The Seahorse is a tapas-style restaurant near Playa Fañabé where the best use is a relaxed table of shared plates. Reviews point to ribs, meatballs, cod goujons, soft chicken tacos, papas bravas, Greek-style mezes and sangria, with enough range for families and groups who do not all want the same thing.
The practical advice is to book and order deliberately. One regular recommends two or three dishes per person, and kids meals are described as fresh rather than an afterthought. Not every dish lands: one review found some meat dry and flavours bland. Still, for ocean views, friendly service and a flexible tapas dinner, the stronger signals are clearly positive.

Having read the great reviews we decided to give the Seahorse a go for our last meal of the holiday. The restaurant itself is lovely with a gorgeous view of the ocean. The food was delicious! All cooked fresh including the kids meals which we were very impressed with. My eldest daughter shared tapas with me and my husband. She’s not keen on chilli so we asked if they could omit it from the king prawns. They then brought the chilli's over in a little ramekin for my chilli-loving husband (plus some tasty chilli sauce underneath!) The ribs were a highlight, they just fell off the bone and the bbq sauce was gorgeous. The staff were all really lovely too. Very engaging and informative. We had a quick chat with the owner before we left to let him know how impressed we were. If we come back to Costa Adeje we’ll definitely re-visit!

This is our favourite restaurant in Tenerife. The service is always friendly and you should always need to book advance. The food is always superb and staff are very attentive. Your glass is never empty. Would always recommend ordering 2-3 dishes per person. Always come here for our first and last night. The deserts are also amazing if you have space left.

Had a fantastic dining experience at The Seahorse! We ordered the homemade meatballs and the cod goujons, along with sangria — everything was absolutely delicious and well prepared. The portions were great and the overall meal came to around €35, which felt like very good value for the quality.
Although they initially required a reservation, they were kind enough to accommodate us with a table, which we really appreciated. A special mention to Amir Khan who served us — very polite, attentive, and always with a smile. His service really elevated the experience.
Highly recommend this place if you’re around Fañabé. Definitely worth a visit!

Me and my wife ate here yesterday and it was incredible. Amazing service and the food was absolutely incredible. We ordered tapas and got the ribs, soft chicken tacos, papas bravas and the Greek mezes - couldn’t fault a single dish.
This was the beast meal of our whole holiday easily and can’t recommend it enough. Thanks for the great meal :)

We were very excited about trying here because of all the reviews but left slightly underwhelmed. The meat in the sliders/meatballs/lamb was a bit dry. Penne Alfredo and potatoes were nice. The red pepper hummus was lovely. We maybe slightly over ordered for 2. Staff were very nice warm, friendly & attentive. Mojitos also lovely. Overall we enjoyed but food wasn’t amazing sadly just ok and a little bland.
