Flavours of the Canary Islands: the typical dishes you must try during your stay in Las Casas Tenerife
Discovering the Canaries is much more than enjoying the sun and the beach. It's immersing yourself in a vibrant culture, unique landscapes, and a cuisine that surprises with its flavour and tradition. At Las Casas Tenerife, we not only offer you a comfortable and charming holiday accommodation, but we also bring you closer to the most authentic experiences of the island. Among them, of course, its traditional cuisine.
Here, we present a selection of the typical dishes you should try during your stay:
Wrinkled potatoes with mojo
A simple and local delight: potatoes boiled with sea salt, accompanied by the famous red or green mojo. They are the perfect accompaniment for any meal or even as an appetizer on your terrace with views of the Teide.
Gofio
A nutritional gem of Guanche origin that you will find in breakfasts, escaldón, or even desserts. Ideal to try it as the locals do in the markets and guachinches near your holiday home.
Canarian sancocho
Salted fish, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and mojo: the flavour of the sea in its purest form. Many restaurants near our houses in the south of Tenerife offer it on weekends.
Ropa vieja
A comforting stew made with meat, chickpeas, vegetables, and fried potatoes. Perfect after a day of hiking in Anaga or the Teide National Park.
Rabbit in salmorejo
A very typical recipe from Tenerife that combines flavour and tradition. Ask for this dish in the local guachinches recommended by our hosts.
Canarian cheeses
Try the majorero cheese or the palmero, many of which are internationally awarded. Our recommendation: order them on a platter with a local red wine on a local terrace.
Traditional desserts
Finish any meal with a bienmesabe or a herreña quesadilla. If you accompany it with a Canarian cortado coffee, you'll have the perfect combination.
