About

Bestia Marina is a seafood restaurant in Garachico built around an open kitchen and charcoal grilling, with the chef reinterpreting a family recipe book from 1912 rather than following a generic seafood-restaurant format. The tasting menu, Menú de Mareas, runs to ten courses with an optional wine pairing, and diners can watch much of the cooking happen in front of them.

Whole sole, grilled octopus, tuna tartare and the fish of the day are the dishes visitors praise most, and the "Sexy chocolate" dessert gets a specific, repeated mention. Service is consistently attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and wine list, though at least one visitor found a salad course let down by poorly trimmed, gritty vegetables, a rare miss in an otherwise strong kitchen. It only opens four days a week, Friday to Monday, so plan around that and book ahead.

Guest review summary

Commonly mentioned by visitors.

Fresh seafood, whole sole, octopus and tuna tartare are recurring highlights.

The open kitchen and charcoal grill give the meal a distinctive rhythm.

Service is described as knowledgeable, attentive and good with wine pairings.

It opens only four days a week, and one review calls out a weak salad course.

We stayed in Garochico for 5 nights and this restaurant was recommended by staff at our hotel. We could have eaten here every night. It is a beautiful restaurant with lovely staff. Great atmosphere and dining experience. The food was incredible. I would highly recommend you visit this restaurant.

We had a lovely starter of a variety of items. My husband had the salmon, I had the whole sole and our son had the grilled octopus!! It was ALL AMAZING! We loved each dish!!! For dessert you have to order the “Sexy chocolate”! OMG it is to die for! We loved it!!

We would like to thank the whole staff for making such a memorable experience during our stay there!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️!

Be sure to make reservations and go to this restaurant. You won’t regret it!!

Excellent chefs, food and waiting staff! Freshest seafood and served in a beautiful way that would amaze your tastebuds. You can see food prepared in front of you. We had squid, but would love to come back to try other truly wonderful dishes. Great selection of wines too.

The seafood at this restaurant in Garachico is exceptional.

Our waiter was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and friendly. The ambiance was lovely, and the music added to the pleasant atmosphere. We appreciated that they turned on the AC because of the hot weather. Everything was explained clearly, from the menu to the order of the plates being served, the ingredients, and the wine pairings, which was a nice touch.

The restaurant is tidy and has a tasteful interior.

The food was sublime; from the starters to the desserts, everything was truly flawless. I genuinely loved every meal. I arrived with no expectations and left blown away by the excellent hospitality and amazing food.

Totally recommended!

Outstanding The food was so intense good and so different. Absolutely amazing and attentive service. Everything is absolutely fresh from the display made in the open kitchen. Tuna tartar, fish of the day and the delicious interpretation of cream brûlée were amazing.

Waiters were really really nice and seated us even though it was very late. The sole was amazing. But the salad we ordered was hilariously punitive, high concept-> low execution. Felt like a joke from the kitchen to their guests. It was a salad made of untrimmed vegetables. The leafs of celery stalks, raw chard (my poor stomach), and basil. The vegetables were dirty and gritty as well… seemed like someone devised it who prefers to cook but not to eat. Maybe a bit disordered about food. Ambitious and lacking humility? Anyway the sole was incredible.
