About
A classic village restaurant in La Esperanza, in the wooded uplands above La Laguna, that has been going since 1971. It's known for honest grilled meat and a relaxed local atmosphere. Don't expect luxury – expect the kind of authentic lunch local families treat themselves to.
Our tip
Stop here on the way back from Teide along the TF-24 over the Cumbre Dorsal ridge – the pine forests around La Esperanza are among the most beautiful stretches of the route.
What to order
Grilled meat (carne a la brasa) – the place has been known for it since 1971.
