← All restaurants in Playa De Las Americas
As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
Since the 1960s, Playa de las Américas has mainly served what British holidaymakers are familiar with: fish and chips and pub fare along the seafront promenade. For more sophisticated cuisine, you’ll need to look a little further afield. The 12 best restaurants in Playa de las Américas are rarely found on the main thoroughfare. Oiné Trattoria Italiana specialises in Neapolitan cuisine, Ganges Tandoori brings Indian dishes to the south-west coast, and Café de Paris steers clear of the fast-food chains. Ambitious chefs often work here in the Puerto Colón marina or in hotels such as the Restaurant Hotel Sol.
Restaurants in Playa de las Américas: What you need to know
At lunchtime, the ‚menú del día‘ offers a three-course meal including a drink for between ten and 14 euros, provided you choose the right restaurant. ‚Papas arrugadas con mojo‘ are less commonly found on the menu here than in the north of Tenerife, as the south is geared towards holidaymakers. The better restaurants don’t open until around 8 pm, and locals rarely turn up before 9 pm. At Easter and in August, the terraces fill up quickly, so a booking is advisable. Card payments are accepted almost everywhere, but in smaller establishments such as Mesón Las Lanzas, cash is best.
Tips for your visit
There are 52 restaurants clustered around the shopping centres and waterfront promenades, as the town was built according to a plan and has no historic old town. Their terraces face the south coast, which enjoys low rainfall. Fresh fish is served with Canary Islands potatoes and mojo sauce; the Deja Vu Restaurant Tenerife and the Restaurante Los Fogones are among the establishments where the cuisine offers more than just holiday fare.
In the side streets, 23 bars keep the evenings alive, including the Hole in the Wall Irish Pub with its own regulars. During the day, the 17 cafés open for cortado and pastries. Whilst eating, nobody notices whether a venue still belongs to Arona or is already part of Adeje.
