Casa Jeremías: A Culinary Highlight in La Laguna
Tenerife boasts a wealth of establishments serving everything from traditional Canarian cuisine to more innovative options. Among them, Casa Jeremías in La Laguna has earned a stellar reputation for its speciality: jareas. The popular content creators behind @guachinchesmodernos recently visited and were quick to share and recommend the experience to their followers.
The Famous Jarea: A Standout Dish
“Without a doubt, when you mention jareas, there are two places that are the most talked about. We can now say we’ve tried both, and this time it was Casa Jeremías’ turn, which we had pending,” they commented. The jarea, a whole grilled fish, is a signature dish that never fails to impress customers. During their visit, the bloggers confirmed it as one of the restaurant’s biggest draws: “This is one of the most famous places in Tenerife to eat jarea.”
The fish is served with the classic Canarian accompaniments: wrinkled potatoes, sweet potato, gofio (toasted grain flour), red onion, and tomato. The creators highlighted one detail that, for Joana, makes all the difference: “This place is a plus for me because they use ‘vinagre macho’.” They praised the dish for its flavour and how easy it is to eat, as it has practically no bones.
Surprising Strengths: Meat and Dessert
Although the visit focused on the jarea, they also sampled the chicken soup and a tomato and avocado salad. However, another of the establishment’s strong points is its meat. “Their speciality is the jarea, but watch out for the quality of their meat—we weren’t expecting it to be so good,” they affirmed.
Of the meats tried, the Iberian ‘secreto’ (a specific cut of pork) was described as “like butter,” highlighting its texture and juiciness. They also mentioned the charcoal-grilled roast rabbit, which the owner showcases in their video. To finish, they tried the ‘tarta de la abuela’ (grandmother’s cake) because the owner “didn’t want us to leave without trying his little cake.”
