Where to Eat in Tenerife

Welcome to Day Trips Tenerife's where to eat page! This is the place where you can find the latest updates, tips, and insider information about the best retaurants in Tenerife.

My favourite resuarant in Tenerife is Bar Othello in the town of Adeje. Take a taxi and climb a steep hill to the restaurant where you will have the best Pollo con Ajo (Crispy Garlic Chicken) with advocado salad. The resturant opened in the 1970's and has been thriving ever since with a canarian family running the show since its open day. The views are fantastic

Los Christianos (El Cine is the best. We go their often)

Los Cristianos is a food lover’s paradise, with everything from traditional Canarian fare to modern Mediterranean fusion. Here are some standout spots to tempt your taste buds:

Restaurante El Cine – A local legend near the harbour, known for its grilled seafood, Canarian potatoes, and signature mojo sauces. It’s no-frills, but the flavors are unforgettable.
Mokelino Tapas & Cocktails – A stylish seafront spot offering creative tapas, brunch, and cocktails with a Mediterranean twist. Great for a relaxed vibe and ocean views.
Cico & C – A hidden gem for Italian food lovers, this place makes its own fresh pasta in-house. Reservations are a must. You will simply not get in without a reservation. Visit lunchtime and talk to the owner
Friends 2 – A friendly, international restaurant with a bit of everything: tapas, BBQ, tandoori, and fresh fish, all served with a view of Las Vistas beach.
Pescaito Los Cristianos – A family-run spot specializing in Andalusian and Canarian seafood dishes. Think grilled squid, shrimp omelettes, and paella made to order.
