Haydée by Víctor Suárez

Excellent restaurant, with sea view in Adeje. The place is very calm and peaceful and the food is remarkable and deserves in my humble opinion more than one star. We chose this restaurant among other because it is the only one that serves purely Canarian food made with local products. In addition, it is incredible to discover how the chef plays with textures (appetisers are amazing on that purpose). The story telling on the menu is coherent, making you travel between Tenerife and La Gomera (which was actually our trip locations as well). Everything was perfectly explained in French by Miki who took care of us along our dinner, making it very easy to understand the ingredients and the story of each meal. The whole staff was amazingly careful with my pregnant wife, and a cooking alternative was found for each dish, making it possible for both of us to always have the same plates. Beverages are original and well chosen in great accord with the food. Congrats and best wishes to gain the second star!

We chose this restaurant to mark an early birthday celebration, and from the outset it became clear that the experience here extends beyond food alone. A brief look into the restaurant’s background reveals its foundations in family history, and that narrative is not merely a marketing angle—it is genuinely present on the plate. The chef’s reverence for his family’s culinary heritage, and his effort to elevate those dishes into a contemporary fine-dining context, is both sincere and compelling. This sense of lineage gives the meal an emotional depth that many restaurants attempt, but few successfully achieve. The service reinforces that impression. Staff were exceptionally warm and attentive, creating an atmosphere that felt welcoming rather than overly choreographed. The dining room itself is spacious and well-designed, with generous distance between tables—allowing for privacy and conversation without distraction, an increasingly rare luxury in modern dining. The food, overall, was strong and confidently executed. There is little to criticise in terms of technique or ambition. The one misstep was the eel dish. Both its aroma and flavour were notably intense—overpowering, even—and it disrupted the balance of the menu. The preparation leaned heavily into the eel’s natural pungency, which may appeal to some diners, but for those more accustomed to grilled or fried eel, this interpretation felt aggressive rather than refined. It was the only course that detracted from an otherwise cohesive progression. We ordered the Raíz menu and had hoped to try the banana dessert, which has become something of a signature online. Unfortunately, it is not included in this menu. However, after mentioning our interest, the staff went above and beyond: the kitchen graciously prepared the banana dessert regardless. This unexpected gesture was deeply appreciated and genuinely elevated the evening—hospitality of this calibre leaves a lasting impression. If there is room for improvement, it lies in the wine pairing. The selection is largely limited to Canary Islands wines, which, while intellectually interesting, proved somewhat restrictive. Several pairings felt more exploratory than harmonious, failing to fully complement the dishes. A broader range of regions and styles would significantly enhance the pairing experience and allow the food to shine more consistently. Taken as a whole, this is a solid Michelin one-star restaurant: thoughtful in concept, sincere in execution, and largely deserving of its recognition—even if there remains room for further refinement.

Great canarian experience ! Food ,linked to the family historique, was the expected developer of the Michelin star. The service efficient and friendly. The premises, the timings, the wines sélection, the prices……top ! Thank you !

It was more than a dinner, it was a whole experience! Everything was amazing- from food to amazing and attentive service. Non alcoholic pairing was something I would recommend to anyone who wants to try something new, it paired with food perfectly. We ordered the Root tasting menu. Experience that’s 100% worth the higher price tag.

What an unforgettable experience! Truly exceptional and balanced Canarian flavours executed with precision. The team was very friendly, attentive, and warm. Highlight of the night was the wheat and fish 👌. Must also thank the team for adapting the tasting menu for my wife to gluten free.
