Which restaurants in Los Gigantes and Puerto de Santiago does Guía Repsol recommend?

Pejeverde sits right on the marina, at Calle Poblado Marinero 9 in the Los Gigantes yacht harbour. Guía Repsol, a Spanish restaurant and travel guide, lists it as “Recomendado”, and it holds no Sol or Solete, the guide's higher awards.

Pejeverde serves no meat, only seafood and fish, mostly tuna. According to Guía Repsol, the tuna is caught within sight of the terrace.

The Repsol page gives 35 to 60 euros per person. It publishes no opening days but links to a booking function.

The Repsol page on Santiago del Teide says the restaurant offers a tasting menu called “Menú de Acantilado”, with head chef Samuel Morales and tuna from the owner's boat. Whether the menu is on offer now, and what it costs, is not confirmed.

Casa Pancho, at Avenida Marítima 26 in Puerto de Santiago, costs under 35 euros per person according to Guía Repsol, which also rates it “Recomendado”. It serves Canarian home cooking and fish.

The place began as a beach kiosk and is known for fresh fish daily and wines from local grape varieties. Guía Repsol calls it a “sanctuary of the aperitif” in Santiago del Teide.

No opening days for Casa Pancho were found. Anyone planning dinner there should ask the restaurant beforehand.

The Macaronesia bakery (Avenida Quinto Centenario 58, local 45) is a breakfast spot, not a restaurant. It serves gluten-free pastries and the Canarian milky coffee “leche-leche”.

What does the restaurant Aqua in Los Gigantes cost and when is it open?

By its own account, the restaurant Aqua cooks Atlantic cuisine with Canarian roots. It sits in the Royal Sun Resort hotel, at Calle Geranios 16 in Los Gigantes.

Aqua opens Tuesday to Saturday from 18:30 to 22:00. It is closed on Sunday and Monday.

According to the restaurant's website, the six-course “Menú Esencia” costs 65 euros, and the wine pairing costs 45 euros. Bread adds 3 euros.

On the à la carte list, starters cost about 15 to 23 euros and fish dishes 25 to 28 euros. Meat dishes cost 28 to 33 euros.

The website carries no date. An edition of Canarias-Lovers from 20 April 2026 gave 75 euros for the six-course menu.

The range there was 50 to 75 euros per person. Which price applies in 2026 is unclear, so guests should ask for the current price when booking.

Aqua opens only in the evening and only five days a week, so booking makes sense, though the website does not say it is required. You can book online or by phone on +34 608 802 638 or +34 922 862 802.

Which other places in Los Gigantes and Puerto de Santiago does a guidebook name?

The guide Canarias-Lovers, a private blog with affiliate links, lists several places in its edition of 20 April 2026. Prices are per person without drinks and may be out of date.

The blog mostly gives no street addresses or opening days. These places are therefore pointers, not confirmed recommendations.

Tas-K is the cheapest place to sit in the guide: a tapas bar with a terrace on Calle de Los Guios, near Playa de Los Guios. Canarias-Lovers puts prices at 2 to 15 euros, and the bar can be reached on +34 922 86 23 28.

Rosso Pomod'Oro is an Italian restaurant in a pedestrian lane in central Puerto de Santiago, known for its pizza. The blog gives 10 to 30 euros and the phone number +34 602 50 17 78.

KV Bar Gourmet offers French-inspired fusion cooking at the Puerto de Santiago marina, opposite the Los Gigantes harbour. The blog's authors said they had not eaten there.

The Tea House & Bar in central Los Gigantes is an English tearoom with fewer than 25 seats. Canarias-Lovers gives 10 to 15 euros and the number +34 661 46 83 75.

Other names from the blog are unchecked. They include El Ancla, Charlie's Bistro, Am Eck and El Timón at the Mirador Archipenque.

What does eating out cost in the Canaries in 2026?

The lunchtime set menu (menú del día) costs 13.50 euros on average in the Canaries. Diario de Avisos reported this on 22 October 2026, citing a survey by Hostelería de España and Edenred.

That makes the Canaries the cheapest region in Spain, level with Murcia. The figure was 13 euros in 2025, a rise of about 3.8%.

Across Spain, the price rose by 3.5% according to the same source. The Spanish average is 14.70 euros.

The set menu is dearest in the País Vasco at 16.30 euros. The Balearic Islands follow with 16 euros and Catalonia with 15.70 euros.

Diario de Avisos gives inflation of 4.9% for September 2026 and restaurant prices up by 4.3%. These are national figures, and the article gives none specifically for Tenerife, Los Gigantes or Puerto de Santiago.

For this area, only rough guides can be drawn from them. By the Repsol figures, Casa Pancho costs under 35 euros per person and Pejeverde 35 to 60 euros.

Aqua costs 50 to 75 euros for the menu, depending on the source. For Tas-K, the blog gives 2 to 15 euros.

What should newcomers know about Los Gigantes and the surrounding area?

Los Gigantes grew in the 1960s after British investment, English Wikipedia writes, citing the official website and a book from 2008. Spanish Wikipedia says the name does not yet appear on maps of the 1950s.

The town has a harbour, a black beach and a natural pool. Today it counts as an important business centre in Santiago del Teide.

Puerto de Santiago had about 6,131 residents in 2023, against 4,926 in 2015, according to INE data reproduced by citypopulation.de. A travel website puts the whole area at about 10,000 residents, without a stated method.

Several guidebooks describe the area as British in character and quieter than the south coast. No official source backs this up.

According to Spanish Wikipedia and the official website, the cliffs lie in the Parque Rural de Teno. Buenavista del Norte manages most of them, and Santiago del Teide part.

The Guanches called them “Muralla del Infierno” or “Muralla del Diablo”. According to the official website (2022), Playa de la Arena measures 140 by 40 metres, has black sand and holds the Blue Flag.

Much remains open: there is no official food guide from the council or the tourist office. No opening days were found for Pejeverde and Casa Pancho.

Nothing is available on terrace permits, usual tipping or the IGIC rate (the Canaries' indirect tax) in catering. There is also no confirmed information on Michelin entries in the area.

Before a visit, check the venue's own page or phone, especially for places named only by the blog. Wanderlog lists an address on Calle Tamara as “permanently closed”, but it is unclear whether that is a restaurant in the area.
