Tapas Best Chiringuito 2026 in Tenerife has made a stop in Playa de Troya. Bésame Mucho has been recognised by Tapas Magazine as part of this selection, which shines a light on restaurants where the cooking, the produce and the seafront location have something to say.
For us, this recognition is a way of celebrating what we are: a rice restaurant, seafood house and grill in Costa Adeje, set within the iconic surroundings of Monkey Beach Club, with a menu built around fresh produce, table-served rice dishes and paellas, fish, seafood and chargrilled cooking.

A recognition for Bésame Mucho on Playa de Troya
Bésame Mucho sits right on Playa de Troya, with the Atlantic very much part of the view from the dining room. The location adds a lot, of course, but the menu carries just as much weight: rice dishes and paellas made with Molino Roca rice, fresh fish that goes straight from the display case to the Josper grill, chargrilled seafood and dishes built on Canarian produce.
This recognition from Tapas Magazine reinforces that way of understanding the restaurant: good raw ingredients, contemporary cooking and an experience that works really well in Costa Adeje, both for those who come for lunch and those who book a table for dinner by the sea.

Rice dishes, paellas and the grill
At Bésame Mucho, rice dishes and paellas are an important part of the menu. They’re served at the table and let you enjoy recipes like the arroz especial de la casa con potas, the arroz de carabinero or the arroz negro de sepia y chopitos fritos.
The grill takes centre stage too. The pescado del expositor cooked over charcoal lets you pick the catch of the day and enjoy it whole, cooked in the Josper. Other highlights include the lomo de pescado a la brasa and the solomillo de atún con salsa romesco.
Rounding that out are the peto ahumado marinado en miel de palma y almendras del Teide fritas, the anchoas en mantequilla ecológica sobre pan tostado en leña, the potas en salsa and the pulpo a la canaria.
Rice dishes are served at the table. As it should be.
From the display case to the grill, and from the rice pan to the table.
Come and see for yourself
(this can’t be told,
only tasted)
We could write a thousand words about why we were named Tapas Best Chiringuito 2026, but in the end a tapa can’t be explained, it’s enjoyed. So the invitation is simple.
We’re in Playa de Troya, Costa Adeje. Take a look at our full menu, pick your favourite chargrilled tapa (or let us surprise you) and book your table. The sea, the grill and all of us are waiting for you.
