← All restaurants in Los Cristianos
As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
Los Cristianos is part of the municipality of Arona on the south-west coast of Tenerife and is home to 25 cafés. Ferries depart from the harbour for La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro, and whilst waiting for your crossing, you can order a cortado on the Paseo Marítimo. Panaria bakes its own pastries on the premises, whilst Café 5 is situated closer to the water. Behind the old fishing harbour, locals enjoy their morning coffee at Morales. The 12 best cafés in Los Cristianos range from Caffetteria Pasticceria Dana to Churrería y cafetería Plaza Venezuela.
Los Cristianos: Coffee with a real harbour vibe
Before 9 am, there isn’t much choice, but after that the cafés along the seafront promenade open. In the side streets, a café con leche costs around 1.50 euros, whilst at the tourist hotspots it’s three times that. Small cafés in the harbour area, such as Chope 2018 on Av. Juan Alfonso Batista, prefer to be paid in cash. If you have a go at speaking Spanish, you’ll find more willingness to accommodate you at Marullo buen rollito. The Bananas Cafetería has its terrace facing the sea, as does Café 5, and at peak times it gets quite crowded at both venues.
Tips for your visit
In the morning, guests watch the ferries heading for La Gomera from the terrace of the Bananas Cafetería. From the Panaria, the scent of fresh pastries wafts through the alleyways behind the fishing harbour. Further down, closer to the sandy beaches, is Café 5.
Behind the Paseo Marítimo, nine Italian restaurants hold their own, the aroma of espresso wafting out of their doors onto the pavements. The Caffetteria Pasticceria Dana stands out as a café in its own right amongst the town’s 41 bars, whilst the Marullo offers a relaxed atmosphere with small portions. As soon as the afternoon sun moves across the coast, the tables beneath the sun awnings fill up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you get by speaking German in restaurants in Los Cristianos?
German is spoken in many of the 56 restaurants in Los Cristianos, as international tourism has shaped the town for years. Menus are often available in several languages, and English is also helpful. Away from the seafront promenade, the prevalence of German-speaking staff decreases noticeably.
Do you need to book in advance at cafés in Los Cristianos?
At the 25 cafés in Los Cristianos, you generally don’t need to book; popping in at short notice is the norm. During the peak season and right on the promenade, seats by the sea can get scarce at times. For smaller groups, turning up without a booking is usually fine.
What vegetarian options do cafés in Los Cristianos offer?
Cafés in Los Cristianos often serve tostadas, bocadillos with cheese or vegetables, salads and meat-free pastries. There are also tapas such as papas arrugadas with mojo or tortilla. Fresh fruit and smoothies round off the vegetarian selection at several venues.
