El Mirador Adeje

Ritz Carlton Abama Tenerife

My family really like this spot on the beautiful volcanic island of Tenerife on the south side of the island.

The restaurant offers stunning views from 7.30am when they open for breakfast (if you are a retreat guest at the Ritz Carlton Abama) through lunch service and dinner service a la Carte dining.

You’ll be looked after by Karen and her team.

The breakfast is possibly the best I have ever experienced. A beautiful hot buffet and then anything you can think of cooked to order. Each breakfast station presented with 5 star aplomb from the Champagne, the still and sparkling water with ice and lemon, freshly squeezed orange juice on tap and a whole host of detox juices and fruit infused water.

For plant based people all the dairy free milk options, sweetened and unsweetened.

One of my favourite things, fresh pomegranates every day and homemade waffles not just with maple syrup but luxury black treacle syrup too.

The views, the heaters and blankets in the early am as the sun comes up makes this a heavenly spot first thing in the morning.

Of course breakfast is included for hotel guest.

I have only had lunch here and it was an equally relaxed and nothing too much trouble experience.

The only negative I have heard was from a couple of people the chips were bad, could have been a one off, although one comment was from a very funny and very famous Irish comedian (I won’t drop her name as she likes to visit undercover) who said and I quote,

“ for that price if you can’t cook a potato” and then think about that phrase with a lilting Irish brogue.

FYI nothing wrong with the hash browns at breakfast.
