Best Restaurants in Tenerife

May 20, 2025

While Tenerife is perhaps most famous for its beaches, volcanoes, and year-round sunshine – we feel it ought to also be known as a paradise for food lovers. With influences from Spanish, African, and Latin American cuisines, the island serves up a unique blend of styles and flavours that are both bold and delicious. From hidden village taverns dishing out hearty, traditional fare to sleek seaside restaurants offering fresh seafood and world-class wines, there’s something here for every taste and budget. Whether you’re wandering through the cobbled streets of La Laguna or watching the sunset in Costa Adeje, you’ll find incredible food around every corner. In this blog, we’ve listed what we consider to be some of the best restaurants in Tenerife, highlighting local gems, fine dining favourites, and must-try dishes along the way. 

 

Restaurante El Guanche – Alte Schule 

First on our list of the best restaurants in Tenerife is Restaurante El Guanche, found in the charming village of Masca. This cosy vegetarian restaurant is bursting with character and offers both authentic Canarian cuisine and international flavours. It also caters to those seeking healthier choices, vegetarians or those with other dietary requirements. One of the highlights is the Cactus Mojito – refreshing, surprising, and uniquely local. The menu features fresh, locally sourced produce, with Canarian cheeses and Mediterranean-style tapas leading the way. With only ten tables available, it’s advisable to book in advance or arrive early to secure a spot. The attentive and friendly staff are always on hand to provide guidance and updates on wait times.

Sal Fina 

A true fan favourite, Sal Fina is an atmospheric escape in the heart of Los Cristianos. Decked out with twinkling lights, lush foliage, and shaded awnings, the ambiance alone makes it worth the visit. The menu is just as enticing, blending traditional Spanish dishes with global influences. Dishes like Canarian cheese with fig jam are served alongside tuna tataki and prawns in satay sauce, highlighting the restaurant’s culinary range. Located just off the bustling beachfront, it offers a peaceful yet central location. Due to its popularity and limited seating, booking is encouraged to ensure a table.

 Picamar Tapas Bistro

If it’s seafood and sea views you’re after, look no further than Picamar Tapas Bistro in the heart of Costa Adeje. It’s well known as one of the best places to eat in Tenerife, and after a visit here, it’s not hard to see why. The cocktails and food are not only delicious, but they’re also beautifully presented. The terrace overlooking the ocean is the perfect spot to wind down after a day of exploring, and the owners will make you feel right at home. However, the restaurant is small (there’s only 6 tables) so booking is advised.
