Bodegón Albarote

If you want to taste authentic Canarian cuisine in a welcoming, no-frills atmosphere, Bodegón Albarote is one of those hidden gems locals treasure. Located just outside Puerto de la Cruz, on the road to La Orotava, this cozy guachinche stands out for its homemade dishes crafted with traditional recipes: from stuffed aubergines to fiesta meats with wrinkled potatoes, not forgetting an octopus that many guests describe as exquisite. Everything served in generous portions at very reasonable prices.

The venue keeps that authentic Canarian guachinche spirit, with a pleasant terrace perfect for a relaxed meal during weekdays or weekends. Service is warm and personal, with that family touch that makes you feel right at home. Just remember to bring cash, as they only accept payment in money. Open Friday through Tuesday for lunch and dinner, closed Wednesdays and Thursdays.
