Bar La Ta’Berna has become one of the most surprising places to eat in Tenerife. Tucked away in the San Matías neighbourhood of La Laguna, what at first glance looks like your typical local bar leaves no one indifferent, thanks to its generous, well-crafted dishes and prices that are hard to beat.
A local favourite with a loyal following
Content creators @guachinchesmodernos recently paid a visit and showcased the kitchen’s best offerings. The establishment prides itself on fast, friendly service – something many customers are quick to highlight – and boasts an extensive menu dominated by classic Canarian cooking.
Canarian classics from starter to pudding
Starters include almogrote, a cheese board, sweet potato salad (ensaladilla de batata), croquettes, huevos rotos, papas gomerocas, griddled mushrooms and those ever-popular churros de pescado. There are also hearty spoon dishes such as the daily potaje, escaldón and chickpea stew. Seafood lovers will find potas, squid, garlic prawns and marinated cazón, while meat options take in carne fiesta, bichillo and sirloin steak.
One of the house specialities – and among the bar’s best sellers – is the almogrote tortilla. Also not to be missed is the Solomillo La Ta’Berna, served with a creamy cheese and mushroom sauce, tomato jam and a mango coulis.
To accompany a good meal, the bar pours fruity red and white wine from a well-known winery on the island, served straight from the barrel just as in the traditional guachinches of old. To round things off, the menu features homemade puddings such as tarta de la abuela and baked cheesecake, alongside other more classic options.
Christmas menus and special occasions
The establishment also offers budget-friendly set menus for events and celebrations. Looking ahead to the festive season, La Ta’Berna has already unveiled its Christmas menu, designed so customers can enjoy a full, homemade and affordable celebration without compromising on the traditional flavours of Canarian cuisine.
Location and opening hours
Bar La Ta’Berna is at Calle San Olegario 1, in the San Matías neighbourhood, a quiet area within the municipality of La Laguna. The bar is open every day of the week, with generous hours for those wanting lunch, dinner or simply a bite to eat at any time. The average price per person is around €20, making it a purse-friendly option.
Opening hours are Monday to Thursday from 12:30 to 17:00 and again from 20:00 to 23:00. From Friday to Sunday, the kitchen stays open continuously from 12:30 until 23:00, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely weekend meal.
