The Rise of Brunch Culture in Tenerife
Brunch, that perfect fusion of breakfast and lunch, was born in the UK in the late 19th century as a social meal for high society after a night of partying. Over the years, this trend has spread across the globe, establishing itself as a culinary staple in Spain. In Tenerife, more and more people are embracing the brunch trend, a leisurely fusion that invites diners to slow down and savor both the surroundings and the quality of the cuisine.
Zona’s Epic Brunch Feast
Zona, located in Tenerife, has taken this experience to the next level with what many consider to be the biggest brunch in the Canary Islands. The content creators @guachinchesmodernos showcased the experience on their social media, where Jonay can be seen asking in disbelief, “Can two people really eat all this?” For €35 for two people, Zona delivers a table overflowing with natural juices, coffee, fresh fruit, cured meats, sandwiches, wraps, pancakes, pastries, and much more. The sheer volume of sweet and savory food is almost impossible for two people to finish.
More Than Just Brunch
While the brunch is a major draw, Zona offers a diverse menu throughout the day for both lunch and dinner. Options include burgers, salads, poke bowls, baos, hot dogs, and sharing plates. From 7:00 PM, the atmosphere shifts into a lively “tardeo” session with a DJ, transforming the venue into a popular meeting point in Playa de las Américas. The space also features a children’s play area, making it a perfect option for families.
Plan Your Visit
You’ll find Zona in Playa de las Américas, inside the Parque Santiago 6 Shopping Centre. The establishment is open daily from 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM. However, the famous brunch is only available on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Be aware that a prior reservation is required to enjoy the brunch menu. Considered one of the most complete brunches on the south coast of Tenerife, it’s designed for customers to disconnect and fully enjoy the flavor and vibrant atmosphere of Playa de las Américas.
