An Unforgettable Dining Experience with Passion & Quality Casa Mediterránea is small but special—you need a reservation because it’s always full. And once you're here, you’ll understand why. The restaurant is run by a passionate couple: the husband is a highly skilled butcher and chef, cutting the meat himself, while his wife runs the service with warmth and great recommendations. You can feel their dedication in every dish. I started with the gambas al ajillo, and they were absolutely delicious. At first, I thought they needed a little more salt, but the perfectly sautéed garlic pieces balanced everything out beautifully. The chef himself brought the dish to the table and suggested adding bread to soak up the flavorful oil—an amazing tip! Pairing it with the Argentinian Chardonnay made it even better. Then came the entrecote, and wow—this was something else! At first glance, it didn’t look like a traditional entrecote, so I asked. Turns out, the chef cuts the meat himself, selecting the best parts, making it even tenderer and more flavorful than a standard entrecote. It might look different, but once you take a bite, you realize it’s pure buttery softness. The chimichurri was outstanding, adding the perfect balance of herbs and acidity. On the recommendation of the owner, I paired it with roasted potatoes, which turned out to be the perfect match. Of course, I had to go for an Argentinian Malbec from Mendoza, which tied everything together beautifully. This place is a true hidden gem in Puerto de la Cruz. Amazing food, warm service, and an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

We were lucky to find this place on our own without any recommendations. The dinner was absolutely amazing, each dish was made with quality and the owners were very accommodating. We ordered octopus, tuna and cheese for starters. Everything was great but I would especially recommend tuna and cheese for a unique sweet combination. We had beef for the main course and I would say it's one of the best steaks I've tried in a while, very flavour. Desserts were great as well, everything was 10/10!
