Tenerife has developed its own distinctive cuisine that goes far beyond papas arrugadas and mojo. Canarian guachinchen serve home-style cooking made with local ingredients, coastal villages have been perfecting their fish restaurants for generations, and in Santa Cruz and Puerto de la Cruz, international influences meet local traditions. Anyone wishing to explore the island’s culinary scene will find a guide here, organised by category and location.
