← All restaurants in La Laguna
As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
The best burger restaurants in La Laguna aren’t to be found on a tourist promenade, but in the residential areas of the island’s former capital. Hamburguesería Lili and Burguer K operate independently, free from any franchise requirements imposed by the south of Tenerife. La Bourmet has carved out its own niche, whilst Bar Cafetería Cely serves a loyal local clientele from the neighbourhood. The university keeps prices within a student-friendly range. Anyone looking for a burger here will find local spots with a Spanish menu rather than internationally standardised chains with interchangeable menus.
Five burger spots for true La Laguna connoisseurs
A burger in La Laguna costs between 6 and 12 euros, considerably less than in the southern holiday resorts. Places such as Mi Perrito La Laguna start serving in the evening around 8 pm; during the day, the menu is often limited. The menus are mainly in Spanish, and not every restaurant accepts cards, so cash remains the safest option. You can usually find a table during the week without a booking. At the weekend, when students and locals are all out for a bite to eat at the same time, it’s advisable to book a table at the Hamburguesería las bumbas de ruby.
Tips for your visit
There’s a cluster of eateries around the university. Mi Perrito Express El Cardonal is situated in a residential area away from the old town, whilst the Hamburguesería las bumbas de ruby at 50 Heraclio Sánchez has made a name for itself. When lectures finish in the afternoon, the tables at Burguer K fill up.
Spread across the grid-like layout of the UNESCO-listed historic centre are 144 restaurants where burgers feature on the menu alongside Canary Islands cuisine. Some establishments use beef from the fertile highlands nestled amongst the vineyards. Cafetería Zumería Bachata combines a juice bar with burgers, whilst La Bourmet sets itself apart from its neighbours with its own distinctive style.
Frequently Asked Questions
When are burger restaurants in La Laguna open?
The burger restaurants in La Laguna open at lunchtime, around 12 noon or 1 pm, and stay open until around 11 pm. At weekends, quite a few establishments, such as Burger K, extend their opening hours, whilst some take a break in the afternoon during the week. As a university town, La Laguna thrives on a bustling evening atmosphere centred around the historic old town.
What’s the best way to get to the burger restaurants in La Laguna?
The old town of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, with its grid-like layout, is largely a pedestrian zone and is easiest to reach on foot. Tram line 1 connects La Laguna directly with Santa Cruz and stops centrally near the dining districts. If you’re coming by car, use the multi-storey car parks on the edge of the old town, as there are hardly any free parking spaces in the World Heritage core area.
Are there any burger restaurants in La Laguna with outdoor seating or sea views?
There are no sea views, as La Laguna is situated on a plateau in the northern interior of the island and has no access to the coast. However, quite a few of the 144 restaurants set up tables in the pedestrianised streets and squares of the old town. These terraces offer views of the historic architecture of the World Heritage Site rather than the water.
