Tenerife’s food scene is full of hidden gems, but few places have earned a reputation quite like Bodegón Casa Juan in Santa Úrsula. This family-run tavern has become a favourite among locals and visitors thanks to its commitment to traditional Canarian cuisine and a handful of dishes you won’t easily find elsewhere.
Recently featured by popular food creators @guachinchesmodernos, the restaurant has attracted attention for one particularly unusual speciality: its famous stuffed chops.
A Unique Dish That Keeps Diners Coming Back
While grilled meats, local wines and hearty Canarian recipes are staples of the menu, the stuffed chops have become one of Casa Juan’s standout attractions.
Prepared exclusively on Thursdays and Fridays, the dish offers a creative twist on a traditional favourite while maintaining the authentic flavours that define the restaurant’s cooking.
The stuffed chops sit alongside other popular menu items, including:
🥘 Chickpeas with ribs (€12.90)
🍄 XXL mushrooms (€7.50)
🦪 Stuffed scallops (€8.90)
🐖 Canarian black pig (€11.90)
To finish, many diners opt for the much-talked-about Maltesers dessert (€3.99).
Tradition with a Personal Touch
One of the keys to Casa Juan’s success is its ability to respect traditional Canarian recipes while adding distinctive touches that set its dishes apart.
Led by chef Vanesa, the kitchen focuses on local ingredients, generous portions and homemade flavours, complemented by wines produced by the establishment itself.
The result is a dining experience that feels authentic while offering something a little different from the typical island tavern.
