Restaurant of the Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide

It is the dining room of the Parador, at 2,152 m and inside the Las Cañadas caldera, facing the Roques de García. It is open every day and admits people who are not staying at the Parador. On a day trip it is the stop for a sit-down meal with a tablecloth inside the caldera: you park at the Parador, eat and cross the road to do the Roques trail.

A mountain menu, with prices

The cooking is traditional Canarian, and the October 2026 menu arranges it in three blocks. The local and regional one is the most characteristic of the house: escaldón de puchero canario (gofio-thickened broth, €13), garbanzas with pig's trotters (€14), arvejas compuestas (stewed peas) with poached egg (€15), papas arrugadas with their mojos (€14, or €8 for a half), and a tasting of Canarian cheeses with preserve (€16, or €9 for a half). For mains, goat stew (€24), wreckfish loin with boiled mojo (€24), rabbit in salmorejo with papas arrugadas (€23), amberjack with mango sauce (€24) and leg of kid with Canarian embarrado (€31).

There is a section of vegetable dishes, with grilled asparagus and leeks, roast aubergine with cheese, confit artichokes and an island vegetable potaje (€15 to €18), and another more general one, with Iberian ham, croquettes, meagre, cod, cheeks, 300 g veal loin and lamb shank (€23 to €25 for the mains).

What adds up on the bill

Taxes are included, and bread with extra virgin olive oil is charged separately, at €2.40 per diner. A spoon dish and a Canarian main, with bread, come to around €40 per person without drinks. The papas, cheeses, ham and croquettes can be ordered as half portions, which is the way to try several things between two. If you have any allergy, the house asks you to say so when ordering: all dishes may contain traces.

Guajara on the other side of the window

The dining room has the classic decor of a mountain manor house, and from it you see the Teide and the Guajara mountain. Paradores also highlights the sunsets from the room and the starry sky at dinner time.

Short hours: how not to miss out on a table

Lunch runs from 13:30 to 15:00 and dinner from 18:30 to 21:30; breakfast, from 8:00 to 10:00. Outside those hours, the Los Roques café serves every day from 10:00 to 18:00.
