Donaire restaurant is redefining the boundaries between creative pastry and haute cuisine. Under the direction of chef Jesús Camacho, Donaire is now a beacon of gastronomic innovation that has been awarded a MICHELIN star. At Donaire, Jesús Camacho brings precision and meticulousness to savoury cuisine.

Creative pastry – The pastry chef of the savoury

The protagonist of creative pastry is Jesús Camacho, and he is not a conventional chef. His training and passion for pastry have shaped a unique vision of cooking.

“The conception of my cuisine comes from a pastry chef,” says Jesús. This philosophy translates into a succession of courses that seem like the showcase of a sophisticated pastry shop. With a fundamental Canarian touch, Jesús manages to compose a balanced menu, made up of savoury and sweet dishes.

Jesús’ training began in the kitchens of “El Patio”. There, under the tutelage of a meticulous French pastry chef, Jesús discovered his true calling. Since then, he immersed himself in the world of meringue, icing and chocolate, until in 2023 he took the reins of Donaire and decided to transform its path.

When savoury becomes sweet

At Donaire, Tenerife, signature desserts don’t wait until the end of the meal. Each dish bears the unmistakable stamp of Jesús’ creative pastry. Rosquete de millo or air bread with yeast ice cream are some of the savoury creations that defy diners’ expectations.

The Victoria Tasting Menu menu is structured like an opera; you can enjoy a symphony of flavours that demonstrates Jesús’ mastery in the art of pastry applied to savoury. Snacks are the gateway to an original experience.

Innovative desserts in Tenerife: the icing on the cake

Although the entire experience at Donaire is imbued with Jesús’s pastry spirit, the desserts at Restaurante Donaire remain one of the highlights of the gastronomic experience. The sweet journey includes a tribute to citrus fruits inspired by the Amalfi Coast and a Canarian version of the classic Mont Blanc, where fried banana replaces the traditional chestnut.

The petits fours are a true jewel in the crown. These miniatures of high-end pastry are edible works of art that concentrate a multitude of techniques in each bite.

These little treasures are Jesús’s personal seal and you can find them in different presentations and colours. In short, a feast for the eyes and the palate.

The presentation of the dishes at Donaire is as important as their flavour. Jesús collaborates with local artisans and renowned brands to create tableware that perfectly complements his creations. Each dish is a visual work of art that anticipates the explosion of flavours to come.

A gastronomic journey without borders

Although Jesús emphasizes Canarian products, his cuisine is not limited to the archipelago. He has an extraordinary curiosity that leads him to experiment with techniques and ingredients from all over the world.

This is how he always manages to surprise us with a touch of creative pastry. In each dish we serve at your table you will witness a story of fusion and creativity.Our unique and innovative proposal is changing the culinary panorama of Tenerife.
