Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"The best local restaurant you can try in the south of Tenerife. Believe me! We didn’t want to fall for any tourist trap as there are many in this part of the island. Very traditional restaurant with a high quality of local products. In addition, the restaurant is a family bussiness run by a lovely family who is willing to advice you and tell you more about their products and food. Thank you for the experience!"
"Everything was perfect. Real food, no turist trap. The food was really delicious and fresh, even the french fries. The waiter was nice and friendly and the restaurant is a family business, so we felt really confortable there. Totally recommend!"
"I had rabbit and potatoes. The potatoes were plain, but the sauces that came with them were really nice. Rabbit is quite an interesting meat if you're open to trying new things, it's definitely worth a try. They also served some bread with a delicious dip, slightly spicy. The place is a family run business, the service is good, and the staff are really friendly."
"One of the BEST dining experience’s!! 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s located away from the busy tourist sea front restaurants - and a must if you’re in Los Cristianos. From the moment we sat down at our table, the waiter Besay, was attentive and extremely welcoming. He recommended the specials so well, I didn’t need to look at the menu - his suggestions were PERFECT. He educated us on the food, where it was sourced (all local) and also gave a TOP suggestion for the wine - which too was INCREDIBLE To start, I had the prawns in the mango infused sauce, the sardines and the goat for the mains (pics included). The food was that good I insisted to speak with the chef. Manolo, owner and chef, delighted us the stories of his family heritage and where the recipes originated - also introduced his wife, Conchi and waiter Gabriel. This is how eating out should be experienced. Passionate staff and food made with love and purpose! Well done and thank you so much for a forgettable evening."
"Stunning food! Fresh fish was beautifully cooked and a very generous portion. The Angus beef stew was outstanding. So tender and flavoursome. The owners/staff are caring and engaging and the Chef obviously knows how to cook excellent Canadian food!"
"Exceptional local wines, had the Pigs Cheek would definitely recommend. The best restaurant I’ve been to in Tenerife."
"My husband put it best: in 7 days traveling around Tenerife, this was the best food and service we had. :) We had starters, main dishes, sides, bottle of wine and deserts. What a great experience. Besides the food being super, the staf was soooooo lovely too. Thank you!"
"Everything was SPECTACULAR! The fish was fresh, chicken was delicious. Also we tried the traditional gofio escaldado: very good! They recommended amazing canarian wines too. It was the best dinner we had in our time at the island :). You can feel the dedication and love they put in the food and service: the chef came to ask which sauce was better and give recommendations. Everything fresh and local."
