Tenerife restaurants are a variety of culinary delights. On one hand, you have the typical Canarian food choices (Canarian Potatoes with ‘Mojo Picón (pronounced Mo Ho)’ sauce, for example) - then at the other end of the spectrum, you have McDonalds, Burger King and the other fast food chains.

Website: http://www.the-outsideinn.com (click on the link on the left saying ‘Beeches Brook Menu’).
Location: Puerto Santiago, opposite the Hotel Barcelo, and above The Outside Inn. If you know where Tamaimo Tropical is, then you’re in the right place.
Opening Times: From 7pm weekdays, all day weekends.

Terming itself as a ‘British Sports Bar’, from the outside it is quite well hidden. Once you notice the menu on the wall though (walk past Route 66 and the walkway up to Francy’s Bar), you will see a smallish sign that directs you to walk ‘up the ramp and round to the right’. Follow these instructions and you’ll reach the bar.

We were very pleasantly surprised!

They have a massive menu for such a small bar, and the food is absolutely gorgeous. I have rarely eaten in many other ‘British’ bars that can match this one for the freshness of food and the taste too.

I had some Shami Kebabs, followed by a Turkey, Stuffing and Cranberry Panini. My wife had Onion Bhajis followed by a Garlic Butter, Cheese and Tomato Panini.

We were both knocked out by how nice the food itself was. We would definitely visit here again.

The bar itself has several televisions, including a large on in the middle, an outside area, and shows all major sporting events. If there is no one watching any of the events in the bar, they are more than willing to switch over to what you would like to watch (as an example, my wife wanted to watch Big Brother - they switched it straight over for us!).

I know, I know, this isn’t technically a restaurant, but it’s still a great place to have a drink at, and is right next door to Bianco’s.

Ambar, in Plaza Del Duque, is a relatively new bar. It’s right nextdoor to the new Bianco’s, and can be described as a ‘chillout’ bar.

The staff are friendly and attentive, and there is something to drink for everyone. Read the rest of this entry »

We’ve been to the Bianco’s in Plaza Del Duque twice - and both times it was fantastic.

The service was brilliant, and the food tastes better (if thats possible) than the one in Safari Centre - although that isn’t to say the food in the one in CC Safari is bad, by any means. Read the rest of this entry »

I visited this restaurant a few weeks ago, whilst some relatives were here on holiday. We were out shopping and generally sightseeing, and decided to stop somewhere for lunch, and chose this restaurant based solely on it’s looks.

As said elsewhere in this blog, we visit the Little Italy in Los Gigantes on a regular basis, but we know from visiting other restuarants bearing the Little Italy name that experience differs between restaurants. Read the rest of this entry »

Little Italy is a well known chain here in Tenerife. However, the standard of food and service differs from each individual restaurant within the chain.

I visit the one in Los Gigantes a lot, for the simple fact that the service and the food is delightful every single time. Read the rest of this entry »

I visited this charming restaurant on Thursday night, for a birthday party for one of my wife’s work colleagues.

We had dined here once before, about a year ago, but this time the whole of the top terrace had been rented for a barbecue meal. Read the rest of this entry »

We visited this restaurant for a night out for a friends birthday a couple of weeks back.

I’d never been here before, the main reason being that I viewed it as being what I call ‘pretentious’. I mean exepnsive food, and even more expensive drinks, and very little of either.

I was pleasantly suprised! Read the rest of this entry »
