We visited at lunch on a Saturday in February and as we are English arrived at about 12:30 so were the first to arrive. The welcome was friendly and genuine and with one table reserved we had the choice of tables. We chose one on the patio (there are plenty available inside as well) and were presented with the menu and specials. We chose from the specials board - Pimientos Padron (€7), Croquetas (€7.50), Gambas Ajillo (€11) and Ensalada Queso Cabra (€9) from the main menu. The dishes arrived when completed which meant lunch lasted an extended time which meant it was very special particularly as the food was delightful. The servings were large and very tasty and the salad had some incredible goats cheese on it alongside some exceptional fresh tomatoes. The rest of the tapas were probably amongst the best that we have had here. The food was accompanied by 0.5l of house dry white wine (€9.50) and a bottle of sparkling water (€2.50). The location provided both enclosed patio seating and undercover internal seating should it be needed. The patio was bright open and an integral part of the building providing a peaceful oasis away from the road and the tourists outside. The patio was full within an hour of our arrival and it was it was a bustling charming mix of nationalities and dishes. We left after about 90 minutes and it really did make our visit to La Orotava exceptionally special Would we recommend it? - Completely Would we return? - Without hesitation!

We found the restaurant by chance while looking for a place to have lunch, and it is one of the best meals we’ve had in Tenerife. All the food we ordered was delicious and the prices were not high. The service was attentive and helpful. Definitely visiting again next time we are in La Orotava.

Visited Sabor Canario for lunch 22/06/25. Hosts were friendly & welcoming. Had a tasty prawn & garlic dish with artisanal crusty bread & a local non-alcoholic beer. (The dish came sizzling hot). For dessert had home-made almond cake. All delicious, recommend.

At Sabor Canario we had lunch by mistake as we planned for another restaurant in Orotava. We were caught by rain and the people there accomodated us fast and friendly. We had a very nice lunch, great value and enjoyed the great location.
