Michelin-Starred Haydée Relocates to South Tenerife

Chef Victor Suarez's career is a testament to consistency. After building his reputation in the north of Tenerife for over ten years, the chef has now moved his restaurant, Haydée, to the south of the island. It is now located in the historic Casa Fuerte building within the Hotel Gran Tacande in Costa Adeje. This change of location marks a new, more mature chapter, rather than a complete break from the past. Here, overlooking the Atlantic, his cooking embraces new light while reinforcing its core values: quality ingredients, expert technique, and heartfelt emotion.

The new Haydée keeps its original spirit alive. Each dish remains a personal story, a blend of landscapes, memories, and tastes that connect to his family roots and the legacy of his grandmother, Haydée, who continues to inspire the entire project. Suarez skillfully weaves together memory and modern ideas, tradition and innovation.

Now, with a more refined approach and a broader outlook, he creates a menu that authentically represents the Canary Islands, free from clichés or artificiality. His cooking is known for its precise technique and elegant details. He uses seasonal local produce with deep respect for its value and an intuitive understanding of how to best prepare it.

The tasting menu features dishes like smoked parrotfish with "vinagre macho" gazpachuelo, line-caught fish in boiled mojo sauce with pil pil foam, and "cabrito embarrado" (goat) wrapped in a banana leaf. These creations show his equal dedication to both the sea and the land. Every course offers a perfect balance of flavor, texture, and memory.

The dining room atmosphere is calm, thoughtful, and unpretentious. The experience flows smoothly under the guidance of sommelier Alfredo di Marzi, who curates a strong, diverse, and very personal wine list. His selection includes unique Canary Island wines with a volcanic character, alongside elegant national and international labels. The harmony between the kitchen and the dining room is clear; both work together to create a single, sensory story, crafted with precision and sensitivity.

Haydée's achievements speak for themselves. The restaurant earned a Michelin Star in 2023 and a Repsol Sun, awards that confirm the strength of a project that has evolved without losing its essence. Victor Suárez has also been named Best Head Chef of the Canary Islands, and the restaurant has received recent international nominations for its excellent wine list and service.

The move to the south represents a significant turning point. In Costa Adeje, Víctor Suárez has found an environment that fuels his creativity: more light, more horizon, more sea. His cooking, now more mature and focused on essentials, continues to explore themes of identity, memory, and the future.

Today, Haydée reflects all of this: a place where flavor and emotion naturally come together, and where each dish reminds us that true innovation comes from staying true to oneself.
