What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Restaurante Guannabí is praised for its delicious traditional dishes, particularly the cured ham croquettes and unique octopus soup. The peaceful, car-free environment and attentive staff add to the positive dining experience. However, some guests have noted that the service can be slow, and there are occasional issues with menu item availability, with more expensive options often being the only ones left.
"Great restaurant for every occasion from dinner dates to family meals. The staff was very nice and accommodating, the kitchen looked clean and so did the bathroom. Although it was busy we never had empty plates on the table for more than a few minutes and the service was done in great time!
The food was nice and plated with taste.
The atmosphere and decorations were lovely!"

"Food is very delicious. Portions are good. Service is on a slower side although all waiters are very nice and attentive. We keep on coming back, guannabi is one of our favorite restaurants in Santa Cruz. Sorry I was only able to get a picture of the bread, everything else was so delicious I completely forgot to take pictures 🙂"

"Highly recommended, I'll be back for sure. The quality of the food is noticeable, the croquettes tasted great and our favourite plate of food, the meat. Dessert was a delicious cheesecake.
We ordered following the recommendations of the staff, who were always very helpful and attentive.
The place is beautiful and very good value for money."

The best tapas in Tenerife
If traditional isn’t really your style, then you should try fusion tapas bar, Guannabí. Located in a beautiful Canarian building, the surroundings may be traditional, but the menu isn’t, blending Spanish favourites with Peruvian, Mexican and Asian influence. Whether you’ve over-indulged in traditional tapas or are looking to experience something totally unique, Guannabí is well worth a try.
