Must-try dishes

masto khiar
If you're ever curious to try something beyond the usual Mediterranean, Chinese, or Italian cuisine, this small restaurant in the heart of Puerto de la Cruz is a direct gateway to Iranian gastronomy. The moment you step inside, the atmosphere shifts: soft music, spicy aromas, and a menu centered around ingredients characteristic of Persian cuisine, such as saffron, aromatic herbs, spiced yogurts, and nuts.
What's most striking here is how each dish strives for that typical balance of this cuisine: intense yet harmonious flavors, combinations of fresh herbs, pomegranate, nuts, or yogurt that contrast with aromatic meats or rice dishes. You can start with appetizers like hummus or masto khiar—a refreshing blend of yogurt with cucumber and mint—which immediately introduces you to the style of Iranian cooking.
One of the details that makes this place special is that many dishes follow traditional recipes and are served with freshly baked Persian bread. They also feature dishes less familiar outside the Middle East, such as stews with legumes or specialties from northern Iran served with saffron-infused basmati rice.
The atmosphere is usually quite welcoming. Sometimes the kitchen staff participates in the service or explains the dishes if you're unfamiliar with this cuisine, which is very helpful when encountering new flavors. This combination of personal service and authentic food is what has earned the restaurant a loyal clientele among those seeking something different in the city.
For me, the appeal of this place isn't just the excellent food, but discovering a cuisine that blends tradition, spices, and ancient culture. If you enjoy traveling through food or trying dishes you don't see every day, this meal can become a truly memorable experience.

Where to eat
Don Trino

Among vegetable gardens, animals, and a well-maintained farm, you can enjoy homemade Canarian cuisine prepared with care. It's a place where you eat well, chat at your leisure, and the experience feels more like visiting home than going to a restaurant.
What to see

It's a place closely linked to the primary sector of northern Tenerife, where the authentic flavor of Canarian cheese takes center stage.
