10 Best Places To Eat in North Tenerife

There’s no better way to understand a culture than tasting its traditional food.

Traditional Tenerife cuisine is rustic and simple, and it’s a mix of the cuisines of Africa, Europe and America. The most typical dishes are: Papas arrugadas con mojo picón y mojo verde (wrinkly potatoes with mojo sauce), Queso asado con mojo (smoked goats’ cheese with mojo sauce), Carne fiesta ( cubes of pork marinated in spicy peppers, garlic, wine vinegar, etc.), Chopitos (tiny fried squid), Croquetas caseras ( crispy breadcrumb coated balls filled with ham, or chicken, or fish, etc.), and Pimientos de Padrón (peppers fried in olive oil).

Here are 10 Best Places to Eat in North Tenerife!

1.Guachinche Cuevas Mama Antonia

The best places to try traditional homemade food and local wine are Guachinches, typical Canarian restaurants. Guachinche Cuevas Mama Antonia offers very delicious food and local wine for a very good price. Here you’ll find friendly staff, fresh vegetables and tender meat. I especially liked Queso asado con tres salsas.

2. Guachinche La Huerta de Ana y Eva

Although it’s very difficult to find this place, it’s totally worth it. It has very tasty food and an authentic ambient. You’ll probably need to wait for a table a little bit, because it’s often overcrowded.

All I can say about this place is ”Absolutely amazing! Exquisite food, service and atmosphere”. It’s my favorite place to eat in North Tenerife.

I recommend you try bacalao con batata y mojo rojo ( cod with sweet potato and mojo rojo sauce), which is the most delicious dish I’ve tried in Tenerife.
