Tenerife’s cuisine is a journey through authentic flavours that reflect the diversity of the island. Its dishes combine tradition, simplicity and high-quality products, always with the special touch provided by the volcanic origin of its lands. Tasting the local gastronomy is undoubtedly an essential part of any visit to Tenerife.

The volcanic flavour of the island

Tenerife’s volcanic soil enriches its crops with a unique character. Papas arrugadas with mojo sauce, wines with designation of origin and artisan cheeses are just a few examples of how the island’s nature leaves its mark on local gastronomy. The contrasts in flavour make every bite different and surprising.

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 landscapes of the north of the island.

Eating like a local: the guachinche experience

Guachinches are traditional family-run restaurants where homemade dishes are served alongside local wine. Eating in a guachinche means experiencing Tenerife from the inside: generous food, friendly service and affordable prices. It is the best way to discover the true essence of Tenerife away from the tourist circuits.

Close to authentic and well-connected areas, BLUESEA Interpalace in Puerto de la Cruz is an excellent starting point for travellers looking to discover these charming gastronomic spots.

Local products full of character

Tenerife’s gastronomy also stands out for the strength of its local products. Fresh Atlantic fish, tropical fruits such as Canarian bananas, palm honey and gofio are part of a varied and high-quality pantry. Every dish reflects the island’s character and its blend of tradition and modernity.

For travellers who prefer to discover the south and combine sea and mountain experiences, BLUESEA Lagos de César in Puerto de Santiago offers an ideal location and all the comfort needed after a day of gastronomic routes.
