Cheap Tenerife restaurants with views or other surprises

Are cheap Tenerife restaurants a reason, not to cook yourself?

Yes, indeed...

Why?

Eating out often beats the cost of organizing and preparing food yourself. Packing a picnic basket may pay you for feeding many, though.

Otherwise, there are many cheap Tenerife restaurants, where an unexpected bonus is waiting for you.

The Cuban Restaurant Paraguitas by Playa Jardin

I was very disappointed when eating out there for the last time in 2023. The prices have gone up and the meals are of no value for money now. Hence, I wouldn't recommend it any more. Sorry, times have changed.

When a good chef moves away

You may have known the superb restaurant Los Olivos of Santa Ursula in Tenerife that has become history. Well its Scotsman owner Richard Etherington was chef for the Orotava Family Hotel Victoria for quite a while after closing his Santa Ursula business. We were eating at the hotel a truly magnificent 3 course meal at the end of July 2013, before booking a suite. The price of this daily menu was only Euro 10,50 per person. It included a glass of proper white or red Tajinaste which is one of best local Orotava wines.

Those were the good old days. Richard has moved to a country hotel near Candelaria.

Bodega Los Guines with its cave at El Horno

La Cosina de Dona Rosa was a good and cheap Italian Restaurant with excellent service on Playa San Marcos beach...It has changed owners. 

Cafeteria La Cayaya has been shut down in summer 2018. It was not only an economical, clean and good serviced tapas bar by the Puerto Cruz harbor but, had another surprise waiting for you.

The China International Buffets Puerto de la Cruz closed down for good during the Covid Pandemic

There are several low cost Tenerife restaurants with Chinese cuisine all over Tenerife Island. Not all serve buffets and not all are or lets say were in such a convenient location like the China International. It was  opposite the Puerto pools of Lido Lago Martianez  This restaurant offered value for money.

Tiroler Alm Puerto Cruz

Restaurante Tiroler Alm

This eating place is in La Paz of Puerto de la Cruz de Tenerife.

The family owned Austrian restaurant Restaurante Tiroler Alm is renown for its most delicious Applestrudel as well as simple value for money but, good home style cuisine. By the way already in 2023, one could not eat out there without booking a long time in advance.

Favorite snack place above La Orotava beaches

Ocean Bar Restaurant Vista Paraiso which is a must to know for having a tasty snack or lunch at an unbeatable Orotava look-out with a paradise landscape.
