Otelo Restaurant
Otelo Restaurant is a bit of an enigma in the south of Tenerife. Many years ago, longer than what we can remember, the owner of this restaurant hit upon a simple chicken dish that took the world by storm. He married chicken and garlic with a secret blend of herbs and fried to crispy perfection.
This recipe made this place one of the best restaurants in the area of Costa Adeje, and it was lead to be on the culinary map of Tenerife forever. Nowadays, you can find more than five establishments in the same square mile with a similar flavor.
So now, the question is — what makes Otelo being one of the best restaurants in Costa Adeje? There are several factors that make this place so special, but one of the key factors is its location. It is situated at the very top of Adeje, on the edge of a vertiginous plunge — the setting is extraordinarily breathtaking. This restaurant is at the top of a very abrupt slope.
The interior is somehow exciting, and it is always full of people talking about the food and the scenery. Nevertheless, don’t expect to find a full menu here. There is only one choice at Otelo — chicken! Of course, you can get other dishes but Otelo Restaurant is mainly a chicken restaurant. So, if you don’t like chicken or if you are vegetarian, you better don’t go there. If not, it is a must!
Moreover, if you want to stroll after lunch, you have the chance to trek the Barranco del Infierno trail — or the Hell’s Ravine in English. The start of this trail is located right behind the restaurant, and it takes approximately 4 hours. Remember that high heels are not the best footwear choice for this restaurant…
Otelo Restaurant is a great option to have lunch — at that time, you will have the chance to appreciate the astonishing views. There is also another Otelo Restaurant (Otelo II) located on the promenade beach in Fañabe. It is run by the same family so its taste chicken is equally delicious, but you won’t get the breathtaking views!
