Apart from the nice service the home made bread tastes with the dip and the Pardon Peppers- the fried green peppers (I hope I wrote it right)has also left a great impression!

I came here at the recommendation of a local, and it definitely did not disappoint. I ordered an appetizer, the grilled cheese and the sea bass entrée. The grilled cheese is not what you expect at all, it was three very large pieces of cheese that had been grilled with sauce on it and it was absolutely unique and delicious. For the entrée I got the Seabass which came with coleslaw, the coleslaw had pieces of pineapple in it which gives a very tropical island fresh taste. The Seabass was grilled and not overcooked. The entrée also came with a basket of salted baked potatoes. Chimichiro and the chilichiro sauce were amazing, I poured that stuff all over on the baked potatoes., Which already had a pretty light salt flavor to them. After the meal, I got a shot of complementary sweet rum which was so absolutely delicious and so smooth going down, I could feel it within a couple of seconds. Followed by siesta time! Overall opiate nice restaurant, I would definitely come here again for the food.

It was a very special evening for my wife and I, so I reserved the upper terrace table (see…read morepicture) at 'El Regulo'. It ended up being a very special evening. Here are the highlights: We had earlier reservations, but were late. No problem. The staff there were very friendly, and they saved our spot (just let them know via phone that you're still coming). The ambiance of this place is great! (5 star) It is an old house that was converted into a restaurant, and the central plaza that connected all of the rooms has been converted into the central dining area. They have hung ferns and other plants all over the place. The menu was presented in several languages, so ordering was easy. Our waiter was friendly, although he was very busy taking care of his guests (the waiter to guest ratio is very high on the island). We ordered the soup made exclusively from vegetables grown from the Canary Islands, and the mixed seafood grill for two. The soup was delicious, and the seafood grill was wonderful, although all of the seafood came in the shell (we weren't expecting that - our weakness, not the restaurant's). The grill had lobster, large jumbo prawns, clams, and muscles. It was delicious, and the had tartar and salsa to compliment the food (not that it was needed). My wife had a small bottle of Viña Esmeralda 2011, and I had a small bottle of Monje, a red Rioja from the Canaries. For dessert, my wife had a mango parfait, and I had the white and dark chocolate mousse (see pictures). To top it off, we had coffee and watched the other diners below us (amazing how many speak German). I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone staying in Puerto de la Cruz. Plan ahead and make reservations though, because this place is very popular.

As a recomended Michelin one spoon and fork restaurant with describsion spimple I was a bit…read moreconfused. Anyway Michelin recomendation are allways a good recomendation with a few exeptions like cruise ships. We came to early for lunsh and had to wait in the street. Right across you can get your feet and hands done even by fish. Right on time they opened without to much friendliness, but still professional. The entrance has a maritime theme with bad lightning. I was first a bit supprised with two a bit dirty aquaria and without fish and shellfish. Next we came to a the head waiters desk and overlooked a great patio. The building are two floors with chambree separe and rooms enough to have big groups. The toilets where fresh and really nice. But the most charming where the turtle in a fountain in the middle of the patio, wow what a charm. We where seated in less comfy chairs, to steepand table to smal for four just enough for two. So building and interior is a six, draw for fish tanks, lighting on fish tanks and uncomfy chairs. I would say i five star interior and toilets. 25% value This would be my first touch with high end Tenerife service. The first impression was bussy and not to warm. This followed us troughout, they seemed a bit stressed. And english was not fluent to say it in a gentle way. But when thats said, pro dressed, pro acting and some charming moments. A litle off pairing winw and brew with food. Dirty plates where not remowed until late. And they want away with my VISA for a long time, and answered with bad excuses why when I asked, twice. Its hard to get good score without great first impression, without good english, slow removal of empty plates and a hidden Visa card. More or less than I expect. I say less, but the profesiality movet them up from two to three. 25% value. We ordered rabit and todays catch. I got to choose the size of the fish. Both taste like exellent homemade cooking. Presentation was traditional, and not much creativity. We asked what beer and wine they would pair and they dominated the rabit and fish. But alone very tasy local wine and brew. Fish came opend and not a filet, rabit in a great sause. Both plates lacked final touch og love and colour. I cant really rember the tastes so well four days later so it didnt make a big impression. Michelin was right simple cooking but well worth a going. Cooking a strong four = 4,5. 50% value They had a Bib gourmad i 2013 not anymore, why? Sum it up 2 x dinner, 2 x beer, 1/2 bottle red wine local, 2 x coffe and 1 x botle water = 47,29 = Good Value. And a turtle that just was a charm. 5 Euro tip where greatly appretiated. With better service and bit more creativ twist this is a five star place. Maybe that's why they are not Bib anymore?
