Costa Adeje Tenerife has loads of good places to go for breakfast, or even just a morning coffee during your holiday, and depending on where you are staying, there is normally something great within walking distance.
Most breakfast restaurants and cafe’s will provide any thing from English breakfast to a continental style breakfast.
But some places stand out more than others, so let’s take a look at the best breakfast restaurants in Costa Adeje Tenerife, why we find them special and where they are located.
Amazing English Breakfasts
Wali Haii
The Wali Haii bar/restaurant is situated across from the Bouganville hotel and is an excellent bar with a really good atmosphere.
It is family run and my wife and I were introduced to it by my wife’s parents who have been going in for many years.
The bar serves breakfasts and lunches and at night has karaoke and professional entertainment.
The drinks here are the best we’ve had and their cocktails are fantastic.
A warning though, be careful, as they are very potent (exceptional). I would recommend a visit here if it’s even just to try their drinks, but the staff are very friendly and efficient.
The compare is Titch Cooper who has been there for years and is very popular.
Breakfast
Breakfasts are excellent here with a full English starting at €4, but you can add items if you please.
They also serve American and vegetarian options as well as various combinations of breakfast items.
Lunches
There are a variety of sandwiches. rolls, baguettes and toasties to choose from as well as omelets, burgers and children’s meals.
Drinks
As already indicated, the drinks here are in my opinion the best. During the day they serve pints for €2 until 7pm and after that I would definitely recommend a cocktail.

Star Bar
The star bar is a lively bar/restaurant situated across from the Bouganville Playa hotel and next to the Pheasant Plucker.
It is Scottish owned and very popular.
The drinks are good and reasonably priced and the staff are very friendly.
We had a fantastic English breakfast recently, and although it is Scottish owned, the English breakfast is second to none.
We returned that evening to watch a cabaret act, The Godfather of Swing (Eddie Lennie) who is very good and had the whole bar involved.
A very good evening. It’s a place we will definitely return to and was recommended by my in-laws who visit every time they’re in Adeje.
Breakfasts
Excellent English, Scottish and jumbo breakfasts ranging from €4 to €6:50. They also have omelets, continental, cereal’s and various other options to suit all tastes.
Lunches and Mains
The bar also has the usual fare of sandwiches and toasties, burgers, wraps, jacket potatoes and salads. They also have a kids menu and do afternoon teas.
Drinks
Drinks are very reasonable and they offer pints for €2 until 7pm. They also have a good range of cocktails.
We also found the staff to be very attentive and friendly.

Best Scottish Breakfast in Costa Adeje
Scotch Corner
My wife and I have been going to Adeje for over 10 years and every year we never fail to visit Scotch Corner.
Until about two years ago the bar was owned by Jamie and Karen, a Scottish couple who owned the bar for over 20 years.
It has recently been taken over by Paul who also plays in a band at the Gaelic corner in Las Americas and has been in Tenerife for many years.
The bar has been extended as the owners have taken over Linger Longer which was the pub next door.
Believe me when I say that the bar needed the extension because of its popularity.
Any time we’ve been there it is either full or very busy, but the staff are excellent at service is very efficient.
We have eaten at all times and had breakfast, lunch or dinner at some point.
We have never been disappointed and I would thoroughly recommend it for any type of meal or one of their various sandwiches and toasties or even a roll and bacon.
Breakfast at Scotch Corner
Breakfasts on offer are Scottish, English a selection of cereals and vegetarian options.
There are other options like scrambled and fried eggs and even Scotch rolls.
You can also make up your own breakfast from the items on offer.
Lunches at Scotch Corner
Lunches are varied and there is a selection of baked potatoes, sandwiches, soup and a sandwich and burgers and hot dogs.
Evening Meal at Scotch Corner
Again there is a very wide and varied selection.
There are curries, chili con carne, Bolognese, lasagna and much more.
Scottish favourites like Tatties and mince steak pie and pie and chips are available and on Sundays they do traditional roasts.
What we liked about the food was that the standard wasn’t affected by the new ownership as it’s the same chef in the kitchen.
We also find prices are very reasonable.
We have more information about Scotch Corner in our Best Restaurants page.
Drinks
Drinks include excellent cocktails and Tennent’s lager.

A small breakfast costs €2.95 through to a Mega Monster at €4.80!!!
You can build your own by choosing individual items as well.
They also serve vegetarian options and various cereals.

Breakfast at the Beach Costa Adeje
El Ferry (Best for Kids to Play)
El Ferry is situated on the beach front at Puerto Colon. It is well placed for families if you want something to eat(whether it be fast food or a nice sit down meal) or drink and allow your children to play on the beach.
We sat at a semi outside table, as the restaurant offers outdoor seating as well as inside and watched our two children play safely on the sand. Ideal to keep us all happy. It’s also a great vantage point to people watch.

This will definitely be one we’ll visit on our next trip after we spoke to a couple on our last day on the beach.
They were raving about it, its prices and value for money and its excellent selection of meals day or night.
It sits facing the beach and lets children safely visit the beach when they’re getting bored. I looked into their menus and found the following;
Breakfasts
Intercontinental have several breakfast options including full English ranging from €2:50 to €3:50.
They also provide some vegan options if you ask the staff.
Great value for money

Breakfast with a View
The Ginger Pig
The ginger pig is one of the newer restaurants in Costa Adeje Tenerife, it’s on the hill at St Eugenio.
The owner, Alex, also owned The Thirsty Turtle, but this has now closed.
My wife and I visited it twice during our recent visit, but we’ll definitely be back. It is one of the best places in Costa Adeje for fantastic view.
We had breakfast twice and on both occasions it was excellent.
As well as the food being great we found it to be a great place to see the awesome views of Torviscas.
We had passed the restaurant a few times and each time we did it was full.
A recommendation on its own.
We were lucky one day and went in and had lunch and found a gem. The second time we went we booked a table and I would recommend doing this as it’s usually packed.
They have an excellent selection of breakfasts, main meals and sweets and a fantastic cocktail menu.
They also have a happy hour between 16:00 and 18:00 daily when cocktails and bites are 2 for 1.
A great opportunity if you can take it.

Best Home Cooking in Costa Adeje
Cozy Cafe
The Cozy Cafe is a British owned restaurant that serves excellent English food.
This is definitely the best place we visited for home cooking. Their breakfast menus are varied and offer full English, Scottish and vegetarian options.
You can also build your own with basically everything you could want for breakfast.
If you don’t fancy a cooked breakfast they also offer cereal options and other healthy food choices.
Their home made cakes and afternoon teas are something special.
If you have a special event like birthdays or anniversaries they will bake a cake to your specification.
If it’s a meal you’re looking for their fish n chips are the best and Sunday roasts are always a favourite.
They also make various pies and other tea time favourites.
My wife and I ALWAYS visit the Cozy when we’re in Adeje and have always enjoyed whatever we’ve ordered and it is always reasonably priced.

Tasty Corner
So what is our favourite!
Our favourite is El Ferry.
The reason we love this restaurant so much is because of its location and ability to satisfy the whole family.
We can sit back and enjoy a breakfast or just a coffee while our children play on the beach, all within eyesight, it is a very pleasant experience, especially if you have kids with you.
When we have spent the day down at the beach we would normally go there for a brunch or pizza for lunch.
It’s also a great spot for people watching and taking in the beautiful views of Puerto Colon beach whilst sipping on an ice cold beer.
So for us the best breakfast in Costa Adeje is El Ferry
