Donde Nico & Rosi

Donde Nico & Rosi is the kind of local gem that Santa Cruz residents treasure and keep close to their hearts. Located on Leoncio Rodríguez street, this family-run café-bar has won over neighbors and local workers with its authentic homemade cooking and that warm, welcoming treatment that makes you feel right at home.

What really stands out here is the variety of traditional dishes that Nico and Rosi prepare with genuine homemade care: from their famous ribs with potatoes and pineapple to the octopus that everyone raves about, not to mention the onion-topped hake with wrinkled potatoes that's simply delicious. Prices are more than fair, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it the perfect spot for a hearty breakfast before work or an unhurried lunch. Open Monday through Friday from 7:30 in the morning until six in the evening, it's become a daily refuge for those seeking real cooking and friendly service in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
