El Sauzal
What makes Terrazas del Sauzal special isn't just the food or the brunch, although both are quite popular in northern Tenerife. What truly sets this place apart is the sense of tranquility that arises when you sit and take in the views. Here, the landscape is the absolute star.
The restaurant is built on several terraces and sloping gardens, completely open to the island's north coast. From practically any corner, you can see the Atlantic Ocean, the coastal valley, and Mount Teide rising in the distance on a clear day. And that completely transforms the atmosphere. Many people come simply to enjoy a drink in peace, watch the sunset, and unwind for hours without feeling rushed.
Unlike other more urban rooftops or modern terraces, the setting here has a much more natural and relaxed feel. There's vegetation, well-maintained gardens, and different levels of terraces that ensure the place never feels overly enclosed or crowded. Even when things are busy, it maintains that peaceful feeling of being a high vantage point overlooking northern Tenerife.
Cocktails play a significant role in the experience. Many people come specifically for a drink at sunset or after lunch, taking advantage of the chill-out terrace and the relaxed atmosphere that typically prevails in the late afternoon and evening. The music is usually subtle but not intrusive, which helps maintain a comfortable space for conversation or simply sitting and gazing at the horizon.
Brunch has also become another popular spot, especially on weekends, but even then, the main attraction remains the setting. It's not so much about coming for a heavy meal, but rather spending several hours enjoying the ambiance.
Furthermore, there's something many people mention after visiting: it's hard to leave your table. Between the views, the northern climate, and the feeling of being suspended over the ocean, time seems to slow down here. And that's probably the real reason so many people return.
