Tenerife’s cuisine is a journey through authentic flavours that reflect the island’s diversity. Its dishes combine tradition, simplicity and high-quality local products, always enriched by the volcanic character of its land. Tasting the local gastronomy is, without a doubt, an essential part of any visit to Tenerife.

The volcanic flavour of the island
Tenerife’s volcanic soil gives its crops a unique personality. Papas arrugadas with mojo, wines with designation of origin and artisan cheeses are just a few examples of how the island’s nature shapes its gastronomy. The contrasts in flavour make every bite surprising and distinctive.
After enjoying the local cuisine, staying at BLUESEA Puerto Resort in Puerto de la Cruz is perfect for continuing to explore both the gastronomy and the northern landscapes of the island.

Eat like a local: the guachinche experience
Guachinches are traditional family-run eateries where homemade dishes are served together with local wine. Eating at a guachinche means experiencing Tenerife from the inside: generous portions, friendly service and an authentic atmosphere away from the tourist crowds. It is the best way to feel the true spirit of the island.
Close to authentic areas and with excellent connections, BLUESEA Interpalace in Puerto de la Cruz is an ideal starting point for discovering these charming gastronomic spots.

Local products with personality
Tenerife’s gastronomy also stands out for the quality and character of its local ingredients. Fresh Atlantic fish, tropical fruits like the Canary banana, palm honey and gofio make up a varied, high-quality pantry. Each dish reflects the island’s character and the balance between tradition and modernity.
For those who prefer to explore the south and combine sea and mountain experiences, BLUESEA Lagos de César in Puerto de Santiago offers an ideal location and the comfort needed after a day of gastronomic adventures.
