A holiday to Tenerife’s Playa de las Americas is jam-packed with daytime activities and nighttime adventures. Make sure you’re prepared for all the drama and fuel up at some of the best restaurants the town has to offer. For those who want to sample the local cuisine, the array of delicacies available at Canarian restaurants won’t disappoint. If you’re looking for something a bit more exotic and further afield, there’s a fantastic range of international food stops. Whatever your taste buds are tingling for, the busy streets of Playa de las Americas are sure to offer it. Make sure you bring your stretchiest attire if you’re hoping to try a bit of everything!

Canarian Restaurants in Playa de las Americas

For the best Canarian restaurants in Playa de las Americas head to the harbour front. Here is where they serve the freshest fish caught from the sea that very same morning. El Faro is one of the finest in this stretch and is located on a second storey terrace overlooking the sea. Simply choose your favourite meat or fish and watch the interesting and delicate ways they prepare it. Wash it down with some beautiful Canarian wine and indulge in a real treat.

For those on holiday to Playa de las Americas on a slightly tighter budget, Bar Restaurante Tenerife is a cheaper alternative if you want to try some of the classic dishes of the region. Far more family-orientated and set to deliver good quality food at a good price, Bar Restaurante Tenerife is a venue that you can stay in all night. Another top alternative, although not strictly Canarian, Meson Mojo Picon offers dishes that represent all corners of the Spanish mainland. Sit outside on the patio and watch the world go by with rustic food that will leave you more than happy.

International Restaurants in Playa de las Americas

You can’t always eat the same thing every night and for some the local cuisine isn’t what the taste buds are craving. Fear not, in Playa de las Americas there is a restaurant to represent every country you can think of. Even in the Canary Islands sometimes nothing will do except a freshly prepared pizza. At Garibaldi these are kneaded and rolled ready for the occasion alongside an array of pasta and meat dishes. Take a seat alongside the beautiful courtyard fountain and enjoy a romantic meal away from the crowds.

At Mamma Rosa you can choose between the slightly unusual combination of Mexican and Italian food. Needless to say it works and the resulting fajitas and tagliatelle arrive on plates that could feed the five hundred. You get fantastic value and quality here and it is a top restaurant if you’re wanting something different. A couple of other fantastic suggestions for international food are, Oriental Garden which serves up a great combination of Asian cuisine while Bombay Blue does some of the best curries in town, perfect for a curry night after a long day in the sun!

If you’re looking for a slightly unusual dining experience, look no further than La Piramide. A slight walk from the main centre, the restaurant is referred to as ‘dinner theatre’ and once you’re inside the pyramid-shaped building you can enjoy fine dining whilst being entertained by a classical concert or opera! A great example to show that any tastes and budgets can be satisfied on holiday in Playa de las Americas, but don’t forget the great location of the resort means it’s easy to pop along the coast to sample the fine cuisine in Los Crisitianos and the plush resort of Costa Adeje.
