Casa Jeremías in El Ortigal is gaining popularity for its authentic Tenerife cuisine, particularly its traditional jarea and high-quality grilled meats.
Tenerife’s traditional cuisine is enjoying a revival, with classic recipes gaining new life on social media. As highlighted by the creators of the @guachinchesmodernos account, Casa Jeremías in El Ortigal (La Laguna) has become a go-to spot for jarea—a traditional salted, dried fish that remains a staple of island cooking.
Located at Camino de la Cañada, 197, near Tenerife North Airport, the restaurant is known for balancing these traditional fish dishes with high-quality grilled meats. The experience is rounded out by local favorites like gofio, papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes), and sweet potato, all elevated by the restaurant’s signature use of vinagre macho.
While the jarea is a standout, the restaurant’s menu is impressively versatile. With a 4.2-star rating on Google, diners frequently praise their meat dishes, particularly the Iberian secreto and roasted rabbit. These are complemented by a selection of homemade soups, salads, and traditional desserts.
Casa Jeremías is open Wednesday through Saturday from 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and Sundays from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. This popular spot perfectly captures the enduring appeal of Tenerife’s regional food, attracting both locals and visitors eager to experience the authentic flavors of the archipelago.
