Bodega Julián

It’s ok. The plating is quite fancy, but the food is okay - from a food persons standpoint. Looks better than it tastes. I would probably do the grilled chicken, and not the lamb, since the lamb had a paprikash/chorizo flavor to it. A bit boring. The Symphony of Shrimp is taken out of a cookbook from the 80’s. Funish, but quite meh if you’ve tried a lot of fried foods. Patatas bravas is dunked in mojo picante. Pre-boiled then lightly turned in the sauce. Not worth the price. I would order the small if we were 4 or more. Nice service, and placed with a good backdrop of some old quaint houses. Sit outside, no aircon inside.

Really tasty food and warm welcome at Bodega Julián. I had the pulpo a la gallega and the patatas brava and they were simply delicious! I can absolutely recommend this restaurant

Nice restaurant 👍🏻 food was tasty, but 2-person portions were more like 1-person dish. As you can see on the pictures, lamb and pork with French fries are not that big to share for a couple. On the other hand, we were very satisfied with the taste. Also, I recommend tuna salad, as the ingredients were fresh and they used ripe vegetables 🥗 I recommend this restaurant 👍🏻 You can’t smoke on the terrace. Also, I enjoyed the service. The waiters were very attentive and recommended us the dishes ✨

A gem in Puerto de la Cruz This place was our favorite restaurant during our trip. It wasn’t just about the amazing food—it really became one of the highlights of our vacation. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, it genuinely felt like stepping into a family-run business. The location is great too, tucked away in these colorful, charming streets that aren’t packed with tourists, so it has such a relaxed vibe. One of my favorite little details was being able to see the cooks as you go up the stairs. It’s such a nice touch that makes the whole experience feel more authentic and connected

Nice location for a walk. Friendly staff who speaks limited english but still able to have a nice conversation and laugh. Small menu with good choices. The lamb was extremely good and very recommended. We also tried croquettes (tuna and spinach) and squids which were also delicious. Prices in the average.

Small menu. That’s a sign a place is good! Only items they are 10/10 at. One of the best meals had in Tenerife. Lamb is special. So is the cheese. Will come back to try two more items. Very friendly owners who were accommodating with allergies. HIGH RECOMMEND!

Very popular and busy tapas restaurant Share platter, although not much choices, they all fresh and tasty. We had Tuna Belly salad, octupus and pork steak. Their moka espresso cafe one of the best in Tenerife, so we ordered their Polvito Canario dessert to go with the coffee.

We’ve eaten at Julián’s twice during our five days on the island… we love it so much, we’ve booked to come here for our last night too. Julián and his team are a joy. When we arrived the first time, we had no reservation, but he went out of his way to ensure there would be a table for us in 30 minutes. The ambience is great - a mix of local families and tourists, young and old, all made to feel welcome. You can hear yourself speak but still feel the buzz of a busy place. The food is great! Authentic Canarian dishes, some with a twist. The lamb fillet (solomillo de Cordero) is a dream & are the huevos al estampido are not to be missed. For those with a sweet tooth, the Polvito Canario is just magical. It’s intimate, the staff are fun, friendly and helpful… and talented - as the evening got quieter, Julián took out his guitar and treated us to some Spanish music. All in all, just a great place to eat and visit.
