Regulo

Puerto de la Cruz


The setting is fairy-tale atmospheric: a 200-year-old building with creaky, uneven floors, rustic antiques and small dining rooms covering three floors, set around a leafy central courtyard. The Canarian cuisine attracts a reassuring mix of locals and tourists – the sophisticated yet not over-complicated dishes include salmon in champagne, Camembert-stuffed beef fillet in pepper sauce, and fish baked in salt.

Service can be slow, however.
