Handpicked by a Tenerife Local Expert, we bring you our guide to 'Best Restaurants in Puerto de la Cruz'.
Tito's Bodeguita
Set in a 17th century colonial mansion complete with courtyard, welcome to Tito's Bodeguita, an authentic piece of Canarian heritage. The menu looks traditional Canarian at first glance but that's where the history lesson ends because the options have a delightful modern twist to them. The octopus salad with a ginger and orange dressing is a demonstration of how to use 'staple' ingredients fused ...
Restaurante Poco Loco
Why not go a 'little crazy' and visit Poco Loca(!) just outside Puerto de La Cruz... probably the most authentic Mexican restaurant on the island. a cobbled courtyard, garish colours, Mexican beer and carafes of iced cold maragaritas add to the fun.

Casa Mediterranea
Often heard is the phrase 'we stumbled across this hidden gem'... well don't wait to stumble across this restaurant on your last night; go on your first night!

Wide ranging with home made pasta, sea bream and ...

Maybe it's a special night and nothing but the best is good enough, La Rosa di Bari is just such a place. Immediately you walk in you will know you have made the right choice; elegant surroundings, intimate dining, walls adorned with original pieces of art... need we go on. Of course, appearances can be deceptive but not here. You will find on your plate exquisitely prepared dishes that would g...
Tasca El Olivo
Of course there are many fine restaurants on Tenerife offering tapas but if you're looking for tapas with surprises then Tasca El Olivo offers just that. 'Polished rustic' best describes the pleasant interior whilst the pavement terrace is an ideal vantage point to soak in the atmosphere of bustling Puerto. Each dish seems to be more innovative than the last building an air of anticipation and ex...
