If you fancy a break from Canary Islands cuisine, you’ll find in Puerto de la Cruz plenty of options serving international cuisine. Don Camilo is one of the better restaurants serving international cuisine. This Italian restaurant impresses not only with its food, but also with its lovely outdoor area.
Situated right on Plaza Benito Pérez Galdós, visitors can take a seat not only inside the restaurant but also in the spacious outdoor area. The recently renovated square offers a wonderful view of the illuminated palm trees and the neighbouring bars and restaurants.
Don Camilo – generous portions and good quality
Don Camilo certainly holds its own against the neighbouring establishments. Whilst the menu consists almost exclusively of Italian cuisine, the food is of a very high standard, making it a genuine alternative to the competition. An extensive pizza and pasta menu is complemented by salads, bruschetta, and a selection of fish and meat dishes.
The stone oven perfectly complements the baked delicacies. However, the other dishes are also of a high standard. Our recommendation: the beef fillet with pepper sauce and vegetables (€17). The portions of main courses and starters are huge, which is why it’s best to share the starters.
The outdoor area in particular, despite its size, fills up quickly, especially during the peak season. However, the traffic-calmed neighbourhood is perfect for a stroll, so any waiting time can easily be passed. One slight downside: even on repeat visits, the friendliness of the waiting staff varies depending on their mood on the day.

Don Camilo is located at Calle Mequinez 53 in Puerto de la Cruz, almost exactly halfway between Plaza del Charco and Playa Jardin. The restaurant is open from 12 noon to 11 pm on Sundays to Thursdays, and from 12 noon to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. It is closed on Tuesdays.
