Resturante Algarrobo

We visited this restaurant twice. We stayed in La Oratava, in northern Tenerife, because we wanted a true reflection of the 'real Tenerife ' and this restaurant beat any other we visited by a wide margin. Don 't be put off by the side street location and low profile frontage. The eating area is unpretentious but spotlessly clean, as is the kitchen. The menu comprises an extensive range of local dishes (yes, and there is an English translation too! but if you want burger and chips its not for you. Personally, on each occasion I stuck to the specials recommendations board for all my choices which the waiter explained in a very good attempt at English (far better than our Spanish . The food was fantastic especially, the locally caught fish and sauces, which were really delicious (as were the locally sourced meat dishes such as goat and rabbit . Although none of us speak any Spanish worthy of conversation, all of the staff (owner, waiter and chef were friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly helpful. A couple of our party have serious food intolerance 's to various ingredients (e.g. garlic and onions which for others are essential flavourings the staff fully understood our requirements and prepared our orders individually absolutely brilliant! The cost per person for a full dinner including starters, main meal, (desert if you could make that far and superb local wine, averaged approximately 25 euros per person. Overall: extensive choice, delicious Canarian food, friendly and helpful staff and all at a very reasonable cost. Fantastic!

Really lovely staff and excellent food in a little hidden alley on the outskirts of La Orotava! Although cheap, the food is delicious. My meal (main and dessert) came to less than €10, however, it was one of the better meals I’ve had since we arrived. There’s a very wide selection of food so there is likely to be something for everyone. P.s. I recommend bonbon gigantes from the desserts menu a very smooth and dark chocolate mousse. It may look small but it’s incredibly rich and more than enough to satisfy your need for a sweet, after meal, treat!

Gran servicio, se nota que el restaurante está gestionado con corazón. ¡Reservamos la oferta de prueba a través de Groupon y estábamos muy emocionados! Se superaron nuestras expectativas e incluso hubo que reordenar el desierto de brownie porque ¡estaba increíblemente delicioso!

We've been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years. The food here has been amazing every single time we've been. The menu is extensive and it's easy to find a dish you'll like. The owners are always so welcoming. I really recommend this Tenerife restaurant.
