Tenerife: Vegan and vegetarian cafes and restaurants

The Canary Island of Tenerife has a lot to offer – beautiful nature parks with volcanic and lunar landscapes, a variety of plants, cute little towns full of history, lots of sunshine and mild temperatures all year round, which is why it is called the “Island of Eternal Spring”.

For all food lovers looking for tasty and delicious vegan and vegetarian food, here is a list of my favourite places on this beautiful island.

Restaurante La Hierbita is located in an old traditional building in a pedestrian area with many restaurants and bars nearby.

My favourite is the berenjenas a la miel – don’t miss them. Very popular, lively place – make sure you book.

BuenaVida Vegan is an excellent café and restaurant and a must for anyone looking for vegan food in Costa Adeje. The restaurant is situated in a shopping centre with the option to sit inside or in the patio – so it is very quiet. Fresh, homemade food with regularly changing lunch dishes and evening meals. Many classic Italian and Spanish dishes adapted for a vegan diet. Book a table as the restaurant is very popular.
