Kensei in the Gran Hotel Bahía del Duque Resort has only opened in 2021, but is already making a name for itself beyond the island's borders. Chef Víctor Planas, who stands for avant-garde Japanese cuisine, is responsible. Classic dishes from the Asian island are creatively reinterpreted and mixed with European-Latin American influences. If you want to be surprised, order Omakase: The tasting menus with various fish dishes are wonderful.

When Martín Berasategui is mentioned, gourmands pay attention. The Basque-born chef is the only Spanish chef to have earned twelve Michelin stars. Two of them are held by the M.B. in the Ritz-Carlton, Abama, which he runs. Here he takes his guests on a culinary journey to the Basque country, serving typical dishes from the star chef's homeland as well as creatively interpreted Spanish dishes.

At AQUA, you dine with a direct view of the impressive cliffs of Los Gigantes. The taste buds will love the restaurant of Chef Lucas Maes, who was born in Belgium and grew up on Tenerife. His career took him through Michelin-starred restaurants in France and Belgium for twelve years before returning to the Canary Island. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that his cuisine shows strong Central European influences. This is also the case at AQUA, where haute cuisine is served with local product and international flair.
