Tesegre

Visiting Restaurante Tesegre is like stepping into a corner of Tenerife's natural beauty and enjoying authentic cuisine. The restaurant is located in Las Carboneras, a hamlet in the Anaga massif where trails and traditional orchards still dictate the rhythm of life. Upon arrival, you're greeted by a small, welcoming dining room with simple wooden tables and a friendly neighborhood atmosphere.

The cuisine is deeply rooted in the surroundings: they use vegetables from their own garden, prepare traditional stews, and offer dishes like escaldón de gofio (a traditional Canarian dish made with gofio flour), goat meat, and cod with local potatoes. These dishes are often described by visitors as "the authentic taste of Anaga." Furthermore, the desserts—such as sweet potato fritters and a well-made barraquito (a type of coffee drink)—have become part of the restaurant's appeal.

The service is friendly, warm, unhurried, and offers engaging explanations of the dishes if you ask. Due to its somewhat isolated location (and the limited space), it's advisable to make a reservation or arrive early. Many of the diners are hikers who come down to the village for lunch after walking the Anaga trails.

What makes Tesegre special is its connection to tradition: it doesn't aim to be an overly touristy restaurant, but rather to offer simple dishes, good ingredients, and honest service in a beautiful rural setting. You end up eating well, feeling like you're part of the area, with that feeling of "this is Anaga" in both the food and the atmosphere.

You'll love it if you appreciate authentic Canarian cuisine, without frills, and if your plan includes enjoying nature and tranquility before or after your meal.
