Where to eat in Tenerife
Where to eat in Tenerife?
If we say that Tenerife is the best place in the Canary Islands to eat, would we be overreacting? Probably not, and anyone who has visited this land would give good faith of it. The possibilities for eating in Tenerife are many and varied, from the north, where you can eat a more traditional and indigenous food as in Santa Cruz or La Laguna, to the south of the island, where many cultures are involved and you can taste food from many parts of the world of high quality. In addition, in this travel guide we wanted to talk about the famous guachiches, practically an emblem for the people of Tenerife, and we recommend that you at least go to one on your visit to Tenerife.
What to eat in Tenerife?
If we had to rate the gastronomy of Tenerife, we could do it with adjectives such as: tasty, authentic and of quality, since in most of the dishes the local products of Tenerife are used. What can't you miss in your holidays to Tenerife? Obviously, you cannot miss the star dish of the Canarian gastronomy: some wrinkled potatoes with mojo picón, a good Canarian cheese, catalogued among the best in the world or the famous gofio, you can eat it in several ways, although the most common ones are pella de gofio and gofio escaldado
Do we go to Guachinche?
In this post about the gastronomy of Tenerife, we could not stop talking about the guachiches, without a doubt a must in your holidays in Tenerife. The first thing you should know is what Guachinches really are.
The most important thing is that they are NOT restaurants, although if you are going to eat some of the best dishes of your life, how is it possible? Guachinches are establishments where neighbours make homemade food and sell wine from their own harvest at a price that is almost ridiculous. Usually, they use house garages, kitchens, or other seldom used places in the house to 'set up a dining room' where they receive people. If you want to eat authentic local food with fresh products and also with a more than economical price, you have to come to one of the guachinches that are throughout the island, especially in the north in the municipalities of La Orotava, Santa Cruz or La Laguna.
