Taoro Restaurant should be part of a special day while on holiday in Tenerife.

Taoro Restaurant in Puerto de la Cruz is a must when on holiday in Tenerife.

Why?

Because of its surroundings to start with...

Ask any of the many returning tourists at the famous Tigaiga Hotel nearby... They all know it.

Besides, we want value for money when eating out. At Restaurant Taoro we get it.

Here is a restaurant in the north of Tenerife that, absolutely, merits an excursion, a day trip or a couple of hours to enjoy food and drink.

The sign outside reads Restaurante Taoro.

The waiter told us that the owner is never there and no, he has no homepage for it either nor does he seem to do any advertising. "Why should he do publicity for Restaurante Taoro?" asked the waiter. "It's not needed"...

So much to a business attitude in Puerto de la Cruz...

Here, you find some detailed directions with a couple of photos to show you how to get to my best garden restaurant in the north from the center of Puerto de la Cruz.

Let me tell you further on about a meal at Taoro Restaurant that I had there with a friend, on a late Sunday afternoon.

Mirador Dulce-Maria Loynaz, (look-out)is named after the Cuban poet(1902 -1997). Taoro Restaurant is the building behind the fountain and can also be seen from the road side.

The live water
display of the fountain spring is complemented by a bowl of lush green elephant ear plants within the fountain.

In the background you discover
the building of a restaurant. It is the garden restaurant the page is all about.
Tall palms are around it.

You can´t see the entrance of Taoro Restaurant as it's hidden by more plants.

The Mirador is a large area with yet another fountain. It has benches for resting, lots of flowers and, tall trees beside tall palms. There are several best view points from here of Puerto de la Cruz. And, they are all by Taoro Restaurant.The venerable building of former Casino Puerto de la Cruz is next door.

This building is towering over the oldest resort in Tenerife. It may often be seen from far away.

You will not find such an exceptional stimulating landscape such as around Taoro Restaurant away from your holiday home in Tenerife, easily.

Bring your camera, you will see many best motives for unforgettable photo shots when you go to Taoro Restaurant. All for the memories of an island...

In the photo you may see Taoro Restaurant with a bush of red flowers right by some of the tables. The picture shows you that you have found a garden restaurant, indeed.

I did not include photos of other areas of the garden restaurant where you see tables under palm trees. Wherever you chose to sit to take a meal or, even the smallest refreshment you are within plants. You are always facing the Mirador as well as the waterfall park of Taoro. You may even hear the falls at your table while having something.

Here you see a section of Taoro Restaurant under a canvas roof.

So, you are not obliged to be in the sun.

All sitting facilities are outside. Only a small bar and, the kitchen of the restaurant are within the building.

A friend wanted to see the Bello Risco waterpark where we had a slice of yummy cheese cake with good coffee that included cream. We paid EU 5,--, each of us.

Then we happened to pass by the restaurant at the Mirador by the waterfalls of Taoro Park. My friend was so surprised to find a restaurant, there.

We planned just to have one more coffee there, one more little Spanish coffee, this time.

My friend admired the blue agapanthus flowers when we came in.

She also loved the gentle noise that came from the fountains. I absolutely adored the bed of yellow lilies in front of the restaurant.

But, then, my friend saw the delicious salad on a table next to us. "It's very good", said the tourist couple that we asked if they liked it. "It's part of the daily menu", the man added. "It's very good. Look, it's advertised on a board there." There it was on a black board. "Menu of the day: Grilled fish, baby potatoes,tropical salad, dessert, EU 8,20."

We were not "that" hungry after the cake at Bello Risco.

"What about sharing?" my friend asked me. She knew that I would approach the waiter.

We got our one person dish with 2 plates and, 2 sets of cutlery. Only the extra wine for one of us had to be paid separate plus, the extra ice cream, of course. I didn't even want it after I had finished my half share of perfect fish and, all the other halves, you now. The portion had been so generous, that we both had plenty enough.

After that cake at Bello Risco, you know...

Even the little potatoes were perfect. The green herbal sauce for them at the side was exquisite. We both loved the strong garlic in it

Here we had a perfect lunch at night with the most perfect view that was part of the Mirador area.

I, totally, forgot to take yet one more photo of it. My page is getting endless, anyway. No more picture... Right? "So, when are we coming back here for supper", my friend asked smiling.

Restaurant entertainment:

At 8 p.m., a young blond lady started singing for the numerous guest of this superb garden restaurant called Taoro in Taoro Park. She had a little organ mounted in front of her. She only pretended playing. It didn't matter to us. The music we heard was well synchronized with her lovely voice.

I forgot to take a picture of her.

Perhaps, the music at Taoro Restaurant is only offered on Sundays and, in high holiday seasons like August.

It wouldn't matter. A meal or anything you take at this place is worth every penny you spend. Entrance is free, don't forget...

When we left the restaurant and, crossed the park area of the look-out we admired the illumination that came from old lamps that are in different locations of the park.

See more photos of Taoro Park with its wonderful flower filled roads and views over the lower part of the oldest resort on Tenerife Island.

You will then understand why my biggest wish would be to have my holiday home in Tenerife in Taoro Park. This suburb of Puerto de la Cruz is such a great location for spending a holiday on a Canary Island in Spain.

Also, the area reminds me a similar leafy surrounding of my past where I was very happy.
