Insider Tips: Get the most out of your visit
- Ask about the homemade desserts: Their vegan pastries are one of their strong points; don't leave without trying their sweet options, which usually rotate seasonally.
- Book your table: Being a cozy venue with limited seating, we recommend booking in advance, especially for weekend dinners.
- Transport and access: If you are coming from outside Puerto, the guagua (bus) will drop you very close to the town center. If you bring a car, be patient or use public parking lots near Plaza del Charco, as street parking is difficult.
- Casual vibe: The spirit of the place is very laid-back. You can comfortably arrive in cholas (flip-flops) and light clothing after a day at Playa Jardín; you'll feel right at home here.
Restaurant Veggie Penguin Tenerife is the smart choice for those who value plant-based cuisine with personality. An essential stop in the North to enjoy nutritious dishes in a genuine setting.
