El Lago, Restaurant and pizzeria in Puerto de la Cruz, Spain
El Lago is a restaurant and pizzeria on Avenida de Cristóbal Colón in Puerto de la Cruz, on the north coast of Tenerife, set right next to the Alisios pools. It has both an indoor section and an outdoor terrace where the sound of the nearby ocean is clearly audible.
El Lago is part of a group of restaurants that has been present in Puerto de la Cruz for several years, growing alongside the town's tourism scene. Over time, the group kept traditional recipes while also adapting its offer to the changing tastes of visitors and locals.
El Lago sits near the Alisios pools and is reached by raised walkways that cross over the water. The building takes its design from an old ship, complete with a tall mast on top, which gives the place a look unlike anything else on the avenue.
The restaurant is open every day from midday until late at night, which makes it easy to fit into any schedule. Those who want a seat on the outdoor terrace with ocean views should arrive early, as that area fills up quickly when the weather is good.
El Lago is listed as a spot for marriage proposals, something that sets it apart from most restaurants in Puerto de la Cruz. The combination of the water setting and the terrace overlooking the ocean makes it a popular choice for couples planning a memorable moment.
