Healthy and good food made with love in a unique place
Reviewed By Just-C-Reviews
Really impressed with this little cafe in Teror. Perfectly placed, it sits bordering the beautiful church plaza. The waiter was friendly, cool and was attentive enough to try and speak English with us when I was struggling with my Spanish. The menu was pleasantly inexpensive and the menu choice was more than sufficient. They didn't have everything on the menu when we were there; however, we were kindly given a free dish to try (one with locally sourced ingredients) which was delicious. This was a great place to chill and relax in the sun and we would definitely come back if we were to return to Teror.

I wish this tapas bar was at home!!The owners are brilliant, so friendly and welcoming. We ate here three times having different tapas on each occasion and enjoyed it every time. They serve nice beer and wine to go along with the tapas.They do a tapas deal of four tapas and bread for 10 euros which we shared between us. Amazing value and very tasty.We sat outside one night and as it started to get a bit cooler, the lady appeared with two fleece blankets - so nice.Muchas gracias por su opinión, esperamos verlos de nuevo y pronto, sean felices
7. Restaurante El Encuentro de Teror

Situated right in the quiet square facing the basilica (it's not a cathedral), El Encuentro competes with a couple more restaurants for the occasional influx of visitors, especially at the weekend. Quiet, except during days, like today, when they hold some event or other. Today, it was a road race.El Encuentro has both outdoor and indoor seating, so take your pick. It serves Spanish cuisine, but focussing more on Canarian dishes. The portions were rather miserly, more like tapa sizes, or half-portions, at best, so you'd end up ordering quite a few.We started with papas negras, which are a variety only found in Tenerife. They are not found in abundance, so they're more expensive than the other common types. When you cut the potatoes open, you'll be treated with creamy yellow flesh, similar to that of sweet potatoes. They're cooked the "arrugadas" style, boiled with the peel, in highly salted water, which makes the skin wrinkle, and accompanied with mojo sauce. Wonderful as these black potatoes were, I've tasted better. Perhaps, it needed more of the sauces...The croquettes came in 3 kinds of filling: Iberian ham, cod (these two were rather too salty for my liking) and Chorizo de Teror (these were sweetish). The chipirones (baby squid) were bigger than others I've seen and were somewhat tougher too. Bearing in mind that these are usually cheaper than the bigger calamares, I found this dish not value for money.Other dishes we had were a cheese platter, except it wasn't really a platter, keeping in line with their small-portions policy; the normal papas arrugadas, and gofio escaldado. Gofio is traditional Canarian flour, which has a distinct flavour, and this is cooked with fish stock. If you've never tried it, I suggest you did.Service was adequate but next time, I'd be more inclined to try one of those restaurants on the side streets rather than this.

This bar is located in the heart of the old town, just across the street from the church steps. Although it serves meals, it is mostly known as a place to meet friends and have a drink on the weekend. There are a variety of tapas or snacks to choose from and the prices are reasonable.

Nice and cosy restaurant in the center of Teror, combining the typical Canary island style with the homely warmth of the Scandinavian countries. Vegetarian, vegan and ecological options.

Follow the sign boards away from the main square and down the steep, narrow street. We booked for dinner, earlier than most locals, but the place filled later in the evening. Very friendly and attentive staff, food prepared fresh and all tasted good. Good selection of beer and wine at reasonable prices.Went back a couple of days later for coffee in the courtyard. Very pleasant haven from the busy Sunday market.

We stopped at the Tasquita on our way to the airport. The place is a nice Tappas restaurant, with an ample selection of dishes, all typical mediterranean. The service was super friendly and we had a good time.

This place is incredible. It's not just a restaurant, but a museum of wine! The house red wine is delicious, and simply trusting the owner to recommend the meal is recommended. Everything we ate here was delicious, and we took two bottles of wine home with us!
