Tito’s Bodeguita

Top choice in Puerto de la Cruz


Despite the mildly off-putting location right off a busy roundabout a few kilometres south of the town centre, the patios, flower-filled gardens and atmospheric interior of this 18th-century country mansion, restaurant and winery are a delight. The portions are huge and best for sharing, with dishes based on traditional Canarian cuisine with an innovative twist. It's hugely popular so book ahead.

There's even an attached hermitage. To get here take the TF-312 towards Arenas, merging onto the TF-31 towards the Autopista Norte, then onto the TF-5; Tito's is located just beyond exit 35. Alternatively hop in a taxi (approximately €7 from the town centre).
