until a table was available. Which they did offer us but the downstairs restaurant was large clean and comfortable so we stayed inside. Food was excellent. If I had any criticism it would be there was no drinks menu but that’s the only fault I could find.
Would recommend
We went as a big group of around 30 people.The food was outstanding. Pizzas were tasty and quite authentic in taste . The spaghetti with clams outstanding. The service and hospitality of the owners was amazing . Defo one to go back again to.
Nice interior but understaffed restaurant. We waited 45 minutes for a poor looking Cesar salad and two toasts with aubergine and cheese…
Visit and have some food in this lovely restaurant in Playa San Juan! The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is great! Pizzas was our choice for this time! We had a Calzone and Parmigiana but there is a good choice for any client in pastas and salads! Absolutely lovely ladys working here for years attending people as the restaurant is open for long years here! The inside reform some years ago is great, everything is very good and clean maintained! They have a "secret dinner room" and the details are made with a good touch.

The service is fast, attentive and very friendly. It is lovely. And the food, the food is a highlight. Try anything you want but you must also try the paella!! :) and a good wine!
Almost forgot to mention the famous Tenerife coffee :)
Authentic local restaurant with a small town charm to it. We had a selection of small plates which were all delicious, the Canarian Potatoes and their sauces were phenomenal. Our host was very attentive and accommodating x
This is a lovely restaurant with attentive service, good quality food and competitive prices. We were glad that we had ordered the paella in advance as it was really good.
Fantastic restaurant! Found it by chance and so pleased we went. Incredible local food & really well priced. If you want a great meal, that's great value -definitely worth a try!
Very nice and cozy place, close to everything around in Playa de San Juan. The owners are always friendly, fast service and always a good word to share. Prices are more than fair and you have to try the paella (mixta) - amazingly tasty - and the local wine :D.

Great local cafe/restaurant! Recommend for couples and familes! Good prices for the meals! Good pepper steaks!

I am a frequent customer at Dieta Mediterránea, an establishment known for its outstanding service, picturesque scenery, and delectable ice cream. It is not only an ideal spot for a delightful dinner but also offers a mesmerizing view. To ensure you secure a table, it is advisable to make reservations as they tend to be quite busy during the evenings. Additionally, their garlic prawns are absolutely unmatched in terms of taste and flavor; you won't find anything better elsewhere.
Great Italian pizzas.Ice creams too
A K — Google review
Me and my friend tried first time this restaurant, since our usual restaurant was closed. Order octopus which was fine and really fancied nice good salad for 2 so ordered large salad for 9.99€ when the lady brought salad- I had to ask if there is no mistake, it was so small, regret not taking pictures. There was not even half tomato, fin slice, 2 slice fin again red pepper, few green leafs, little onion and carrot - carrot was so little more like1/4 unbelievable. I am vegetarian so I have salad with everything every day so to pay 10€ for that was a shock. For me that was first and last time.
I'm a regular client there. Good service, lovely view, great ice-cream
I also like this place for a dinner. Better to reserve a table as they get busy in the evenings
Very friendly service but food can be optimized: olive oil in little fast food bags, potatoes without taste and Pizza with low quality cheese. But local fish which you can see before preparation
We had a mixed experience here. The starter of a tapa of octopus salpicon and a main of vegetarian canneloni were both fine, but the "large " salad costing €9.95 consisted of 8 leaves of lettuce , 3 of the finest slices of tomato I have ever seen, 2 slices of red pepper, 4 ribbons of carrot and some chopped onion. We were so sure we'd been served a small salad by mistake, we queried it with the blond lady who served it, to be told that yes it was the large one. I complained about it asking how they justified the price and all I was told was that no one else had complained about it before. Am I being unfair to say it is a restaurant to which I will never return?
We got to this place by chance for the ice-cream and we ended up eating tapas DE pescado. The food was super delicious, tasty, well cooked and made with the unmistakable Italian taste. I highly recommend this place
Every time we visit San Juan we go there for lunch, the pizzas are wonderful but so is everything we have tried. I can certainly recommend this place for good food and lovely staff.
Absolutely awful. Avoid at all costs. Over cooked pasta, bland and greasy pizza and a pasta dish served to a vegetarian in the party with ham in that they claimed to be tomato. All food was terrible and service to match.

Cafe Pizzeria El Paseo is a delightful gem that stands out for its vibrant atmosphere and mouthwatering dishes. After experiencing overpriced drinks and bland meals elsewhere, visitors find solace in the generous portions and flavorful offerings at this charming eatery. The pizzas are particularly praised for their quality, while the friendly service adds to the welcoming vibe. On special occasions like Christmas Day, when many places are closed, El Paseo remains open to serve delicious meals.
Because of Xmas day not a lot was open, luckily El Paseo was! When we arrived the chef came out to talk to us. He was so friendly and funny! He insisted we took the Pasta Frutti di Mare and Wow!! what a perfect pasta!! It tasted incredible and so fresh! Graci mile!! We left with a full belly and a smile!

We decided to go here on our first night as was getting late. Good to see lots of locals eating here which is always a good sign to me. The pizza base was tasty and there was a good selection of toppings. We had a slight issue when the waiter didn’t understand what we had ordered but was quickly resolved and a correct pizza arrived promptly. Not a lot of atmosphere but you can’t expect that for a restaurant on the road. All went downhill the following evening when my daughter decided to go back and was told by the same waiter that the restaurant was closed, however they then took two more customers in for food. The following evening the elderly waiter, saw us eating at another restaurant and started making chicken noises at us. In an attempt at mocking us as he gave us ham rather than chicken.
We decided to visit Café Pizzeria El Paseo spontaneously in the evening, but unfortunately, the experience was rather disappointing. The atmosphere seemed inviting at first glance, but that was about the only highlight of our visit.
The biggest issue was communication. Since I don’t speak perfect Spanish, there were significant difficulties placing my order. The staff didn’t seem very flexible or willing to bridge the language gap, and as a result, I didn’t even receive a main course.
Overall, while the location has potential, the service and lack of accommodation for non-Spanish speakers left a lot to be desired. It’s not a place I’d be eager to return to.
Avoid this place at all cost microwaved food and also overpriced the microwaves just sit on the countertops and can clearly see your food get put into them lasagna was ice cold in the middle use restaurant nino authentic and really nice 👍🏻
Very good food, the service was amazing 👏 I would highly recommend this place to everyone.
We are vegetarian, and we struggled to find places to eat, but this place stood out by far. Their pizza and paella 🥘 were top quality.
This should be the highest rated place in the area for me by far!
Got a Barraquito Coffee there with my family, haven't tried any food. The coffee was great and the waiter checked in on us after a couple minutes.
Staying at the Melia & after 4 days of overpriced borrower sized drinks & a random selection of incoherent bland dishes at every meal it was a delight to come here for a full sized drink & a meal with taste! Pizzas were lovely, drinks were full sized, service was good & prices were very reasonable. Surprised at some of these reviews tbh, or maybe we’re just easily pleased 🤣
Delicious food, kind waiters and great atmosphere, I definitely recommend this place.

What can I say... I've been here for the 2nd time and the food exceeded my expectations. I mean just check the pictures! We were greeted warmly and the crew was super lovely. There was some life music that night and despite my worries , it was a great ambience. Will definitely come back again.
I had the worst experience yesterday after visiting for the first and last time this restaurant! Starting from the old bread to the worst tastes of Tuna ever. And after asking many times to change the plate and after many tries comes the same ( Tuna ) but changing just the presentation of the plate thinking we are stupid! The waitress is lovely and tried to help us and to make us satisfied but she couldn’t after the kitchen stuff made the experience even worse.. thankfully the waitress didn’t let us pay all the plates that we didn’t eat and she was more than sorry ( at the end its not her problem ) its the kitchen’s… i don’t recommend it to anyone
I think we might have gone on an off day. Our pasta came out looking nothing like the photos on Google. I have never seen carbonara scrambled egg pasta served. Truly the worst pasta we have ever had! Although the staff was kind, we left sad and hungry.
Absolutely enjoyed that lunch on the terrace.
Fantastic food, great service and hospital staff!
You can’t miss it if you travel around
Terrible food, shocking service, and an aggressive manager who clearly doesn’t care about customers.
This was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve ever had. The clams were gritty, sandy, and completely inedible — a clear sign they weren’t cleaned properly. The mussels came in a big pot but there were only 8, and they were nothing special. We hoped the mains would be better, but it turned into a disaster: over 45 minutes of waiting, dishes arriving 5 minutes apart, fries for the steak only after asking 3 times, and a paella so salty it was impossible to eat.
When we raised this with the manager, she was shockingly aggressive and dismissive — even though we stayed calm and gave constructive feedback. Her response? “If you don’t like it, don’t come back.” Staff around her looked embarrassed and even apologized for her behavior.
For a family of 10, including kids, this was unacceptable. No gesture on the bill, no accountability, just arrogance. Absolutely atrocious service, mediocre food, and a manager who clearly doesn’t care about customers. Avoid at all costs — there are far better places to spend your money and time.
great italian spot right on the beach boardwalk. the truffle tagliatelle was delightful and the vibes were excellent with great views.
Four of us enjoyed the most wonderful gastronomic experience this evening. Playa San Juan has been waiting for a restaurant like this. The attention to detail was second to none and every plate was superb, both in flavor and presentation. We will be back, regularly!

Nestled in a charming side street, Restaurante Chamaida is a hidden gem that captures the essence of local dining. This family-run establishment, operated by three generations of women, exudes warmth and passion for traditional cooking. While it leans towards the pricier side, diners are treated to an exceptional culinary experience featuring fresh fish selected from a counter and expertly prepared. The standout dish is undoubtedly the Cambrilla fish, fried to perfection with crispy skin and tender meat that melts in your mouth.
Best fish (Cambrilla) I’ve ever enjoyed. Fried to a perfect crispiness with the meat still soft and skin properly seasoned. Padrón peppers and quesillo for dessert were better than other places I’ve tried them. Of two weeks in the Canaries, this was the best meal.
Daniel A — Google review
I am a bit disappointed! The food was good (except the shrimps) but the problem was although we reserved a table for 8 people at 8 pm (so not too late) we didn’t have so many choices of fresh fish and seafood. There was only one calamari left and few other things. The waitress was not very nice, didn’t help. If you take a reservation you should have enough fish for the people!
Very good fish restaurant with a good selection of fish and other seafood.
I have read a lot of reviews , most of them were very positive, and a few: negative, but I decided to visit the place myself and make my own mind. It is a restaurant for locals. It is on the pricey side. Food was very good and the fish I have chosen from the fresh counter was weighted before frying but I got the price beforehand, and I accepted it. It is run by the one , whole family and they cook with passion and the old, good way. You ll pay for quality, if you are prepared : you ll not regret. Dinner for two with two bottles of beer: 45 euros 💶
They went too far with prices. 62eur for a fish for 2. The food and service was good otherwise.
A nice local restaurant. Lovely food, generous portions and very good value. The fish and seafood looked great. It is in a side street so easy to miss.
Very good restaurant. Nice interior, simple, three generations of women running the place. Octopus tender and well prepared, with tomato, onions and avocado. Mojos very good. Good variety of fish good choice of affordable wines. Mix of tourists and locals.
The food is OK but beware of overcharging when ordering fish. Ask for its price beforehand. It's not nice of the proprietress to ask at which resort we were staying.

I visited The Flintstones Tenerife Sports-Cafe & Restaurant after reading a positive review and was impressed by their delicious burgers and homemade chips. The atmosphere was lively, with friendly waiters/waitresses and the opportunity to socialize with other customers. The place also offered a variety of sports on TV for entertainment. It's worth supporting this establishment during these challenging times. Additionally, the pub maintained cleanliness standards, as noted by the clean toilets.
Quite simply, I went here because I saw a good review on here. Their burgers are simply the best burger pate I have eaten. The chips are decent home made and far from the “triple fried” attempts to make chips attractive. This place is also good for chatting to other customers and seems a bit of a social pop in hub. Waiters and Waitress very attentive. Worth supporting in these tricky times.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat. The Fred burger was amazing. Homemade burger. The wife commented on how nice and clean the toilets were. A propertly run quality pub.
Super tasty burgers! Here you will get a real burger with normal meat! Also fish and chips were great. Staff is friendly and very nice. Highly recommended.
Absolutely fantastic place... the staff are great and will go out of their way to accommodate any needs. The food is the best homemade food on the island... would definitely recommend to anyone going to the island. Best burgers in the world!
Lovely friendly place. Real family feeling. Great staff. Home made food perfect. Would recommend their Fred burgers.
We had an amazing time there, all of the people was like a family and all of you was very welcome to us.
So the beers was cheap and cold 🍺 burger was very good🍔 and people was amazing 👌🏼

If you're on the lookout for a dining experience that combines quality with a relaxed atmosphere, B on the Rocks is your go-to spot. This gem offers an impressive menu that caters to both vegans and meat lovers alike, taking diners on a delightful culinary adventure filled with expertly balanced flavors. The presentation of each dish rivals that of Master Chefs, making every meal not just tasty but visually stunning as well.
My wife and I are spending our anniversary on Tennerife and we came across B on the rocks. Food and service were fantastic. The Iberico Pork hit the spot while my wife wanted a modification to the spinach risotto and the restaurant was overly accommodating. We will definitely he eating there again.

We had a really delicious dinner! 🍽️ The lava cake was amazing – warm, soft, and perfectly paired with ice cream. The tiramisu was light and flavorful, and the shrimp salad was fresh and very tasty. Friendly service and a cozy, stylish atmosphere. Highly recommended!
Compliments to the chef with the incredible food, bartender Clodagh with her amazing homemade sangria, and good vibes server Danny. Just incredible and amazing people. This establishment is the best!
We ended up coming twice on our honeymoon. Much love to them!
Try the risotto, ribeye and most definitely the lava cake 🤌🏾🤌🏾
Guys, this place is a hidden gem. Incredible fillet mignon with the best pepper sauce. Great lamb and burger with fois gras. Great mojito and hugo on top of that and we have the receipt for a great night. PS great music!!!
The food and wine were great, service was exceptional and friendly. It's a beautiful venue with room to sit outside and people watch. I had the Salmon steak with rice and it was flavoursome.

There were 8 of us, and we all agreed:
Five stars!
B on the Rocks in Alcalá, Tenerife, truly exceeded our expectations. We were a group of eight, and every single one of us agreed this was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had – a solid five stars.
The service was outstanding – warm, professional, and attentive. Every dish was perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The ingredients were fresh, and the attention to detail was 100%. The drinks were also top-notch, and the overall atmosphere was both stylish and relaxed.
It was clear that the team behind this place takes great pride in every aspect – from the food to the service to the ambiance. This is a place we have visited now 2 times and would all gladly return to.
Absolutely worth it – highly recommended!
Incredible meal. Beautiful restaurant with an amazing atmosphere and the food was delicious. Everyone who works there is excellent!!
I visited B on the Rock yesterday and it was absolutely amazing! From the warm welcome to the attentive service, and the friendliness of the staff, everything was perfect. The dishes were delicious, and as a nice bonus, the selection of French white wines was excellent, which made the experience even richer. I highly recommend this restaurant without hesitation! Make sure to book in advance.

Chintumá Taqueria, a Mexican restaurant, offers delicious cuisine and boasts a welcoming and laid-back atmosphere, even when filled with patrons. The establishment provides unique beverages served in stylish glasses. Additionally, if you have dietary restrictions such as being vegan, the staff is accommodating and able to make adjustments to cater to your needs. The food is authentic and reminiscent of home-cooked meals from Mexico itself. With exceptional flavor and presentation, their dishes are comparable to none.
A lunchtime visit sitting outside in the sun. The host was the most wonderful man with good English who also found our attempt at Spanish quite amusing. A wonderfully decorated restaurant with lovely little touches of Mexico everywhere. Even the rest rooms are fancy. The food was very well presented and so tasty. The restaurant is only a short distance from the sea front but worth the little walk.

great burritos, a nice place to enjoy an evening. the restaurant is near a huge playground, we enjoyed watching the children play, but if you don’t- bear this in mind
Don’t let the appearance fool you. Seriously good food . Really quick service The nachos were delicious as was all the other dishes .
Amazing place, fair price and delicious food. Carlos has been amazing.. very funny and excellent at his job, even being alone he manage to deliver a very good service to at least 8 tables and for a former waiter/manager I know how hard it is. If you are in South Tenerife you should check this place. 10/10... try the Tacos Secreto Iberico.
Excellent Mexican food, very tasty and full of flavour. Ate there for two evening in a row. The only think that I would suggest is having regular tortilla choice for tacos too. It might be a personal preference, but the hard shells are not my favourite in general, although you could taste they are homemade.
Neverthless, the tacos were excellent too as they were and the place is probably the best mexican restaurant on the island. Warmest recommendations!
The food was amazing! Waiter was really friendly and also super kind! He came to me and took me to a restaurant where he took many great photos of me, because the restaurant looks really cool from the inside and has a great vibe . 10/10! I definitely recommend.
Our first time but not our last! Fantastic, homemade, very tasty Mexican food at its best! Carlos was superb as a host with great recommendations. A star!
Listen to me! Do not miss the cheese and beans arepa!!!
Everything we ordered was delicious 😋 (nachos, tacos, burrito, quesedia...)
Super recommended!!!

This is simply a great local restaurant. Describing the atmosphere is not easy, but it felt peaceful, pleasant, and rural. The waiters were very kind and attentive. They brought us a tasty garlic bread with amazing sauces and pesto as a starter while we were waiting for the main course, which was also delicious. The restaurant is definitely worth visiting.
Best local food we had in San Juan, great service and nice location
We were passing by this place and as it seemed packed with locals we decided to stop by for a small bite. We ordered cheese in pastry which was tasty and paella which wasn't great. The atmosphere was ok and staff attentive and friendly.
Relaxed restaurant with great food. I had the combination plate with pollo. It came with bread, salad, traditional Canarian papas arrugadas, and a lovely lightly breaded chicken breast (rather like Milanesa.) I also had a cocktail. It was all delicious and the service was friendly and efficient.
This is just the sort of canarian restraunt you hope to find.
It's not touristy but has a nice mix of locals and tourists
It's great value and the food is just awesome!
Sitting outside with great local food.....just delicious!
Went for a light lunch and it was lovely.
Good value for money and the staff were very friendly.

If you're on the hunt for a delightful dining experience in Tenerife, look no further than Restaurante La Gaviota del Atlántico. This charming family-owned establishment comes highly recommended for its incredible seafood and authentic Italian dishes at reasonable prices. The friendly staff, hailing from Sicily, ensures that every visit is met with warm hospitality and exceptional service. Guests rave about the variety of dishes offered, from perfectly grilled seafood to mouthwatering pasta frutti di mare and traditional paella.
We got the recommendation by Kristina, the owner of our apartment if we would like mariscos (seafood) for an reasonable price, we should go to La Gaviota, it is mucho mucho good.
What should we say, a small family owned Italian restaurant. The staff is very friendly and also competent, the food was really great, so it endet up we came 3 times for dinner, and every time, it was really great. First time grilled seafood, second time carpaccio and pasta frutti di mare, third time paella. Really nothing to complain, everything fine! Gracie mille!

Very nice service.
Definitely not a place for eating pasta.
Carbonara/scrambled eggs, penne with salmon and Gnocchi four cheeses totally tasteless with absolutely zero presentation.
Next time definitely pizza.
Italian food done properly.
We visited twice and both times had great service and authentic Italian food.
Home made pasta and lasagne were great... pizza and calzone were spot on.
Friendly staff (originally from Sicily) and good prices.
Recommend this one if you're looking for Italian near playa La Arena
Amazing food, tasty and fresh fish. Great customer service 👏 👌. Thank you guys.
A very Italian restaurant in tenerife.
We had some amazing Sicilian food here and we enjoyed everything from the pizza to the pasta that was perfect aldente.

I had a beautiful duck salad followed by a strawberry and banana tart for desert when eating here. The hostess and host were really friendly and made our evening wonderful. I would highly recommend eating here.

Incredible dinner and fantastic service. We are staying at a resort in town and walked over for dinner. We sat on the patio and had charcuterie and wine to start, then enjoyed peppers, croquettes, eggs and prawns. The service was perfect and we had a relaxing Spanish tapas meal while we watched the town square get set up for a community dinner. We walked back to the resort along the water while we watched the sun set. This was our favorite experience and best meal of our trip.
Nice traditional Spanish feel. Mostly Spanish speaking customers. Amusing cave to rear of property. Good prices.Good tapas.
The owner asked how is everything and once we wanted to say something he just left and ignored us. By the way we are locals and speak perfect Spanish.
The food is not fresh prepared. Can food and frozen.
Beer is good and the young man who serves is doing his job very good. The owner simply failed.

The food choice was small. The taste of food could be better. Our 'cerdo fiesta' was too marinated, couldn't finish half of it. The chips were good and tasty. The chicken and tuna croquetas were ok. The service wasn't on top, we hardly could see any smile from the staff members. We are very simple family, not fassy at all, but we will not go there again. Can not absolutely say that we had a bad experience, but wouldn't recommend it to my friends.
Lovely people serving up some lovely authentic tapas in a casual dining environment. Very good price.

My preferred dining establishment in Tenerife is Restaurante Bodegón Irache Gara, a charming family-run spot hidden away from the main towns. It exudes an incredible atmosphere and provides exceptional service with a genuinely Spanish/Canarian feel. The cuisine is excellent, accompanied by delightful local wine. The bread served is freshly baked and arrives hot at your table. The portions are generous - even a single salad feels like a feast!
Great place, friendly owners, tasty food, natural ingredients, lovely desserts. Fully recomendable.

This seems very much like they bought most of their reviews. The reviews say it's a very popular place and that it's a good idea to book. So we did just that. But we were the only people there during the entire meal even though we were there during the Easter holiday. It was cold and there was no atmosphere.
The meat was fine and cooked properly though the fat didn't taste properly and it seemed like an odd cut for the T-bone steak. Everything else was disappointing. The fries were tasteless and not crispy. And they served half a tasteless tomatoe and some garlic rice with the meat.
This was also a restaurant who serves you bread you didn't order and made you pay for it.
Treat for meat lovers. Steak, lamb chops and pork chop were all delicious. Homemade chips were lovely. Typical canarian restaurant, very cosy inside and helpful staff. The house wine was great, 1/2 litre of white for €4.90 can't be moaned at! We will definitely return.
Need to take a trip to find. But so worth it. Ample car park. Food excellent ordered selection. Drinks excellent. Service all with a smile even with language barrier. Will return.
Our favourite restaurant in Tenerife. Family run with an amazing vibe away from the main towns and tucked away. Fantastic service, super friendly. Seemed authenticly Spanish/Canarian.
Food was great with some lovely local wine. Bread was freshly baked and hot when it arrived at the table.
Large portions - salad for one is like a table salad!
Desserts made in house, had the flan which was incredible.
Prices were very reasonable.
I don’t take pictures of food but I did on this one. Excellent meal for 10€ or so.
Beautiful view of the sea as well.
I had a fantastic experience at this rustic gem. The great service and local charm make it a favorite among locals. The veal chop was not only huge but of excellent quality, and the rabbit dish stood out as well. The Padron peppers, potatoes, chickpeas, and local wine all contributed to a delightful meal. The service was both fast and excellent, with ample parking space. Honest pricing adds to the appeal. I highly recommend everyone to explore this hidden gem
Excellent Canarian food, especially their meat and the service is very fast. They have quite a lot of parking space available.

Despite some slow service, the high quality of the food more than makes up for it.
Big surprise on last minute booking.
Food was amazingly delicious. Beautiful display. Chef has his own ideas about food. The squids noodles are soooo nice and it’s actually fake noodles, it’s made from squid completely. Very big portions. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!

We had the lamb shoulder and the local fish. Both were unbelievable. You know it's a quality restaurant when each of the veggies comes out perfectly cooked (my lamb came with asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, baby beetroot, a slice of pineapple, and a carrot puree). I left nothing on my plate.
It's not the typical local establishment. It's white tablecloths, large wine goblets, a decent wine list; just with a small number of covers.
They were very accommodating with my 4 year old and made a pasta just for her (which was also really good).
Hidden gem. Now to try it's sister restaurant in neighbouring San Juan.
Nicely set , very closed to the beach and promenade. We had a rice with lobster and it was delicious! I can certainly call this the best meal during my stay in Playa San Juan. Service was a bit slow but quality of food outweigh it by far !
Best place in town. Delicious food, good service, nice view from the terrace. Try goose liver tapas, unbelievable.
The staff was very friendly. The food was a mix of good and just OK.
We had tapas for lunch on a Saturday. It was busy and I was glad we had reserved a table. The waiters were friendly, the location was great but the food was overall disappointing. The presentation was nice. The dishes all had great potential, but the execution was off with 2 of our seafood dishes. The meat was nice.
Lovely food if a high standard, beautifully presented. I had tuna tartar, lovely fresh seasonal fish. Really tasty. Great position with view over the harbour. Nice friendly staff. Will definitely revisit.
An amazing little gem of a restaurant. Quite simply amazing pork and steaks. Lovely friendly staff. Quality food without a doubt.

Italian restaurant
Verona, an Italian restaurant located at Abama resort, impressed customers with its outstanding service, food quality, and ambiance. Patrons were so delighted with their experience that they even canceled other reservations to dine there again. The staff's friendliness and expertise added to the overall enjoyment of the meals sampled. Moreover, guests marveled at the stunning views of the Ritz resort while indulging in delectable dishes.
The view is amazing there when we dined there for dinner. The sky colours is majestic. I ordered the lobster spaghetti which is so yummy and full of flavour. We also ordered wagyu pasta which is equally delicious. I definitely recommend it!

Service was great and we had a lovely table overlooking the water feature, food was decent, however we thought there could have been more effort to have authentic Italian dishes on the menu (given it is meant to be an Italian restaurant) There was something like one margharita pizza on the menu, and only a couple of pasta dishes, which when came we did not find very good quality. What is even funnier is that there is an Indian themed night planned, in the Italian restaurant- rather than focussing on good Italian food! We did not return to this restaurant again during our stay
Amazing Italian food! A must if you’re in the area or staying at the Ritz. Highly recommend their pastas especially the prawn and langoustine one. Perfectly cooked. The seafood dishes were just divine! Service was impeccable! Highly recommended! Pedro was top notched!
Must try their Gnocchi and Papardelle! We had an amazing time in Verona. It was a wonderful ambience ✨️ Pasta was really good and very nice desserts as well. The service was great; Roxanna, our waitress was warm & welcoming while being professional and knowledgeable of the food. The entire team was attentive which was an absolute relief after visiting other outlet and interacting with other department in the resort. Thank you for saving our experience here ❤️🙏🥂
My favourite restaurant the staff as you would expect, are so helpful, so much choices
Lovely views on the resort of the Ritz. Top service . I had lamb Ragu pasta . Was not the best and tasted very meaty and bland. My wife had seafood pasta which was very tasty indeed. The starter of the aubergine lasagne was also great!
This is by far the best restaurant at the Ritz. We wish we would have tried it earlier in our stay but it was a nice way to end our trip. The portions are huge so keep that in mind - we saw a calzone come out that could feed two very hungry men without a problem. To start, we had the Rosemary focaccia and the stracciatella. Both were delicious and went well together. For our mains we had the spicy salmon and the Cacio y Pepe. The pasta was great but the salmon was one of the best salmon dishes I’ve had in the past few years. Lastly, the panna cotta and tiramisu knocked it out of the park. All the dishes we saw being served around us looked equally as good. The service was a bit hit or miss - we had to refill our own waters but the food definitely made up for that. Highly recommend Verona for a couple dinners during your stay at the Ritz or in the area!
Out of all restaurants we tried at Abama this one had the best service, quality of food and atmosphere. We ended up cancelling our other reservation for the next night to come here again. Would recommend and if we were to stay again we would book here the most. Everything we tried we enjoyed and couldn’t believe how lovely the staff were!

La Barrica is a charming and intimate eatery that is family-owned and specializes in authentic cuisine. The portions are generous, the prices affordable, and the flavors are truly delightful. This is not the place for those seeking high-end or fast food as their focus is on taking the necessary time to prepare delicious, freshly cooked dishes. It's regrettable that I could only dine here once during my visit, but I am already planning to return next year because it was an exceptional experience.
Absolutely amazing experience! Delicious local food, bursting of flavours and some complementary fruits from the chef's own garden. The father and son -owners of the La Barrica were very attentive and friendly, and helpful in suggesting the dishes choices.Highly recommend if you are in the area and would like to sample a Canarian restaurant off the bitten path.

Prices higher on bill to those on menu, maybe old card but waiter never mentioned it. Food quality good esp croquettes for starters, but main dish nothing special. Pork steak was good but too fat for me. Salad Barrica consist only of very few slices of tomato, cucumber and cheese with plenty of iceberg lettuce with no spices on it, costs 8 euro😮
With fries and drink Costs 40€, way too much!! Not recommend.
➕ Worth to come here to taste real Spanish cuisine in real Spanish restaurant
➕ Really nice and tasty food
➕ Short menu with traditional dishes
Every time we come on holiday we must stop here! Amazing food! Local produce prepared with care and great prices. Luckily it’s a real Spanish place with real Spanish people
Best pork on Tenerife. Huge (almost too huge) portions. Friendly and helpful staff (with basic English knowledge).
Highly recommended!
Absolutely lovely little restaurant , family run and most important serving traditional food. Really big portions small prices and unbelievable tasty food. Don't go if you expect something fancy or you are in a hurry it takes time to cook delicious , fresh food like that! If feel sorry I managed to go here only one time during my stay , but next year definitely will repeat!!
Great place to eat at decent prices. Food was delicios. We have papas arrugadas, queso asado and ensalada “la Barrica”, to share for 2 persons. Te lingi pe bot😀. And for drink, one of the best barraquito.
Absolutely perfect! Delicious food, and good atmosphere!!

Restaurante Tasca los 5 sentidos is a hidden gem that invites you into a charming marine-themed ambiance adorned with delightful decorations. The welcoming atmosphere is complemented by an incredibly friendly staff, making every visit feel special. The culinary offerings are nothing short of extraordinary, featuring unique flavors and perfectly portioned dishes that surprise the palate. One standout dish includes a cheese and jelly salad, where what appears to be jellyfish turns out to be a sweet and tangy treat—an unexpected delight!
The restaurant was very welcoming, entering a marine themed background with really cute decorations. The staff was very friendly. The food was TERIFFIC, as all of the flavors were unique, the portions were perfect ( not too big nor too small ) and on each dish there is something very special that you surely did not expect/ ever tasted. On the cheese and jelly salad we thought that is was jellyfish but it turned out to be a sweet and a bit sour kind of circle shaped jelly which was suprisingly good. This place is definitely highly recommended, and the opening hours are very convenient as we couldnt find any opened restaurant and
arrived at 2:45 and finished eating at 15: 40. We had a '' Cheese and jelly salad '', an '' octopus salad'', a '' mushroom risotto '', '' bread crackers and roquefort dip '', '' bread with butter and sausage dip '', '' smoked salmon tartar with avocado '', '' King Garlic prawns '', '' a vanilla ice cream and chocolate brownie'', and a '' baraquito '' which is a coffee with alcohool. We spent 81 euros for such a lovely christmas day meal ! ❄️

This is a fantastic place that offers an exquisite culinary experience that captivates the senses at very low prices. The diverse menu showcases a delightful blend of flavours, and the attention to detail in presentation reflects the female chef's commitment to excellence and craft. An incredibly attentive staff contribute to a memorable dining atmosphere, making it a must-visit for those seeking a truly enjoyable gastronomic adventure in Guía de Isora.
Amazing place and waiters act like your best friends who graduated Stanford in food science. It os all after 2 bottles of Verdejo for 3
A house in old city center with a large courtyard- terrace and new clean toilets; good for a break and eat something.
The menu is diverse, portions are large, but the meal is average, don't come with higher expectations.
The place is ok for visitors of the regional traditional cities.
We visited restaurant first time and had good food, service. Nice atmosphere and defenetly recommending ! Building about 200 years old and have history. We will be back <3
The food was great, as was the attitude of the staff. Can't say anything bad, fully deserved 5 stars. Thank you!
Amazing experience, great food and heartwarming service. Nested in a quiet secluded area it is truly a joy to eat here. Must do in Tenerife!
Wonderful early evening meal. Delicious meals and desserts, lovely ambience, and a warm welcome.

The Mirador de Chirche is a charming lookout situated in the historic village of Chirche, providing stunning vistas of both the village and the ocean. Accessible via Mount Teide Road, it offers convenient parking as an alternative to navigating through narrow village roads. This stone-built mirador is adorned with indigenous plants and offers various levels for exploration. Alongside its scenic beauty, the mirador also houses a restaurant and a small shop selling local delicacies and souvenirs.
We had lunch at the beautiful restaurant, which nestles in the hills, whilst on a downhill mountain bike tour of Teidi. The food was simple but extremely tasty and the staff were genuinely warming to us. It is off the beaten track but well worth stopping in you are out exploring the wonderful countryside around the business. We had a set lunch which was waiting fir us as we arrived but the menu looked fantastic. It was surprisingly busy which I thought was testament to the business. Regardless of where you sit, the views are fantastic. It was extremely clean, great value for money and there was even a small gift shop. Well worth a visit.

Having spent a great morning up at Teide we wanted some lunch. Popped into this restaurant for a snack and really enjoyed a lovely tasty meal and beautifully presented. A gem tucked around the corner of a mirador. Lots of parking and there was space to sit outside. A bonus. If you are in the area I highly recommend lunch.
Adorable place on the way to Teide. The restaurant has lots of local dishes for a reasonable price with great quality. We tried fried champions, salad with octopus and goat’s meat with Canarian potatoes and each and every dish was very delicious and perfectly cooked.
Such a beautiful place. The view is amazing and invites you to stay, get some coffee/cortado, came down and relaxing your soul. You have to stay at this place!
Lovely little mirador looking out over the historic village of Chirche and out to the ocean
There is parking available, easier to get to on the Mount Teide Road the village roads can be quite narrow and winding.
It's a stone built look out surrounded by native plants, it's over different heights so perfect for a wander. The mirador is a restaurant and little shop ... the food is good with canarian specials, the shop also sells canarian food items and a few souvenirs
You can sit out on a little terrace and enjoy the wonderful clean, fresh Tenerife air while enjoying papas arrugadas and a glass of something cold
Very nice little restaurant overlooking the village of Chirche on days with nice weather you can see all the way down to the ocean.
Food tasted very good and there was good size on them.
Parking is nearby, just the road up to the resturant can be quite tricky to find if you dont know the area to well.
Fine restaurant in great place. Perfect for lunch while you ale travelling across Teide National Park.
Amazing, really amazing view from the roof viewpoint.
The place is perfectly located at the beginning of the mountain highway toward El Teide. Didn’t expect a restaurant with a good view and serving very decent food at normal prices. Will definitely revisit.

Chicken restaurant
La Barrera Restaurante is a delightful barbecue eatery that is family-owned and operated. They serve mouthwatering barbecued chicken alongside fresh chips and salad, all at an incredibly affordable price. It's a lovely place to enjoy a no-nonsense local lunch, offering dishes like goat stew and oven-baked chicken. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for indulging in their great selection of typical cuisine.
Nice place for no b*****t local lunch. Goat stew, 1/2 oven baked chicken, simple wine of the casa, just like it.

Alí Babá Restaurante is a delightful gem that captures the essence of traditional Canarian cuisine. Nestled near a stunning 40-meter cave adorned with striking volcanic rock formations, this eatery offers an authentic dining experience that locals cherish. The menu features freshly prepared dishes, including the beloved rabbit in salmorejo sauce, especially recommended on Thursdays for those seeking to indulge in local flavors.
Typical Canarian restaurant catering primarily for local people providing freshly made good simple food which has always been well prepared and very tasty.
The menu of the day is always good value.
We will continue to visit when in the area.

amazing traditional canarian eatery. we went for a birthday dinner and were so well taken care of and the food was outstanding. i highly recommend going on a thursday and try the local national dish, rabbit in salmorejo sauce.
Might be the best food in planet earth.( + they serve extra cold beer)
Amazing food options and the people are so nice!
Quite weak in comparison to other typical spanish restaurants. Menu del dia is cheap but you barely get anything in the set. Simple dishes but not tasty prepared. (Very) slow service.
Very authentic Spanish restaurant with menu del dia and a la carte.
Had the dish of the day and ordered everything in Spanish!
Very friendly, great food and super value
Well recommend 👌
Good local, typically Canarian back street bar with amazingly cheap prices. A massive measure of Gordon's gin with a large can of Scweppes tonic for only 3.20€ (Under £3!)
