So this little place was in the same road as our apartment and we found it on our way home one night. What a gem! We spent two nights just having a drink then on our final night ate a meal . We certainly weren’t disappointed. The food is exemplary! I’m a vegetarian and the burgers could be ordered as meat or falafel. For a starter I’d recommend the aubergine with palm honey (Betenjenas fritas con miel de palma). I’ve never tasted anything like it! Absolutely stunning. Even my 19 & 20 year old sons loved them (& they aren’t vegetable fans at all). The staff are lovely; very friendly and patient & even letting us know about a local festival that was on. Our Spanish isn’t good, their English is great. They congratulated us on trying to speak their language & made us feel better about it. We are now big fans of the local beer Dorada. Wish we could find it in London. The decor relaxed, a mix of rustic & stylish, the vibe is very relaxed. A must if you are up in this part of town. ❤️Oh, and by the way- so cheap. Such good value!!!!!!!! I wish we could find food this good and this cheap in London!!!

This restaurant is away from the centre of town but one minute away from Plaza Cristo. Modern,. clean and very original, the restaurant is full of personal touches by the friendly owners. They speak good English so the menu was explained to me, and the wine list is great. Fast service, and really delicious food. We went several times during our holiday in La Laguna and there was always something special on the menu. The music was great too, altogether a superb atmosphere and good prices.

Visited for dinner on Friday 21st January,and sat inside.Very brightly lit clean contemporary design.We had the Iberian ham platter with tomato purée and crisp breads to share followed by entrecôte and lamb.All presented well on narrow white porcelain plates very tasty but petite.Novel wine list wrapped around a large empty wine bottle.Asked for red local Tenerife wine not shown on the list and our sweet obliging waitress found some not on the "bottle" ! Desserts were again brilliantly served a strawberry cheesecake in a miniature painted flower pot and a passion fruit brûlée both delicious.All reasonably priced €50 including water and bread.

Gastrobar El Gusto Por El Vino

Reviewed By nickdring

If you go to the local market and are looking for something to eat this place is worth your time. It's on the outside of the market along with a lot of other small restaurants. It's amazing how they are able to knock out great plates of food in such a small space. We had a few tapas of croquette iberico and beef filled pastry followed by the cod omelette and fried sardines washed down with the local blanco. Bill for four came to just over €50.Is grest to have your opinion though it sounds closer to a 5 stars Thanks and see you soon

Recommend the cod with sweet potatoes and asparagus mousseline - the fish perfectly fresh, sweet potatoes taste naturally sweet. Simple, creative food with local ingredients. 2nd visit, both times were excellent. Restaurant located opposite the fabulous history museum - well worth a visit, with kids too.

We had here just a few tapas which were all very tasty. They were maybe bit pricy, the main courses were about the same price. They also had a better beer list than most of the places we visited during our trip, and the waiter - perhaps the owner - spoke very good english. It was cash only - which was not clearly told, that we did not like. Thanks to take the time to review our Restaurant We gladly appreciate your coment and sincerely we are trying to resolved the the credit card issue very soon even know it’s not our problem..Again Thank you very much

Japanese Restaurant Fujiyama I

After the great success of our Fujiyama restaurant in Santa Cruz de Tenerife we have now opened our second restaurant in El Camison, Playa de Las Americas where we specialise in Japanese cuisine cooked by our award winning chefs.

The good news first: All the food we ate was delicious. We had a huge plate of sushi, a Fujiyama Duck and duck with rice. Everything was top notch, fresh and ambitious.Unfortunately the service was substandard - I hope because of temporary staff problems. It took them 20 minutes to get us menus and take drinks orders, although the restaurant was not more than half full at the time. A good 15 minutes after we had ordered food the waiter wanted to check something about the order and it turned out he had gotten it wrong. Some time later he informed us that it would be only 1-2 minutes more, but it turned out to be 20 minutes.The food arrived way over an hour after we had sat down. With ambitious restaurants this can happen, but ambitious restaurants will be able to inform the customers so they can prepare or make a new choice.Although a couple that arrived after us managed to eat and pay before we saw our dishes, it seemed that all the tables outside had issues. A dish missing, mistakes in the bill...In Tenerife terms the restaurant is pricey. The kitchen delivers, the service did not. I really wish they can improve, because the food is worth it.

We stumbled upon this small bar on a side street and decided to stop for some food and drinks. We ordered a bottle of the local red wine, which was delicious, the croquettes and the toasted goats cheese. Everything was delicious and the lady who was serving us was very friendly and attentive.This is definitely worth a visit if you are in Santa Cruz.

Spent a lovely evening in this restaurant. Right on the front with amazing views of the sunset. Four course menus for 13.95, rice is counted as one course, was amazing value for what you got. Staff were very attentive and checked we were happy with our meal. The food was amazing and beautifully freshly cooked. I had korma and my partner had a madras and they were one of the nicest Indian meals I have had for some time. Did not feel rushed but staff on hand if you needed them. Definitely worth going along and I will be back.

From the first time we passed the restaurant we wanted to eat there. We came in on a Friday night without reservation. We only could eat at the bar, perfect for us. Had a really nice chat with the owner. The ambience is great and the food is absolutely stunning!! Really friendly staff. It was unfortunately our last night otherwise we would come back for sure
