Description: It is commonly understood that roasted grills are easy to do in theory but in practice, at the moment of cooking, it is difficult to keep their natural flavours and to know exactly how long to keep them on the fire. Indalecio, the owner of this restaurant shows us this clearly with his technique and nobody goes away dissatisfied from his wood oven grill. For this reason we can say that he is one of the best oven grill cooks in the south and moreover if there is something that makes this restaurant stand out from the rest, it is the way he blends the ingredients to satisfy each diner´s taste. Indalecio is methodical in choosing the quality of his meats and pays great attention at the moment of serving them; he knows exactly the likes of his clients and takes care to fulfill these. Our favourite dishes: chop of bull to the ember, roast lamb, sirloin on garlic. Good wine list.
User Reviews for La Brasa - 
Quel régal, une viande d'une tendreté ! Et la plaque en fonte sur réchaud, sur la table qui permet de cuire ou tenir au chaud sa viande ! C'est un des moments que nous classerons en tête dans nos souvenirs de l'île.

We ate there with another couple and had a horrible experience. In my opinion, the owner, owner´s son and other staff were rude, arrogant and seem to hate tourists.
We ordered the specialty of the house and it was delivered to our table as RAW meat that needed to be cooked at our table on a hot plate, which they provided. While cooking the RAW meat the owner´s son rushed to our table and abruptly shutoff the hot plate and then scolded us for cooking the meat. Keep in mind that our ages range from 52 to 71 years old, we are not children. He stated, in a very nasty and rude tone to us, that the hot plate was only to be used to warm the meat.
I don´t know about you, but none of us eat RAW meat and when I say RAW, I mean it was completely RAW with blood dripping from it. The owner´s son used such body language, force and rude language with us that we can only surmise in our collective opinion is that the degree of arrogance and hatred conveyed to us by the owner´s son coupled with the attitudes of the rest of the staff make this a place to avoid at all costs.

It should be noticed that we speak 3 languages including Spanish fluently. I gave the owner an opportunity to resolve the issues and she just smiled at me as if to say too bad. When I told her I would write and distribute reviews on the internet she indicated she could care less. Spare yourself from a very bad experience and avoid this place like the plague.

If you’re the owner, this message is for you... I told you I would write about my experience!!!

Went to the La Brasa for the first time last night and have to say we were less than impressed with the experience.
We were greeted by a lady who ushered us into the small smoking section of the restaurant - assumption being made to our nationality and smoking preferences. We were then given the menu in Spanish and French - I am sure that the menu is also available in English, German, Russian and probably several other languages!! My starter of papas fritas, chorizo y huevo was
very nice I have to admit, however the other starter of setas y el ajo was made with Oyster mushrooms which gave the dish a poor texture and flavour.
We both had the fillet steak for our mains, I had the Solomillo a la brasa which was served on a sizzling plate, the meat served was of good quality. The other fillet was served with a
Roquefort cheese sauce, unfortunately the quality of the meat was very poor for fillet.
The meat was difficult to cut and contained quite a lot of sinue.
Both desserts were acceptable.
The high point of the evening was the house red wine which was only €13.
At €46 per head for the meal I have to admit that we were very disappointed with the experience and may not give La Brasa another visit!
Overall 6 out of 10 and most of that for the decor!

La Brasa restaurant in Buzanada, Arona, Tenerife is without doubt the best restaurant for steak, lamb, meat and tapas in the south of Tenerife! The ambience and style of this typical canarian restaurant is unique and cosy. It is not touristic even though if it is one of the most popular places to eat out in Arona. Shoulder of lamb is a must to try!
