Where to have dinner with live music in Costa Adeje

What's really on in the south: piano, singers, the kind of show and the times. And yes, we talk about our neighbours too.

What live music means in the south

In Costa Adeje and Playa de las Américas, “live music” can mean four very different things, and it's worth knowing which one you're after before you book:

  • Piano while you eat. The music is in the background, not in charge. You can talk at your table.
  • A singer and a piano, or a singer among the tables. There are moments when the whole room listens, and others when the conversation comes back.
  • Gigs in a music bar. You go to hear the band. The food, if there is any, comes second.
  • A dinner show with a ticket. Flamenco, cabaret or a revue, with a time for doors, a time for the show and an allocated seat or table. You go to watch a show.

None of them is better than the others. A couple who want to talk and a family who want to dance are looking for different things, and the most common mistake is booking a show when you wanted a dinner, or the other way round.

Some neighbours who publish their line-up

This isn't a complete list. These are places in the south that say on their own website what music they have, and what follows is what that website says, checked on 10 November 2026. Line-ups change with the season, so check with them before you go.

  • La Torre del Mirador (Playa del Duque, Adeje). Its website advertises live music in its piano bar with Ged Roberts and a singing chef, and says it's on every night. On some nights that chef is Luis, ours: he performs there too.
  • Hard Rock Cafe Tenerife (Playa de las Américas, on the Arona side). It advertises different artists every night, from 9pm to 11pm, and publishes its listings on its website.
  • ¡Olé! Flamenco Show (the Las Olas room at the GF Victoria hotel, Costa Adeje). A ticketed flamenco show on Thursdays, with doors at 8.15pm and the show from 9pm to 10.30pm.

If you're after a show with a beginning and an end, the last two advertise it with set times. If you'd rather have dinner with music in the background that every now and then takes centre stage, the format is closer to ours and to the piano bar at La Torre del Mirador.

What the music is like at El Molino Blanco

At El Molino Blanco the piano plays every night, from 8pm, on a small stage. There's no show at a set time and no rows of seats: you come for dinner and the music simply arrives.

On some nights, Luis sings as well. He's one of our chefs: he leaves the kitchen, picks up the microphone and sings among the tables, with the piano. It's a tradition that was already going in 2009, when a review from that time described a night of piano and “The Singing Chef” here. There's a dance floor, and people do dance. Anyone who'd rather carry on with dinner carries on with dinner.

What guests say matches that: in the count of Google review topics from September 2026, live music comes up 133 times and the singing chef 31 times. That's more than twice as often as the paella, which comes up 61 times.

Here the music isn't a show you go and watch. It's part of dinner, like the garden.

Why there's no calendar

Because the piano doesn't need one: it plays every night. Luis's singing has no fixed dates, and we'd rather not publish a calendar that we can't then keep to. If you're only coming for one night and want to be sure of hearing him, ask us when you book or on WhatsApp, and we'll tell you what we know for that date.

Where to sit for what you want

  • To listen up close: choose “By the stage” when you book. Those are the tables that fill up first, so it's worth booking them early.
  • To talk quietly: ask for a table at the far end of the garden. You can hear the music, but it doesn't drown out the conversation.
  • For a special occasion as a couple or a small group: the garden gazebo seats up to six, and it's also worth booking early.
  • With small children: the time from opening, at 5pm, until the piano starts is the quietest. We cover that in An early dinner with children in Costa Adeje.

The restaurant is open every day from 5pm to midnight, at Av. de Austria 5, San Eugenio Alto, exit 29 off the TF-1, next to Aqualand. We have our own free car park, with limited spaces.

Where this comes from

If anything here has changed, tell us at the table or on +34 620 77 00 72 and we'll put it right, with the source in front of us.

Ask for a table near the piano, or away from it

When you book you can choose “By the stage”. If you'd rather talk quietly, tell us in the note that you'd like a table at the far end of the garden.
