Arriving at Restaurante Benzonia is part of the experience. Located in a secluded area of Tegueste, surrounded by mountains and next to a eucalyptus forest, the restaurant occupies a traditional Canarian farmhouse, isolated and peaceful, far from the noise and bustle. What might seem like a drawback is, in fact, one of its greatest attractions: you come here specifically to enjoy yourself.
The interior is divided into rooms, creating an intimate and serene atmosphere. The decor is one of its greatest strengths: carefully curated, welcoming, and full of details with personality. The antique piano with its lid open stands out, lending an almost nostalgic air and an atmosphere that invites you to linger longer than planned.
The natural surroundings are a perfect complement. From the house, you can breathe in tranquility, with beautiful views and a feeling of complete disconnection. Furthermore, it has ample parking, which makes visiting easy despite its remote location.
The service is friendly, polite, and highly professional. The waiters are attentive, friendly, and efficient, maintaining a brisk pace without feeling rushed. This balance makes both family meals and romantic dinners particularly successful here.
The culinary offerings are based on traditional Canarian cuisine with a creative touch, beautifully presented and full of flavour. It avoids unnecessary embellishments, instead reinterpreting classic dishes with its own unique personality.
Benzonia is one of those places that is easily remembered: for its location, its ambiance, and the feeling of having discovered something special. A restaurant where the remoteness is an added bonus, the surroundings are captivating, and the experience undoubtedly invites you to return.

What to see

Activities
Albergue Comarcal Valle Colino
The Valle Colino Regional Shelter in La Laguna is Tenerife's main shelter for abandoned animals. In addition to caring for and sheltering dogs and cats, it offers the opportunity to volunteer in its daily work: walking animals, helping with cleaning them, or assisting with adoption campaigns. A caring and emotionally rewarding experience for animal lovers.
Beaches
Mesa del Mar
Visiting Mesa del Mar is like stepping into a tranquil corner where northern Tenerife feels most authentic. Upon arrival, you'll find a small coastal village nestled between cliffs, natural pools, and the open sea. Here, everything invites you to slow down: walk along the water's edge, sit and gaze at the Atlantic, and enjoy a local atmosphere, unhurried and unpretentious.
Nightlife
Shopping
Mercadillo del Agricultor Tacoronte
If you come to this town and crave authentic local flavors, the Tacoronte Farmers' Market is my go-to spot. It's a traditional farmers' market where the producers themselves sell fruits, vegetables, cheeses, honey, breads, and family wines directly from their farms to you—no middlemen—all fresh and in season. The atmosphere is lively and genuine, perfect for picking up products that truly make a difference in taste.
Sports
BMX Parque la Vega
The BMX circuit at Parque de La Vega in La Laguna is one of the most active spaces for freestyle enthusiasts in northern Tenerife. Surrounded by greenery and a youthful atmosphere, it offers a course with ramps, jumps, and modules ideal for practicing technique and style. It's a regular meeting point for local riders who appreciate its relaxed, community-oriented atmosphere, open to all levels.
Trekking
El Tomadero
A circular route in Anaga Rural Park connecting Punta del Hidalgo with El Tomadero, ascending via a channel carved into the rock and descending through the ravine. It's approximately 6 km with little elevation gain, but includes technical and exposed sections that increase the difficulty. The channel is in very good condition and clean, although it can be quite vertigo-inducing in some places. The descent through the ravine is rocky and uncomfortable. A short but demanding route, not recommended for people with vertigo.
