La Tasca De Mi Abuelo - a great little Canarian restaurant

La Tasca De Mi Abuelo - “Granddad’s Pub”! A homely name for a quality, quite small, Canarian restaurant. A photo of the “Granddad” in question forms their logo.

It’s unusual to find such a non-touristy place in the middle of Los Cristianos, but there you are. For those of you who don’t hire a car (I know there must be some of you) and are staying in Los Cristianos, walk up the hill away from the Arona Gran Hotel past the hotel Princesa Dacil as far as the traffic lights, then turn right. A short distance along, on the left, you’ll see an opening leading to a collection of bars, shops and restaurants, the San Marino complex. There is a Chinese restaurant called “The Overseas” there, but I’ll come to that later. Next to it is the restaurant called “La Tasca De Mi Abuelo”.

This is typically Canarian, especially popular with the locals. There is no menu for you to read. The owner (who speaks English) will come out and tell you what is available that day. (If you’re there in the evening and the place is buzzing, don’t be surprised to see him at the end of the night with his guitar, serenading the customers!)

At Tenerife mealtimes, expect to find the place absolutely packed with locals, so they must be doing something right. For a pure Canarian experience, with both atmosphere and food, you can’t beat this great little restaurant.

the granddad!
