Must-try dishes
Golden cod
Francesinha
Cheesecake
The Golden Cod is one of those restaurants you don't expect to find, but it ends up making your visit unforgettable. Located opposite the port of Los Gigantes, in a historic building, it's a small, cozy, and uncrowded spot, ideal for a peaceful meal away from the hustle and bustle of other restaurants in the area.
Their concept is clear: Spanish cuisine with a strong Portuguese influence, prepared fresh with quality ingredients. The star dish is the bacalhau à Brás (golden cod), a Portuguese classic that they prepare here with spectacular balance and that many describe as a direct trip to Portugal. Another must-try is the francesinha from Porto, hearty and full of flavor.
But the menu doesn't stop there. The braised beef sandwich (boleto de carne estofada or mechada) is also a highlight, highly recommended by the owners themselves, as are homemade desserts like the cheesecake. To finish, it's practically obligatory to try the barraquito, prepared with care and personality.
Beyond the food, the soul of the place lies in its owners. José in the kitchen and Denis in the dining room create a warm, authentic, and welcoming atmosphere. It's not unusual for them to suggest swapping one dish for another freshly prepared one, or to offer special touches for children and regular customers. Here, there's no ultra-processed food or rushed service: everything is homemade, fresh daily, and prepared by someone who truly enjoys cooking.
The restaurant is simple yet pleasant, with nearby parking for easy access. The menu is varied without being extensive, which reinforces the feeling of careful and well-executed cuisine.
In short, The Golden Cod is a place where you eat well, receive excellent service, and leave wanting to return. A little corner in the port of Los Gigantes where cod reigns supreme and the ambiance makes you feel right at home.

Where to eat
Mesón del Norte
If you're in the Las Portelas area and fancy some authentic Canarian food, Mesón del Norte is a sure bet. Here you'll find traditional dishes, generous portions, and a charming village bar atmosphere. It's a simple, unpretentious place where you can eat well at a good price, ideal for stopping after a day exploring the Masca or Teno area. It's also one of the highest-rated restaurants on the island for meat.
What to see
Mirador de Cherfe
The Cherfe viewpoint, between Santiago del Teide and Masca, is one of those places where the scenery leaves you speechless. From its summit, a breathtaking view unfolds over the Masca ravine, the Teno massif, and, on clear days, the island of La Gomera. It's a must-see if you're exploring northwest Tenerife.
Activities
Avistamiento de Aves Los Gigantes
The Los Gigantes Cliffs are a spectacular place to observe seabirds and birds of prey in Tenerife. From here, you can see species such as the osprey, the falcon, and the raven, which nest on the cliffs. The vertical walls that drop to the sea, the rocky coastal areas, and the proximity to the ocean make it an ideal natural viewpoint for those who love nature, the wind, and open skies.
Beaches
Piscina Natural Acantilados de los Gigantes
The Los Gigantes natural pool is a hidden spot among volcanic rocks, where you can swim with direct views of the imposing cliffs that give the area its name. Protected from the waves, it offers crystal-clear waters and a peaceful atmosphere, ideal for relaxing after a day at the beach or hiking. Just a few meters from the port, it combines natural charm with the convenience of bars and restaurants nearby, all against the spectacular backdrop of the Atlantic.

Via Ferrata Del Risco Blanco
The Risco Blanco via ferrata, in the heart of Guía de Isora, is one of Tenerife's most spectacular. It combines adventure, volcanic landscapes, and open views of Mount Teide and the Atlantic. It's not a route for beginners: it requires good physical fitness and a cool head, but the reward is an altitude experience with breathtaking panoramas and a unique sense of freedom.
Trekking
Charcas de Erjos
The Charcas de Erjos are natural pools hidden in a volcanic setting, surrounded by vegetation and wildlife. From Erjos Square, you can walk along an ancient path to these pools, ideal for birdwatching and photographing in a secluded and peaceful setting. Perfect for a hassle-free family outing.
