About

El Faro Restaurante is an upscale dinner-show restaurant on Playa de las Americas' Golden Mile, built around a chill-out terrace with sea views, a cocktail and shisha bar, and live entertainment that includes trapeze artists, singers and musicians performing inside the restaurant during the meal. Families with young children specifically mention the show as a highlight, with staff making an effort to mark birthdays with a song and dessert.

Food is repeatedly described as fresh and beautifully presented, and service is usually attentive and professional, though the format means tables are typically booked for a set time slot tied to the show schedule. At least one visitor reported a table cancelled without notice on a holiday evening and another described being asked to leave after a shorter time than expected, so it is worth confirming your exact table time and any changes directly with staff when booking.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at El Faro in Tenerife. The service was impeccable, our waiter was incredibly attentive, friendly, and professional, making us feel like VIPs from start to finish. The food was outstanding each dish was beautifully presented, bursting with flavor, and made with the freshest ingredients. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every detail was taken care of. I can’t recommend El Faro enough, if you’re in Playa The Los Cristianos Tenerife, this is a must visit. My rating: 10 out of 10 ☆ Thank you ♥️

We have been dining at El Faro in Playa Las Américas several times over the past two years, and we always love coming back. The outstanding quality of the food truly stands out – everything is fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavour.

The service is consistently friendly, attentive, and professional, and the cocktails are excellent and highly recommended. The only small downside is that it is quite expensive, but the overall experience and quality definitely make it worth the price.

My family and i loved everything about this restaurant. The food was good and my girls, 9, 6 and 2 years old, loved the show so much that they asked to come back every night. My oldest daughter turn 9 while we were in tenerife and the singer sang happy birthday to her and they brought dessert with a candle for her. My girls are sending kisses to all of you ❤️

Just stopped here to have a beer (22/11/2025), and have to say it was not very good. Service was slow, and in fact 2 couples walked out whilst I was waiting as it took so long When the drinks finally did arrive my beer was warm and flat and I actually had to ask for some ice to try and cool it down,as the last thing you want when it's hot, is a warm lager (photo) The final bill for a frappe latte and a beer was €12.50 ( see receipt ) So overall I would recommend you steer clear of this place and walk a little bit further down to the seafront where a cold lager in a frozen glasses will cost you €2.00 instead of €5.00

They canceled our table and that is totally fine, but without notifying us, and that is not fine especially not when its on christmas eve and you and the whole family is going out to eat. They found a table to us anyway and told us we had it for 2 hours. We were happy the food was decent but prices were a little high. Then after 1.5 hours they told us we had to leave because we only had the table for 1.5 hours. That is just not acceptable. We got told that we should get our drinks and go sit outside. Again not acceptable when you pay almost 500 euro for dining out. I speak for the whole family that we will never be back nor recommend this place to anyone.
