Gastronomy Tenerife
The gastronomy of Tenerife shouldn¡t be ignrored.
The local fish is of excellent quality. It's fresh, tasty and is cooked masterfully with olive oil, vinegar and grilled with a lot of garlic. Our favourite local fishes are among others "cherne", "sama" and "pampano". The prices in Tenerife are very competitive compared to the rest of Europe. 20-25€ per kilo for fish is a very good price actually.
We would hereby present and recommend our customers our favourite places. All offer excellent quality and a good service.
In the afternoon, close to us, you can enjoy the sunset or have breakfast in Taoro Park in two of the most beautiful cafés in Puerto de la Cruz (Bar Albertos and Terraza Taoro).
