El Taller Seve Díaz

★ Michelin€€€Contemporary, Creative

In this restaurant, a visit to which is almost compulsory for food-lovers visiting the island, the team is of the firm belief that the customer is always king. We can definitely confirm this approach given chef Seve Díaz’s constant and very natural contact and interactions with his guests. Located just a few steps from the central Plaza del Charco, it occupies the ground floor of a property with a contemporary design that comes as a surprise, plus a split-level dining room. The culinary focus here is on two tasting menus (a short option entitled “Sorpresa” (Surprise), and a second simply calle

Bib Gourmand 1

Furancho La Zapatería

Bib GourmandGalician

A Galician restaurant on Tenerife that, despite its simple decor, is highly original. Behind its colourful façade, which recreates the glass frontage of an old shoe shop, the friendly couple running it (Emma is in the kitchen; Alberto in the dining room) focus on an unusual combination of Galician and Canary Island products, the former brought in fresh from Fisterra (La Coruña) every other day by the owner’s brother. Highlights on the menu here include the octopus empanadas, the entrecôte of Galician veal, grilled scallops, and mussels with a mojo sauce that are a must. Only cash payment accep

Most reviewers praise the high food quality, attentive service, and homely atmosphere, highlighting owner Alberto’s passion.

Brunelli's

€€steak_house

A splendid steakhouse located close to the entrance to the Loro Parque zoo. This family-run restaurant is a must on the island for meat-lovers given its choice of top-quality meat, with the advantage of many being aged on the premises. Make sure you try Brunelli's steak tartare, its signature speciality, or one of its superb cuts of grilled meat (Uruguayan beef entrecôte, Nebraskas Black Angus T-Bone, German Simmental ribeye, Chateaubriand and Spanish Tomahawk), many of which are sold by weight and designed for two people to share. The particularly impressive picture window here overlooks the

Nila

€€Farm to table

Located in the heart of El Sauzal, next to the San Pedro Apóstol church, this pleasant family-run restaurant occupies a property where you’ll find a relaxed ambience, lots of personality and an interior that is striking for its vintage decor (wood, a female mannequin, rock and roll memorabilia, ceramic crockery made by the owners etc) and charming terrace. The à la carte, which usually changes every week, is highly varied and adapts to what is available in the market, so don’t be surprised to find dishes such as amberjack sashimi, sea bass ceviche, squid lasagne, Nilo’s truffled eggs etc on th

Located in Sauzal, Nila emphasizes farm-to-table dining. Reviews frequently praise the high food quality, highlighting dishes like snails, grilled eggplant, and tenderloin, alongside an extensive wine list and desserts. Service is generally described as attentive and friendly, though isolated incidents of rudeness or communication barriers during reservations have been noted. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, featuring a terrace suitable for families, but some guests found the Spanish-only menu limiting and missed background music. Opinions on value vary; while many appreciate the culinary experience, others feel the prices are high relative to portion sizes or complain about excessive spiciness. Overall, it offers a charming setting with strong gastronomic potential, despite occasional service inconsistencies.

Suitable for diners seeking authentic flavors and a cozy atmosphere, with advance confirmation of menu language and service details recommended.
