San Sebastián 57
To truly appreciate the potential of Canarian cuisine, reserve a table at this sophisticated white-tablecloth establishment. Here, market-fresh ingredients like patudo (bigeye) tuna, black potatoes, and local heirloom tomatoes are transformed into flawless, modern dishes.
Enjoy culinary delights such as tataki (lightly seared tuna), ensaladilla rusa (Russian salad), and dishes with zesty vinaigrettes. The prix-fixe lunch and the more elaborate menú de degustación (tasting menu) offer fantastic value, as do the carefully curated bottles of Tenerife wine.

Almar
Almar is a top choice for those seeking delicious fish and shellfish dishes in Tenerife. Located in Costa Adeje, just a short walk from Puerto Colón, it offers stunning ocean views from its terrace, making it an ideal spot for couples to enjoy a romantic sunset dinner. While the menu predominantly features fish and shellfish, you’ll also find a selection of meats, as well as vegetarian and vegan options. For the best experience, I recommend trying the tasting menu to sample a variety of flavours.

El Rebojo | Bocados de Mar y Vinos
El Rebojo offers elevated and artistic Canarian cuisine, making it a perfect spot for a special occasion lunch or dinner. Although the atmosphere is relaxed and not overly formal, the gourmet dishes are sure to impress.
Plan to spend a couple of hours here savouring the drinks and food. The menu features mostly tapas-style dishes, and it regularly changes as new, creative dishes are added. While there are some vegetarian options, the selection is limited.
