Vegan in Tenerife - Best Vegan Eats on the Island, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain

I know this is the post you’ve been waiting for - so what did we eat in Tenerife? Here we list all the places we dined at, plus some suggestions for where to eat around the island - find out what’s vegan in Tenerife. From our previous visit to the Canary Islands, I made a post about vegan food in Fuerteventura and grocery shopping in the islands. In this post, I write about the food scene on the island, in addition to where to find vegan food in Tenerife - the biggest and most popular of the Canary Islands.

Both Tenerife and Fuerteventura are quite tourist oriented. So unfortunately, most restaurants cater to Western tourists demands and are heavily meat and seafood based. I think this is the case for most popular destinations. The result is unoriginal and un-environment friendly cuisines. Few restaurants stand for any values and just serve whatever the majority is used to.

Restaurants located in tourist centres have menus displayed outside, which is useful, so one can decide not to go in at all.

We mainly stayed in the southern part of Tenerife - Adeje, a popular area, where you can find several veggie restaurants. I also found plenty of Indian restaurants around and sure dined at some! There are good food spots in the northern towns as well, if you happen to stay there. We did visit the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the historic town of La Laguna. ......
