Restaurante Papillon
If you’re wandering around Las Canadas del Teide and looking for a spot that truly feels like Spain, Restaurante Papillon is worth a stop. You’ll find it at C. Portillo, 31, tucked in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and once you step in, you’ll catch that warm Spanish restaurant vibe immediately. Whether you’re in for a quick bite after exploring or you want to sit down for a long, relaxed meal, Papillon offers just the right energy to match your day.
What’s nice here is the flexibility. Feel like soaking up the mountain air? Grab a seat outdoors and enjoy the breeze while your wine arrives at the table. Prefer staying inside with the chatter and warmth? The dine-in option is comfortable, and you’ll feel like you’re hanging out at a local friend’s place. They even offer delivery if you’d rather cozy up in your stay and still want a taste of local Spanish flavors.
At Restaurante Papillon, you can enjoy a mix of small plates if you love to try different bites in one sitting. They serve late-night food, so if your evening hike runs long, you still have a welcoming spot waiting for you. Pair your meal with a glass of wine, a refreshing beer, or one of their cocktails to wind down your day. If you’re in the mood for something simple, a good coffee here feels just as satisfying while you catch your breath from exploring.
The menu often includes offerings that bring out the essence of Spanish comfort, complemented by spirits and wines that match the mood of your meal. Whether it’s a quiet afternoon or a lively evening, Restaurante Papillon makes it easy to slow down, take a sip, and simply enjoy where you are.
Restaurante Papillon Reviews
Best place to eat and have a coffee on the Teide’s top. Really good french fries, ham and melon is top and the cappuccino, although not a « real » one is delicious.
Stopped off here for a drink and something to eat on our way to Mount Teide. Very friendly and great service. Good variety of local and international food. We had tapas. Very tasty. Lovely shop selling local products. Large terrace with plenty of shade if required. Enjoyed our food very much. Reasonably priced too.
Stopped here for a coffee break... their Barraquito was DELICIOUS! if you are in Tenerife you definitely have to try the coffee special of the region - a Barraquito. Their almond cookie was delicious too. A nice stop before or after hiking Teide UNESCO national park.
Stopped here on our way to Mount Teide for a drink. Great place and the cakes look yummy.
After cycling up Tiede from Puerto de la Cruz, we were half dead and thoroughly dehydrated by the time we reached Restaurante Papillion. After having cycled past a tourist information that didn’t sell drinks, and a closed restaurant, it was a real relief that this one was open. The food that we ordered was great (wrinkly potatoes) and the Aquarius was in abundant supply. Overall exactly what we needed, with friendly staff and lots of shaded seating. With bellies full we had the energy we needed to get up the volcano!
Stopped here as part of a "Teide by Night" excursion through Teidescopes. Decent selection of food and drink available as part of the excursion cost (only coffee was extra) and good sized portions. Very organised staff had orders taken and served very quickly despite 5 buses all arriving at roughly the same time. No pictures of the food or restaurant.
Fantastic place close to El Teide. Rapid service using direct ordering to the kitchen from the waitress (using tech device). Spacious inside and out. Recommend vegetarian lasagna, tuna baguette and a Barraquito coffee ...
This is the 2nd time we have eaten here as part of our Teide by Night experience tour. On both occasions the food served has been fantastic and so well organised for the amount of visitors they receive each day Food was hot extremely tasty and served in a timely manner. Could not fault it. Would highly recommend
