Taberna Puerto Libre — Local services in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

This restaurant is so good that we came here TWICE. The second chef always welcome us with a big smile and gave us very good recommendations. Thanks to her we tried the seafood style haricot beans and it was sooooooo delicious we finished literally everything(see second picture). It’s a pity that there’s not many photos of this dish cuz it’s so special and savory! Some may say it’s a bit spicy(not that spicy for me who’s Chinese nor for my husband who’s French) but it is just that touch of spice that light up the whole dish! So don’t be afraid and go try it. We are very happy and grateful having find out this hidden gem and it’s absolutely our favorite restaurant during our whole vacation in Tenerife. We came here again today before leaving the island and hope the talent of the chefs would be recognized by more people cuz they really deserve it 👏👏👏

P. S. Don’t forget to make reservations in advance cuz it’s quite popular in this...

This place is off the busy roads and deserves way...

EN This place is amazing! They gave us good recommendations on food and it's obvious that they're passionate and very confident with their food (and they should be!) we ordered three starters and one main dish. EVERYTHING was delicious! The garlic shrimp were very tender, the sauces of clams were amazing and the octopus was just fantastic! You just have to try their octopus if you come here. During our lunch the server would give us advice on how to enjoy the most the dishes and she's simply delightful 🙂 Muchas gracias!!!
