This intriguing old fashioned restaurant is run by one elderly lady who keeps things pretty simple, but does it very well. There is no menu so you get what's on offer for the day, and they only use local seafood. Picture: asadorcasaramon.com    

4. Tasca Tierras del Sur, Granadilla

Everything you would want from Tapas. Food, atmosphere, price & service can’t be faulted. Picture: tascatierrasdelsur.com    

5. Lucas Maes, La Orotava

“The one with a beautiful setting”

In fairness, there are a few we could have selected here. We’ve gone for Lucas Maes, situated in the grounds of old renovated mansion, the outside dining area has gorgeous gardens and beautiful décor throughout. The exceptional food is also worth noting. Picture: restaurantelucasmaes.com    

6. Otelo, Adeje

“The one for a local speciality”

Pollo al ajillo ( Chicken with Garlic ) is definitely a local speciality that should not be overlooked. Experience some proper home cooking that is a hit with the locals.    

7. Kabuki, Abama

“The one with a Michelin Star”

Beautiful Japanese restaurant with minimalist décor and with a focus on simplicity and high quality produce. Definitely the best Japanese in Tenerife, probably Spain. Picture: ritzcarlton.com & The Telegraph    

8. M. B. (Martín Berasategui), Abama

“The one with TWO Michelin Stars”

When one Michelin Star isn’t quite enough, based in the same Hotel as Kabuki is this gem from the prestigious Basque chef Martin Berasategui. Not cheap, but phenomenal food done with real creative flair. Picture: movemountainstravel.com

10. Tasca la Tata, Santa Cruz de Tenerife

“The vegetarian option” 

It can be tough in Spain sometimes to find a reliable and quality place for vegetarian food, which is why Tasca la Tata is such a great find.
