Lucas Maes - one of Tenerife's best restaurantsIn the north, near La Orotava, you will find El Restaurante Lucas Maes. If you are staying in the south and have a car (see my page on car hire ) you may have to consider how far you are prepared to travel, just for a nice meal in luxurious surroundings. The journey from, say, Los Cristianos is sixty-odd miles and takes just over an hour. If you undertake the trip, you won't be disappointed. Once an old colonial house, it has been transformed into an elegant restaurant, set in beautiful gardens. Step inside and you can take in the four stylish and spacious dining rooms, whose decor mixes antique and contemporary features in a nice, quirky way - you might see a huge modern work of art situated next to an antique chest of drawers! If you choose to dine al fresco on the large terrace, you are treated to stunning views of El Rincon and Puerto de la Cruz. The restaurant boasts an open kitchen, where you can see the owner himself, Lucas, preparing his delcious inventions. The food is always first-rate and you enjoy it in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere.
