La Pimienta: fresh fish at great prices in La Matanza

Fresh fish, fair prices: a hidden gem in La Matanza

Finding a restaurant that serves quality fresh fish at reasonable prices is not always easy. But in the municipality of La Matanza de Acentejo on Tenerife’s north coast, there is one establishment that has become a must-visit for seafood lovers: Restaurante La Pimienta. This spot offers fresh fish of the day and excellent value for money.

Pick your own fish from the display

One of the most striking features of the restaurant is its working method. Customers can choose the exact piece of fish they want to eat directly from the display counter. They can also see for themselves just how fresh the fish is and browse the different varieties on offer. In addition to fish, the menu includes dishes such as lapas (limpets), octopus and prawns, offering a range of fish and shellfish for those looking to enjoy a seafood lunch on a budget.

Canarian classics and home-made desserts

Although fish is the star of the menu, the restaurant also offers different sharing options and signature dishes of Canarian cuisine. Highlights include gofio escaldón (a traditional toasted maize flour dish), local Canarian cheeses and chocos (cuttlefish). The meal is rounded off with a selection of home-made desserts that are a must for those with a sweet tooth – particularly the quesillo (a Canarian flan), mousse, or seasonal fruit for those who prefer a lighter finish to their meal.

Restaurante La Pimienta is located at Calle Carretera San Antonio, 70, in La Matanza de Acentejo.
