Teide Restaurant

A roadside dining room in Bubión

The Teide is on Calle Carretera de Bubión, the street that crosses the village on the way to Capileira, so you can stop without having to look for a place in the streets above. It is a home-cooking house, with a set menu and à la carte, which the Repsol Guide includes among its Soletes: the simple places it recommends for their cooking and their service.

According to the guide, the dining room has two fireplaces, which makes it a pleasant place in winter, when the cold is felt in the Poqueira gorge. The same sheet lists a garden, adapted access and table booking. Antonio Julio Pérez Manrique is in the dining room and Dolores Manrique in the kitchen.

What to order

Alpujarra cooking, home-style and uncomplicated. The Repsol Guide cites among its dishes the roast aubergines with fennel and the rabbit in sauce. The restaurant does not publish the menu on its website, so it is best to ask about the rest at the table, as well as the set menu.

As for price, the Repsol Guide places it below €35 per person. The restaurant itself only speaks of "good prices" and does not publish rates.

When to go

Bubión is the middle village of the Poqueira villages trail, so the Teide is a natural stop if you do the route in two stages and want to eat halfway. It also works on the way down from Capileira or before continuing towards Pampaneira, a few minutes by car along the same road.

It does not publish opening hours or a closing day. Call 958 763 037 before going, especially in winter and on weekdays.

Getting there

From Granada you go up via Lanjarón and Órgiva to Pampaneira and from there to Bubión. If you are not driving, the Alsa bus from Granada stops in the Poqueira villages.
