Tenerife: Eating

While competition is stiff in Tenerife and restaurants battle it out to tempt the tourists with cheap meal deals and even cheaper quality, there are a few places worth knowing about. Note down this choice selection and you'll feel like a local abroad...


Meson El Drago is one of the best restaurants in Tenerife for authentic local cuisine. The menu reflects the vibrancy of the island lifestyle, with colourful dishes made from fresh produce. The choice range of seafood and vegetarian dishes are complimented by a stacked wine cellar. With a choice of over 200 wines to chose from, you can be sure your meal will go down singing hymns. www.mesoneldrago.com

Lucas Maes
For a personal touch of elegance and something completely unique, the menu and setting at Lucas Maes is second to none. The Belgian head chef has adapted the menu, blending local dishes from Tenerife with his knowledge of international dishes. The restaurant is located in an old Spanish home in North Tenerife, with a view of the ocean at La Oratava. www.lucasmaes-restaurante.com

El Aderno
This local secret is where to find the best pastries and chocolates on the island. El Aderno is located in the shopping Buenavista del Norte, amidst a sea of other stores. If you don't concentrate you could walk right past it. But if you find it, you'll never forget where it is. www.eladerno.com
