As of August 2026 (updated regularly)
There are ten restaurants in Punta del Hidalgo, at the end of a fertile valley in the north of Tenerife. The Ventorrillo de Mateo and the Cofradía de La Punta specialise in Atlantic fish, which their kitchens serve up fresh from the seawater tanks. The 10 best restaurants in Punta del Hidalgo are in the municipality of San Cristóbal de La Laguna and serve Canary Islands cuisine away from the southern tourist areas. The Restaurante Casa Tita and Casa Doris offer the kind of hospitality that is characteristic of this village at the foot of the Anaga Mountains.

Mealtimes in the Canary Islands set the rhythm of the day. At lunchtime, restaurants serve between 2 pm and 4 pm; in the evening, they usually don’t open until 9 pm. The ‚menú del día‘ costs between 10 and 14 euros and includes three courses plus a drink. Small bars and the one ‚guachinche‘ in the valley only accept cash, so make sure you have enough small change in your pocket. The menus at Restaurante La Picotera or the Arenisco are initially in Spanish, so knowing a few words will make your evening easier.
Tips for your visit
Fresh fish is served at the tables where the restaurants are close to the rocky coastline near the seawater pools. The Piscina Charco De La Arena has ’swimming pool‘ right in its name. At Restaurante la Caseta, Canary Islands potatoes with mojo sauce are served alongside grilled sea bass. Some windows, such as those at Columbus Playa, face the angular lighthouse.
Three snack bars serve quick meals to bathers at the edge of the cliffs. Two cafés beneath the steep slopes of the Anaga Mountains serve barraquito. The only guachinche in the inner valley serves homemade wine with hearty country fare, whilst the view stretches across the banana fields to the surf. The PLATANERA and Casa Doris are closer to the fertile end of the valley.
