Do you want to enjoy your holiday here? Then take a look at this article! Here, we are going to name some of the best restaurants in La Matanza de Acentejo, so that you can savour the local cuisine.
Asador Victoria in La Matanza de Acentejo
The Asador Victoria in La Matanza de Acentejo goes hand in hand with the town’s history. It is the old Guachinche Julián, formerly located in Santa Úrsula. Now, having undergone a restoration years ago, it has evolved into this incredible establishment, where tradition and innovation are combined.
The décor and interior design give us an idea that we are in an establishment which is on another level. Wooden walls, good lighting and great cleanliness is the first thing we see on entering.
In addition, it boasts a terrace with incredible views of northern Tenerife. An ideal place for diners to enjoy the island’s dishes and good weather.
The typical guachinche (typical Canary Islands establishment) dishes stand out on its menu. However, when ordering, it is important to know that the portions are quite plentiful.
Among the starters, we find ropa vieja (literally, “old clothes”, a pulled meat stew), huevos rotos (fried potatoes with eggs) or escaldón (fish or meat stew with gofio meal). The mains section is made up of typical fish dishes of the island. Still, as it is a grill, meat is the main focus, with up to 11 varieties, among which we can highlight the ribeye steak and the secreto de cerdo (pork shoulder). On occasional days they make the guiso de piñas con costillas (corn cobs with ribs stew), which is very traditional on the island.
La Bola de Jorge Bosch in La Matanza de Acentejo
One of the most renowned chefs on the islands has made the move to take on La Bola de Jorge Bosch in La Matanza de Acentejo. In this establishment, he has evolved to continue treating the local Canarian products, from El Hierro to Fuerteventura, with supreme mastery.
Bosch reinterprets Canarian cuisine, innovates in flavours and adds tropical touches. His offer ranges from a purée of the classical watercress pottage with vegetable reduction, to the inclusion of fruits such as mango, dragon fruit or passion fruit. Make sure you try the potato and millet trout or the bigeye tartars (bluefin tuna), a dish that will delight the most demanding palates.
Don’t leave without having an after-dinner drink on its terrace, which has a chill-out zone.
