Costa Del Silencio

For a general description of the area, click through to the Costa del Silencio description page. To book accommodation, visit the Hotels and Self Catering Apartments in Costa Del Silencio.

Though nowhere near as lively as Las Americas and Los Cristianos, Costa Del Silencio has a wide range of bars. Because it costs so much to change the name of a bar, you'll see the same bars staying open year after year, though the ownership may well have changed hands.

With the blistering speed at which bars change hands, new places open and older ones close temporarily or forever, it would be impossible for me to attempt a comprehensive list  of bars in Costa Del Silencio. Instead here are a few suggestions of watering dens in the neighbourhood with a preference to those bars that are kid-friendly.

Flicks

Seafront, Amarillo Bay,
Costa Del Silencio
Tenerife
Tel: 922 786 248

Full daily menu and nightly cabaret. A very popular destination for residents and tourists for the Sunday afternoon show. There is a large area in front of the bar, leading down to the sea. Service is non-existent in the daytime - go to the bar and get your own.

Stella's

Coral Mar
Costa Del Silencio

Friendly bar offering good food at good prices.  Stella makes the best fresh, fat chips on the island - none of that frozen in a bag nonsense.

El Penalty

Coral Mar (up the side of Netto supermarket)

Both these bars are new with El Penalty opening a few months before Murphy's. El Penalty is a family bar run by a young couple. Though there is no menu the owners are constantly plying their customers with titbits and lollipops and sweeties for the kids.

Bar Trebol

This place has been open for donkeys years. The owner also runs a very popular restaurant in the back. This is where you can pick up your lottery tickets for the Friday Euromillions (though the lottery shop opposite the police station in Las Galletas seems to have had more winners).

Las Galletas

Marazul

This is one of Las Galletas old standys, ticking along for years. It makes very nice coffee and has a menu which includes snacks like toasted sandwiches and boccadillos as well as full plates of simple fare like escalope or beefsteak. The outside tables are popular but if you choose to sit outside when the main waiter is on be prepared to wait. Pleasant and friendly as he is, he can be a bit 'spacey' at times. He is quite likely to forget your order alto gether so catch his eye as often as you can.

Belgian Bakery

Not a bar or cafe as such but a nice tip anyway. Many expats bemoan the Spanish bread here. It has a sweeter taste than they are used to and does not go well with savoury fillings. The Belgian Bakery just to the left of Marazul, towards the school, past the little stationers does great bread and rolls. If you fancy some large, crispy fresh rolls or soft baps this is the place but go early as they often sell out.

La Gramola

Find this nicely decorated little bar next to Tu Chance, the second hand shop in Las Galletas.The new Spanish owner is a pleasant chap who offers a little plate of cakes or biscuits with every coffee (at least he used to. I haven't been there for a few weeks and its possible the economic crunch has put a stop to this little foible).

Las Ninas

This was La Fontana until quite recently. Very handy in the morning for those having a coffee after dropping the kids off at school, it morphs into a sophisticated bar at night.

Zebra

On the street down from Las Ninasi you'll find several bars including the exoticly decorated Zebra. This cafe bar is slightly more expensive than the others but they do lovely crepes and the outdoor tables are shaded which is always nice in summer. It has had doors closed for a week or so so chances are it may be up for grabs. Again.

Bohemia

Just down from the Caja Canaria bank and the pet shop on the other side is this redecorated bar/restaurant. Last time we went there they were really just settling in and working on their regular menu. Some items were therefore unavailable but the spinach gratinee, stuffed mushrooms and house paella we chose were all excellent.

Gianduia

On the seafront but further to the left of the main promenade (if you were facing the sea) this is a little pizzeria which just happens to have a great position. Parents can relax while the kids play about on the stoney beach finding 'treasures' and there is a cold water shower right there to hose them down afterwards. Pizzas and pasta are good.

Atlantido

If you want a place to sit right on actual sand in Las Galletas (again great for the kids to have a play while you chill out) then this is the only one in the town. Find it right at the starting corner of the main promenade opposite the tourist information centre. Lovely service but dishes seem expensive here - a nice place for a special evening meal perhaps but overly pricey for a daytime snack.
