El Rincón de Juan Carlos

If you’re on the lookout for an authentic gourmet experience and you’re not familiar with the elaborate cooking of the Padrón brothers (Juan Carlos and Jonathan) at the Royal Hideaway Corales Beach resort, it’s high time to book a table! Located on the fifth floor of this innovatively designed hotel, the restaurant delights guests with the ocean and sunset views from several of its tables and the high level of service and cuisine, with many of its dishes eliciting a strong emotional response. In keeping with its philosophy, the focus here is on traditional Canary Island recipes (albeit from a creative perspective) and a high level of refinement in its presentation. There’s just a single yet extensive tasting menu along with several wine pairing options (we were particularly impressed and surprised by the pigeon with seasonal cep mushrooms, as well as the intense flavour of the neck of lamb with mint escabeche). One dish that is a mainstay on the menu due to its popularity is the delicious Turrón of Canary Island morcilla and almond praline.
