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 here! 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 dishes such as the onion soup and “flan roto”, the clam and mussel combination, the magical “sweet tree” that is served along with the petits fours, as well as one of the restaurant’s signature dishes, the superb “turrón” of Canary Island morcilla with almond praline.
