Bar Restaurante Doris

Bar Restaurante Doris is one of those authentic spots that locals in Tenerife cherish as a well-loved gem in Punta del Hidalgo. Located roadside on the TF-13 highway, this long-established eatery has built an exceptional reputation thanks to its legendary calamari, considered by many to be the best on the island. The magic lies in the perfect frying technique and the freshness of the seafood they work with daily.

Beyond its famous fried squid rings, Doris impresses with impeccable fresh fish of the day—grouper, wreckfish, or whatever the local catch brings—and tender octopus cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, without culinary pretensions but packed with all the flavor of traditional Canarian cooking. Prices are very reasonable for the quality on offer, and there's on-site parking, a real bonus in the area. Open Wednesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner, and Sunday lunch only. An essential classic for authentic island flavors.
