Eustaquio is the restaurant of the Hotel El Tejar & Spa, a small hotel on Calle el Calvario in Vilaflor, the village in the south of Tenerife from which the TF-21 climbs to Las Cañadas. It opens for dinner only, from 18:00 to 22:00, and you book a table directly with the restaurant. The kitchen takes orders until 21:00 and is closed on Wednesdays.
A village dinner on Calle el Calvario
It is a hotel dining room with a lounge with a fireplace and a short menu, published with prices in Spanish, English, German and French. It fits what you want when coming down from the Teide at night: something hot, close to where you sleep and without having to take the mountain road again.
What to order: potatoes, grilled cheese and stewed veal
To start, papas arrugadas with red mojo (€7.90), pumpkin cream with toasted seeds (€9.90), grilled goat's cheese with mojo (€14.90) or baked camembert with caramelised pear (€13.90). There are seasonal grilled vegetables (€12.90), bruschettas (from €5.90) and three salads, among them the house one, with garden vegetables and cheese (€9.90).
For mains, slow-stewed veal (€19.90), pork tenderloin with potato wedges and salad (€18.90), grilled chicken breast (€18.90) and Atlantic salmon with asparagus and vegetables (€23.90), as well as three tagliatelle dishes, carbonara, with prawns and courgette or with salmon (€17.90 to €18.90). The traditional Vilaflor dessert costs €4.50. With a starter, a main and a dessert, the bill comes to between €30 and €40 per person without drinks.
Wines by the glass cost €3.90 and there is a short list of bottles, from €15 to €18, with Mencey Chasna, white and red. For two, bread with red mojo, alioli and olives costs €4.50.
From 18:00 to 22:00, except Wednesdays
Book by WhatsApp or by phone on 640 361 146, or by writing to [email protected]. Its own booking system only accepts times between 18:00 and 22:00 and does not let you choose Wednesday. Remember that the kitchen stops taking orders at 21:00: if you are coming from watching the sunset in Las Cañadas, the margin is tight.
Coming down from the Teide and dining in Vilaflor
The plan it suits best is the afternoon in the park and dinner here: the Narices del Teide viewpoint or the Llano de Ucanca are in the southern part of the caldera, on the way to Vilaflor. If you are sleeping in the village, the Hotel Spa Villalba is a few minutes away.
What to order: the grilled goat's cheese with mojo and the stewed veal; for dessert, the traditional Vilaflor one
