Eat like a local: Restaurants worth visiting in Tenerife

Grilled octopus is a super hit dish in Tenerife, and many consider it a must-try. El Cine Restaurant has been a favourite among both locals and tourists for years. In addition to grilled octopus, the menu features fresh fish, seafood, and classic Spanish dishes, all prepared in a simple and authentic manner. One of El Cine's unique qualities is its authenticity — they don’t rely on promoters to lure customers in. The quality and reputation speak for themselves, which is why you often see lines forming outside the restaurant.
If waiting in line isn’t for you, it’s worth stepping next door to the Abordo restaurant. While Abordo's style and atmosphere differ from El Cine's, this restaurant shares the same passion for fresh seafood and authentic flavours. Although opinions vary, many claim that El Cine has lost some quality due to its long-standing popularity, while Abordo, offering a similar menu, has managed to elevate its quality according to many.

If you're looking for a pleasant evening in a stylish atmosphere with delicious food and DJ lounge music, Lounge Luuma is definitely a place worth visiting! The atmosphere is lovely, but be prepared for the fact that many people want to visit this place. We recommend reserving your table at this restaurant well in advance.

Cozy cafés that create a warm and informal atmosphere offer excellent opportunities to enjoy delicious food without major commitments. These places are the perfect choice, whether you plan to have dinner or a quick meal — here, you can simply spend quality time.
In España restaurant the quality of food and prices have received special praise over the past year, attracting more locals than tourists, which makes the prices a bit more affordable. If there are no seats available at España, Oasis is the next place to go, as it is located directly across from España. A third option just a few steps away is La Rambla — the most expensive choice among them, but also the most popular, especially among Estonians. If you are looking for a flavorful and authentic experience at an affordable price, we recommend starting with Oasis and España restaurants.
All of these places offer spicy chicken, crispy salted potatoes (papas arrugadas), fresh salads, and delicious mojo sauce, and are located near the historic church in the old town of Adeje.

El Cordero restaurant
One of the most famous meat restaurants in the southern part of Tenerife stands out for its unique location. If you spot a giant trimmed bush in the shape of a sheep, you know you're on the right track. This restaurant is situated in the middle of a banana plantation, surrounded by lush banana trees, which add a truly distinctive atmosphere to the place.
The spacious interior creates a rustic feel, as if you are in an old farmhouse, where greenery and animal-themed details provide a warm atmosphere. The quality selection of meats and cosy ambiance make it an ideal place for larger groups seeking an authentic dining experience.
La 3.60 restaurant
The restaurant's interesting name comes from its food prices, many of which are €3.60. The La 3.60 menu is diverse, offering grilled chicken breast with pepper sauce, fish, spare ribs, pork cuts, chicken curry, chicken Mexicana, and much more.
