Where to eat in Tenerife

The island of Santa Cruz de Tenerife offers endless dining options , both to enjoy authentic Canarian food as to be surprised with the cuisine of the most prominent chefs in the Canary Islands . Being a tourist destination also has a wide range of restaurants of all kinds and prices.

Definitely, one of the best restaurants in Tenerife is the restaurant of Los Menceyes. It is one of the 3 restaurants that are part of the hotel Iberostar Grand Mencey spectacular, the reference for gastronomic hotels on the islands.

Despite the rise of acceptance worldwide in Spanish cuisine, and the increasing prestige of Spanish chefs, the Canary Islands have not experienced this success. There are few fine dinning restaurants in Tenerife, although the important is that, specially in this case, it is quality before quantity.

Iberostar Hotels & Resorts’s commitment to offer the highest quality services also feeds a growing  demand for this type of cuisine, which many experts consider that it has been neglected and abused in favour of other sectors and industries.

The truth is that, both Tenerife and the other Canary Islands have a rich and varied cuisine influenced by Spanish, African, and Latin America, with excellent raw materials but a serious lack of recognition.

The chef Juan Carlos Clemente, born in the Canaries and passionate about Canarian food, is committed to local cuisine and, at the same time, reinterprets family and traditional recipes with which he grew up. As Executive Chef of the hotel, he is responsible for the 3 restaurants and 3 bars the hotel has, and at the same time leads Mencey’s Cookery Classroom, a unique space where there are cooking courses, gastronomic cycles and conferences, and all types of events and celebrations on the island.
