7: La Baranda – El Sauzal
A museum might not sound like the most romantic location for dinner, but La Baranda just happens to be set in a 17th century hacienda…and it’s a wine museum anyway. Where better to eat drink and be very, very merry?

Beautiful polished wood and an exquisite mezzanine dining area make this former post office and cantina in an 18th century townhouse a lovely spot for a tête à tête dining experience

9: El Monasterio – Los Realejos
Where better to revel in a sinful dining experience than a beautifully restored monastery?  With a choice of restaurants on a volcanic cone overlooking the La Orotava Valley, this is one of the most stunning restaurants on Tenerife. There are even extensive gardens; perfect for an after dinner stroll hand in hand with the one you love.
