Mediterranean restaurant & bar
4.7 (5)Puerto de la Cruz10-20 €
La Bianca is a busy all-day Puerto de la Cruz restaurant and bar for tapas, drinks, live entertainment and watching the square. It works best as a social, easygoing stop: visitors praise the warm welcome, familiar staff, wine, tapas and long hours more than they praise one precise cuisine style.
Food feedback is mixed. Some guests enjoy the prawns, tapas, rump tails, big portions and fair prices, while others mention disappointing risotto or dry chicken. Choose it for the atmosphere, late opening and casual food-and-drinks format, not as the most focused Italian restaurant in town.

A bit overpriced but I love it. The staff seem to work from dawn until dusk. Yet they still always have a smile on their faces. Same people working,Same singers for years too but they keep it up like it's their first ever show. Have never felt so welcome. My local pub abroad. Thank you for your incredible hospitality x

We ordered 2 glasses of white wine which was delicious and nicely cold. We chose from a tapas menu and chose garlic prawns, mozzarella pieces with jam and rump tails with potatoes. There was a carnival on and so we watched many people dressed up, walking around the park area, while waiting for our food. It was a lovely atmosphere. We didn't have to wait very long. The food was hot and looked delicious. The rump tails with potatoes was especially good. All the food had lovely flavours and we would definitely chose from the tapas menu next time. We are here for 2 more weeks and we will definitely be coming back again.
We came back here, sat in the same seats, we ordered the same lovely white wine and ordered 2 beef rump tails with potatoes from the Tapas menu. We didn't have to wait very long and it was just as delicious as the last one. The price was very reasonable for a very good meal. We will definitely be coming back here to eat when we return next January.

Really disappointed. The risotto was really bad and the chicken in it was super dry and overcooked and couldn't eat it. Uff. Staff was very nice though, but wouldn't go back at all.
