Bestia Marina — Restaurant in Garachico

Absolutely brilliant lunch today!

Very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating staff. Service was impeccable during the whole lunch with perfect timing between the four dishes we had described below.

• Lightly barbecued black scallops (zamburiñas) with a lovely asparagus vichyssoise, green mojo and parmesan. Just a lovely elegant combination of flavors. Sadly that the scallops wasn't cut from their shells making them quite difficult to eat. The guests shouldn't be carving the scallops at the table but should have been done in the kitchen. Flavor wise 5/5.

• Tuna tartar with kimchi consommé. Surprisingly fresh dish with the sweet melon against the slightly salty consommé and the tender tuna. The sobrasada added nice contrast to the dish. 5/5

• Barbecued octopus, sautéed cabbage with nameko mushrooms. It was a lovely tender octopus with a nice sauce and some kind of sweet potato puré. Good dish but unfortunately lacked the expected slightly crispy outside texture from the barbecue wich made the dish quite mushy. Lovely side dish of cabbage. 3.5/5

• Crème brûlée, corn pops, cannoli with mascarpone. Really great flavor, not too sweet and the corn pops plus the cannoli added nice texture contrast to the dish. Bear in mind it was very liquid so calling it crème brûlée is a bit misleading to be honest as it's more a creamy dessert soup and should be advertised as that. Not a fan of the deep bowl it came in either, would have gained more in a more open plate to make it easier to eat. Despite that it was beautiful in flavor and we really enjoyed it. 4/5

Nice warm bread with a beautiful slightly spicy dried tomato anchovy sobrasada.

Excellent wine list with plenty of local wines to choose from at very honest prices. Great choice of wines by the glass was another plus. 5/5

Our waiter kindly informed us about the 2-3 dishes they had off the menu and told us about the 2-3 that wasn't available today.

Nice modern and clean decoration with open kitchen, fish on display and warm atmosphere. Spotlessly clean toilets. Pet friendly 👍🏼

We spent roughly 100€ for the two of us with three glasses of wine, water and coffee wich is very good value considering the quality and great service.

Today, we had the pleasure of dining at Bestia Marina in Garachico, a restaurant that features our exotic Shiitake and Nameko mushrooms in their cuisine. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed—not only us but our dog as well. The unique decor, with deep ocean hues, wooden accents, and soft background music, created an atmosphere that made us feel special from the start. The menu offered so many enticing options that it was hard to choose, so we decided to focus on dishes that included our mushrooms. Right from the beginning, Chef Omar delighted our taste buds with a sensational smoked Nameko salad, paired with arugula and parmesan. Next, we enjoyed tuna sashimi with Shiitake mushrooms. The presentation, texture, and flavor of this dish exceeded our expectations. Another highlight was the Octopus with Nameko mushrooms. Tender and slightly sweet, it had a unique texture that paired beautifully with the Nameko mushrooms and accompanying salad. Each dish was exquisitely presented, and the friendly staff provided details about the ingredients and preparation. We are incredibly grateful for this wonderful culinary experience. Bestia Marina is a must-visit for any food enthusiast, and we highly recommend it to...

Probably the best seafood spot on Tenerife 💯🤝🏻

I’ve been here four times over the past few weeks, and every visit has been an absolute highlight. Super fresh seafood, with a daily selection of fresh fish on display — you can really taste the quality. 🐟✨

The interior is modern and sleek with a darker, elegant vibe that adds to the overall experience. 🖤🍷

Service is top-notch: professional, friendly, and fluent in English, which makes the whole thing really smooth. 🙌🏼🗣️

The menu offers some staples, but they’re constantly mixing things up with new and exciting dishes. There’s also a great selection of local wines — I’d highly recommend trying them by the glass and pairing them with different courses. 🍽️🍷🧑‍🍳

It’s right in the heart of the beautiful fishing town of Garachico, which is well worth a stroll before or after your meal — especially along the bay and through the charming old town. 🌊🏘️🙌🏻

If you’re into fish or seafood, this place is a must. If you’re vegetarian or not into seafood, it might be a bit tricky — but then again, this probably isn’t the spot for you...
