Influencers Confirm the Hype Around Tenerife’s Mesón del Norte
Tenerife is home to restaurants with excellent reviews that stand out for both their quality and service. More specifically, in Buenavista del Norte, there is one establishment that wins over the palates of all its customers thanks to its gastronomic offering. The food content creators @guachinchesmodernos recently visited Mesón del Norte and did not hesitate to share the experience with their followers. “It seems incredible, but we’ve been recommending this place for years and hadn’t been ourselves. The fame it has, which we can now confirm, has been earned through years of hard work,” they stated.
A Pilgrimage for Authentic Canarian Flavours
The TikTokers travelled many miles to try the place that had been recommended to them on numerous occasions, finally deciding to visit and sample its various dishes. To start, they tried the goat’s cheese croquettes with pumpkin marmalade. The gofio escaldado (a traditional Canarian toasted flour dish) surprised them because “there are very few places in Tenerife that present the dish like this; in Gran Canaria you see it a lot.” They highlighted the onion provided to use as a spoon and the generous amount of meat pieces in the dish.
Star Dishes and Sweet Finales
Next was the sweet potato montadito with saffron mojo sauce, where they praised the flavour of the mojo. “If they had this mojo to take away, I’d order a jar,” commented Joana. The grilled meats are the star attraction of the mesón. The Galician blonde beef sirloin and the T-Bone steak are two of the most recommended dishes, both served with a hot stone so each customer can finish cooking the meat to their liking at the table. Both plates also come with a side garnish.
The meal concluded with a satisfying finale of millefeuille with chocolate, crème catalana, and bienmesabe (a traditional Canarian almond dessert). “It’s worth every kilometre we’ve driven to get here,” assured the content creators.
