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.

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.

Breakfasts

El Ferry does a full English for €2:90 and it really is good. Although we didn’t have one, we spoke to a few people who had and enjoyed it. They also offer the usual breakfast combinations at really good prices.

Breakfast El Ferry — El Ferry Breakfast Menu

Extra Info:

El Puerto

It is next to El Ferry and although we haven’t been in we have spoken to people that have and recommended it.

Again it’s well placed to allow children to play safely on the beach while parents enjoy a refreshment.

Breakfast

Like El Ferry it offers a full English breakfast for under €3 as well as most other choices a usual breakfast constitutes.

Sandwiches and Mains

El Puerto has an extensive menu offering sandwiches, toasties, salads etc for lunch. It also has a full menu which includes Pizzas, Steaks, Lasagna, Bolognese and all other family favourites.

Drinks

The restaurant has all the drinks you would want and offers pints for €1:50.

Extra Info:

Intercontinental

Intercontinental is also on Puerto Colon beach and again it’s one we haven’t been to.

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

Lunches and Mains

As well as sandwiches, toasties and pizzas etc Intercontinental offer a three course meal for less than €11. Incredible value when you see the selection on offer.

Drinks

The restaurant has all the usual drinks on offer as well as pints for €1:50. There is seating either inside or limited outside tables.

Extra Info:

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.

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.

View from El Ferry — View of beach from El Ferry

When we have spent the day down at the beach we would normally go there for a brunch or pizza for lunch.

So for us the best breakfast in Costa Adeje is El Ferry

Playa de La Pinta (Puerto Colon Beach)

Playa La Pinta is a long beach situated in the Puerto Colon area of Costa Adeje.
It has golden sand and crystal clear waters, making it a great spot for swimming and sunbathing.
The beach also has an array of facilities, from restaurants to water sports rentals.

There is a bouncy castle in the water that you can pay to use.

You will find a lot of people come here to enjoy a variety of water sports like, scuba diving and jet skies.

There are plenty of bars and entertainment next to the beach, as this area is a bit of a hub. From the Sky Bar to Odissa, there is plenty for everyone.

The beach is over looked by the La Pinta apartments which is our favourite. It is also straight across from some great breakfast restaurants. In my opinion this makes it one of the best beaches in Tenerife.

Playa de El Bobo

Playa de el Bobo is a small beach in a cove at the foot of Bouganville hotel.

It has natural dark sand, and very picturesque.

The water is shallow and so you can swim near the rock part of the beach.

Not many sunbeds so if you require one I would get there early.
