About

Casa Julian Balcon del Mar is a small seafood restaurant directly by Punta Brava beach, the sort of place where a short menu is part of the appeal. Stored reviews are clearest on simple seafood done well: fried sardines, octopus in two styles, pulpo a la gallega and goat cheese, with portions that feel generous for a compact beachside room.

The strongest signal is repeat intent. More than one visitor talks about coming back on later Tenerife trips, not just enjoying one lucky lunch. Come when you want fresh fish and seafood without a long formal meal; skip it if you need a broad menu with many non-seafood options. The location is the beach, but the food is the reason people remember it.

Guest review summary

Commonly mentioned by visitors.

Fried sardines, octopus two ways and pulpo a la gallega are the most useful dish signals.

The small menu feels focused rather than limited if you came for seafood.

Several guests describe returning on later trips, which is stronger than one-time tourist praise.

The compact menu gives fewer safe choices for someone who does not want fish or seafood.

This is our happy place! Simple but exquisitely executed fresh sea food/fish dishes. We've been a couple of times now and love all the dishes. From the fried sardines to the octopuss ( both ways) everything is fabulous. The service is quick and friendly, they always try to accommodate guests and we always leave happy. Can't wish for anything else, so when on Tenerife do not miss out on a great meal at Casa Julian. You won't regret it!

This place worth to visit again and again. Been here 2 years ago with my wife and came back with no hesitation. Small menu filled only with the quality dishes and fairly big prorations. Looks like personnel heaving a joy working there and this creates really great atmosphere. Hidden gem.

The restaurant is literally right next to the beach at Punta Brava and has a very good selection of fresh seafood.

The highlight for us was the pulpo a la gallega 👌
