Spanish Seafood Tapas Paella With its unassuming charm and laid-back atmosphere, the petit Bistro Mar y Montaña on the first floor in Puerto Colón is where flavours truly come to life. The standout dish is undoubtedly the paella, regarded by many locals as the best on the island.

And what’s a proper paella without a glass of their signature home-made sangria? Bursting with fruity notes and a balanced hint of spice, it’s the kind of drink that demands a slow, leisurely afternoon by the sea.

Dining on the gorgeous terrace, patrons are treated to a stunning oceanscape, that enhances the relaxed atmosphere. With the gentle sound of waves in the background, the golden sunlight of Tenerife and owner staff who really care, this is the perfect stage for a meal that feels truly special.

If paella is the heart of the menu, the jamón serrano is its soul. Known for offering some of the finest cured ham in the region, the Sánchez Romero Carvajal is an absolute must-try. Rich, savoury, and expertly sliced, this jamón embodies the kind of quality and care that Bistro Mar y Montaña is known for. And it’s reasonably priced, making it one of the best value-for-money finds in the area. Served alongside their curated selection of cheeses or simply enjoyed on its own with a glass of wine, it’s a culinary experience that transports you to the rural heartlands of Spain.

Beyond the signature dishes, the menu spans a range of Spanish classics and locally sourced seafood. Whether it’s the fresh catch of the day or a well-grilled octopus drizzled in olive oil, the flavours here are bold yet balanced, always letting the natural ingredients shine.
 

I simply can’t praise this place enough, Danny the owner is fantastic, him front of house and his wife in the kitchen, the food was absolutely amazing, the paella was wonderful, not many tables as the food is made fresh and you have to be willing to wait……but well worth drinking the beautiful wine while it’s being prepared for you, they turned loads of people away so book in advance. WONDERFUL 

What a gorgeous restaurant with lovely views. It's a hidden gem in Puerto Colon but so glad we found it. The paella is one of the best I've tried, they are so generous with their seafood and it was so tasty. Their sangria is amazing too, loads if fresh fruit and a real kick. Such lovely owners, make you feel at home, and service excellent too.

Service is brilliant, the food delicious and you can taste it is made with love, and the owner cares a lot about the Customer. Very polite, lovely, reasonable price. When you look for a Restaurant, where you'll be highly valued and you want a perfect dinner, come here.

For anyone visiting Tenerife, this bistro is more than a meal—it’s an invitation to slow down and savour the true taste of the island. Whether you’re a paella enthusiast or a lover of fine jamón, this is one culinary journey not to be missed.
