Tenerife restaurants are changing.
My preferred restaurants in Tenerife north are for different reasons:Cafeteria Cayaya for its view and good tapas. Taoro Restaurant for its good meals and park surroundings.
Bistro Restaurant Marilu for its fish and closeness to beach.
La Cosina de Dona Rosa a cheap Italian beach restaurant on Playa San Marcos beach Icod de los Vinos. More on them in a long list below until I have more pages for them established. Now, to what happens to restaurants in Tenerife:
Tenerife restaurants aren't spared the brunt of internationally rising prices and cheaper holiday tours offered as package deals to tourists. Hotel food is included in those.
Let me explain:
End of June I had a little The news about this were spread by Puerto Cruz waiters and cooks. La Casa de Miranda Restaurant (Restaurante La Miranda) was once an excellent and then a good Tenerife restaurant and was widely known for it. "The owner is old ", the flower lady told me. He doesn't want to go on because, hotels take all business away. Too many tourists eat in hotels nowadays."
"Look at Buffets Apartments Girasol! That's closed, too!" the flower lady, also, said. I've checked this. Girasol Buffets are not on offer, any more.. Chinese Kitchen and Take Away:However, a big Chinese Restaurant which is opposite Lago Martianez is offering very cheap buffets now.CHINESE FOOD BUFFETS now, for, only Euros 5.95... More on this below... Hotel with Tenerife restaurant gone with the wind of times:I don't dispute that Tenerife holidays with hotel food included is ideal for all who need to know how much pocket money they have left for a vacation, especially, for a short one. I have eaten in Tenerife hotels and, was very happy, although, sometimes, I did crave one of the more adventurous Tenerife restaurants. A holiday budget should allow for eating like a king, at least, once in a while. Tapas can do the trick for one or more special nights out - at least in Tenerife...
Make ends meet and join the club of the vicious cycle:A few hotels as well as some restaurants are trying to make ends meet by employing cheaper staff and/or by buying inferior quality food. I experienced this lately but, didn't have to pay for the dish (some slightly off chicken if you are asking me). Picking new restaurants on Tenerife Island is easy, changing hotels is costly. Know where you go... More insider knowledge for you about part time Tenerife restaurants:
Some Tenerife eating places are now closed on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Others, only, open on week-ends. Some of them are in or, rather, behind Calle San Felipe in the pedestrian zone just off Plaza del Charco Puerto de la Cruz in direction of Playa Jardin. My pal Guenther had an insider name for this secluded area, once, hub of fisher folk, now, for Tenerife restaurants Puerto de la Cruz. I forgot the name of this section of Puerto Cruz town. New anti smoking laws for restaurants in Tenerife:Some of well frequented restaurants in Tenerife lost clients temporarily because of the new non smoking laws. Smokers are getting used to having breaks on verandas outside or just standing in the road. Shop owners and workers do likewise as people from restaurants.
Every restaurant, bistro, bar or similar eating establishment must now display smoking or no smoking signs. Still, restaurant toilettes have no smoke alarms, though. Good selection of Tenerife restaurants still exists.We, yet, have a nice choice of restaurants on Tenerife Island in different price classes, however. Is it neither here nor there?What are cheap Tenerife restaurants? How much do they charge? What are they like? Cheap restaurants, bistros and bodegas:Beware of cheap eating establishments such as in tourist hubs...The fact that the jolly nice food photos displayed outside with prices from Euros 4.50 to Euros 7.00 which classifies their food as cheap doesn't mean that you will get value for money nor is their food bad when its cheap. But, gourmet it isn't. Bistro food prices Tenerife haven't really changed, Nevertheless, watch the drinks in some cases.Drink in Tenerife seems to have legs that rushes up price ladders.
In fact, food bistro prices have hardly gone up in 2008 as I noticed in the north as far as food is concerned. Where you get hit with are sometimes drinks prices. Not even the tiny expresso say cortado is safe. Location is slightly less important than the reputation of an inn. Therefor, you have rather cheap bistros in Puerto Cruz tourist hub as well as rather expensive restaurants right beside them. Therefore, viva capitalism! Avenida Generalisimo Restaurants, cafés and bistros:On Avenida Generalisimo/ C. Hoya is Cafe Royal. 7 meters next to it you get the same coffee for 75 cents at Bar Cosmopolitano where you even sit in more comfortable chairs. Both places have exactly the same view. Perhaps Café Royal offers yummy German cakes to eat. Where's the logic, anyway? What gastronomy mentality is that? Or is it a statement for a ghetto café or eating place which makes for discrimination? There is no restaurant in Avda.Generalisimo I would recommend. There's a posh looking Chinese place up the road but, nobody told me I must go there. Following are some eating places with price ideas for you that provide a nice change, are conveniently located near a beach, a shopping center or have other advantages:
Restaurants by beachesThe first of below Tenerife Restaurants is not exactly facing the beach which is a real beach, the other does but, is not opposite a real beach.
Hamburgueseria Cafeteria MARILU Rancho Grande Restauranton Paseo San Telmo (off limits to cars)
La Cocina de Doña Rosa Buffets or eat till you drop:Tenerife Restaurants for hungry eaters by sea shores or inland: CHINESE INTERNATIONAL RESTAURANT Restaurants by shopping centers or hubs:Tenerife Restaurants in Puerto de la Cruz near or at Plaza delCharco:
LA CASONA RESTAURANT Plaza del Charco, 13 Tel.: + 34 922 373 422 Restaurante LA MIA NAPOLI Decor and furnishings without luxury. Note please, What is, also, interesting is that Tenerife restaurants, bistros/bars or bodegas can be run by several waiters who own them together. This gives a better restaurant standard for service and food. Restaurants owned by several people who work in them are unlikely to pay for advertisement. RESTAURANTE LOS GEMELOS Upper price class and El Molino:By the way I call upper price class compared to medium to upper prices when they charge you Euros 16 or more for a Solo Mio which is a beef filet in Be assured that Restaurante El Molino in not the only of Tenerife restaurants on steep hills and according prices. It sure looks like the right place to entertain a prospective interesting business partner. Bar Restaurant TIROLER ALM Tenerife Restaurants Los Realejos:Restaurante LA FINCA (restaurant) Tel.: + 34 922 362 143 I've eaten fish there when it wasn't my lucky day. The fish was a bit burned, but, I had tasted my partner's food which was very good. Interesting is also BAR BISTRO LA BARCA Owners see to it that 'straight' people are never being harassed at LA BARCA. MESON EL MONASTERIO Tenerife Restaurants with excellent entertainment:Restaurante Amerinca event restaurantwith best north Tenerife tapas of 2007 Suddenly in August 2008 restaurant Amerinca was closed.
Tenerife Take Away food:Restaurant Bistro Asador "El Monturrio" One of Tenerife Restaurants for art such as painting, sculptures and poetry. Las Palmeras Arte Restaurante (restaurant) Restaurante Taoro (Restaurant Taoro) for a pleasant afternoon, lunch, or day trips. I am not sure if Sunday live entertainment still takes place at Restaurante Taoro but, I wouldn't care much if it didn't because, I love its salads in particular and the great park it's within. Bistros know no closing times and have personal that works shifts. Normal days for closure of Tenerife restaurants are Mondays and/or Tuesdays. Disclaimer:There is no guaranty that Tenerife Restaurants might not close on more week days, lately, and, I wonder if it's worth noting closure days as they are subject to much sudden change.
