Top 10 Spanish food in Puerto de la Cruz, Canary Islands, Spain
Find out what Spanish restaurants to try in Puerto de la Cruz. One of Tenerife's top resorts, Puerto de la Cruz is on the north coast of the island. Both Spanish and island traditions are evident in the former fishing village. Its Sardine Festival and annual Carnaval are two highlights of life on the island. Busy, narrow streets of the Old Town, packed with colonial architecture, make walking a safer bet than driving. Popular attractions include Lago Martianez, the casino, Parrot Pool, the Banana Plantation and the Botanical Gardens, which date back to 1788.

It was Easter Sunday and we were due to go back to the airport later that day, we chanced upon this place and decided to try the menu of the day. The waiter was so helpful, the wine (I' m not a wine person) was rather nice and the meal was absolutely delicious. I didn't want to eat for the rest of the day in case I spoilt the lovely memory of it all. The only disappointment was that we hadn't discovered this place earlier as we had been b&b and we would never had gone back to all the other places we had been to. You really must find this place.

Stopped for lunch a la Cocina having found it on tripadvisor. Very friendly staff who helped us choose 5 great tapas dishes washed down with a very nice house red. Each tapas dish was thoughtfully presented and all were great especially the mushrooms and the peppers hoping to go for another visit before returning home.

Mediterranean tapas with local and fresh products
Reviewed By LARGOBAY
Yet another faultless dinner at this very well run restaurant.A new complimentary appetiser of cherne & beetroot created by Chef Claudioâs mother was a perfect start to our meal.Fillet of pompano with a light lemon grass sauce was perfectly cooked and served with purée of sweet potato ... Claudio & Melissa are experts in timing of all fish dishes.Duck magret sauced with spicy orange and served with purée of carrots was perfectly pink and totally delicious.Long time waitress Jacqueline has gone to Holland for family reasons but her replacement Dominique , a tall and amiable Frenchman , has stepped into her shoes admirably.Tasca Ihuey is one of our two favourite restaurants in Puerto and it is best to book in advance.Very highly recommended.

Owners Diego ( chef) and Melanie ( out front) are perfect hosts who are determined to ensure that all their clients enjoy a relaxing meal in their restaurant situated in a quiet lane in Puerto.Diego only uses top quality beef from his native Argentina and also from Uruguay.Steaks are absolutely super and cooked exactly as requested and the good sized Tenderloin was full of flavour and excellent value at â¬15.Desserts are more interesting than those usually found in Tenerife and a well textured chocolate mousse with a splash of brandy is strongly recommended.On the night of our visit almost everyone booked a return visit which was no surprise since the food is good and the service is so pleasant and caring.Well done again Diego and Melanie....you are lovely people who deserve to be very successful.Needless to say we will be returning next Thursday.

Another very good meal at Bambi.We shared two main courses : salmon topped with ribbons of vegetables with sauté potatoes and a super French mustard and lime sauce.Followed with tender ossobucco of veal with a well made pea purée.Everything full of flavour and well served by owner Daniel.Best wine list in Puerto by a mile and enjoyed Beronia Reserva Rioja 2014 (23 euros).Real food lovers must give Bambi a try.

we made a trip from our place in the south to the north to eat here due the the high reviews and were really disappointed...We had the 'tasting menu' which was ok but nothing really rememberable, oh apart from my wife having not one but TWO huge, we're talking 30mm long & thick, fish bones in a piece of fish no bigger than 50mm square...waiter reponse was "oh really" yes, that's all he said.....Best part of the meal, the red wine and that sums it up, would I return, your joking.I suggest if you want a really decent meal, go south and try the michelin star restaurants....

Mama Nena: food to share by Hermanos Suárez.
Reviewed By Como_Siempre
Haydee has moved up the road, Mama Nena has been created by the Suarez. To call it "son of Haydee" is doing it a disservice. It stands on it's own.Four of us shared the dishes:Crispy Crab Bao with Yuzu Mayo. 2 between four of us. Managed to keep us all quiet (with maybe one exception!). Delicious.Salad of Crispy Prawns and red fruit vinaigrette. My oh my! Lovely.Tuna Tartar with gooseberry ponzu. Magnificent blend of a variety of different tastes which possibly shouldn't work but does.Meatballs over Udon noodles with teriyaki sauce. OMG - the taste of the noodles! Meatballs good too!!Pork Rib cooked at low temperature with strawberry hoisin - the previous dishes were excellent - so was this! Again, another wonderful blend of unexpected tastes. Which worked very well!And then came the Postres! Well this was seething else! Chocolate Foam, cream of galletta maria with date ice cream. The taste literally did explode in your mouth!Electric Lemon Pie - the best lemon pie I have ever tasted!Banana ceviche with tiger milk ice cream and rocoto. Can't really comment as I was unable to prise a taste! Suffice it to say there were many satisfied grunts being made!Crunchy vanilla strudel with kaffir lime ice cream and curry. This dish probably defines the whole meal, a blend of different tastes which probably shouldn't be mixed together but they work spectacularly well.2 bottles of Balancies White and two bottles of water. Much Pan and Mantiquilla. â¬146.A wonderful meal and thoroughly recommended.Thank you so much for such a kind review! We are truly honoured to receive this great words within our first month!We hope to have you back very soon so you can continue to experience our innovative cuisine. Best,
