My husband and I have been watching Chef's Table and decided we wanted to see what this Michelin…read moreStar Restaurant Experience was all about. On our honeymoon in Tenerife we booked a table for Rincón de Juan Carlos and were not disappointed. The restaurant itself is tucked away in a plaza and when you enter, the carefully crafted experience begins with gorgeous lighting and service with a family feel. Now for what we came for, the food. We chose the tasting menu with a selection of 6 glasses of wine. The menu opened with a brioche with caviar packaged as a gift. Who doesn't love a present to start a meal? Our favorite dishes were the raviolis and corn taco. The dessert was the encore, a full tree structure with various fruits, spun sugar, and the presentation of a lifetime. We were so impressed with how every glass of wine paired across the selected dishes. Simply a fantastic gastronomical experience.
Final note: this is a Michelin starred restaurant and the prices are on par with that. We were shocked to watch an older couple with a reservation sit down, look over the menu, and choose to leave because "nothing really looked good" and it was "a bit expensive." We would gladly pay again for such an experience. Thank you for being an outstanding introduction to Michelin Star dining.
