In the heart of Costa Adeje, Restaurante Donaire is positioned as one of the finest restaurants in Tenerife. Thanks to a unique gastronomic experience and a tasting menu that guides diners through a sensory journey. Our cuisine elevates local Canarian produce to a higher level.
Victoria tasting menu: a symphony of flavors
The Victoria tasting menu is our most outstanding creation. Why do we say this? Because it has been designed to provide a comprehensive experience that captures the essence of our culinary proposal.
Our chef, Jesús Camacho, explains, “We constantly compare our service to an almost theatrical staging, where all the elements are millimetrically choreographed.” This tasting menu is structured in three acts, like a play:
Overture
The curtain rises with a series of “snacks” that awaken the palate, from the liquid millet cake to the passion fruit-cilantro sour.
Main Act
This is where Donaire’s creativity shines. You can sample dishes such as beetroot with “macho” vinegar, Aquanaria sea bass, or soldier shrimp with chickpeas and Baġrīr.
These are just a few examples that demonstrate the perfect fusion between local produce and innovative techniques. Creative pastries are present even in Savory dishes, such as goat cheese cheesecake with aubergine and roasted garlic.
Finale
The final act is a tribute to sweetness, with three desserts that are journeys in themselves. We start with a pre-dessert, Amalfi, with lemon and basil. We continue with the Ephemeral Garden of orange and orange blossom until we reach Mont Blanc, a Canarian reinterpretation of the classic French dessert.
Each dish on the Victoria Menu is a work of art, both visual and gustatory. We combine impeccable presentation with surprising flavors that defy expectations, making every bite a memorable experience.
Donaire tasting menu: the concentrated essence
For those seeking a more concise yet equally impressive experience, the Donaire tasting menu offers a condensed version of the restaurant’s gastronomic offerings. Although shorter, this menu does not skimp on creativity or quality.
The overture surprises with unique creations such as air bread with yeast ice cream and Osetra caviar. The main act stands out with dishes such as local white fish and a casserole of tapioca and sea lettuce. Once again, Jesús Camacho shows us his talent for creating art with different flavors.
Meanwhile, although shorter, the finale elegantly closes the experience, followed by our petit-fours, the house brand. Each dish is a sample of the culinary virtuosity that characterizes this haute cuisine restaurant in Tenerife.
A journey through the Canary Islands
What makes Donaire’s proposal unique is its commitment to local ingredients. Jesús Camacho and his team work closely with Canarian producers to obtain the best products from the land and the sea. Each ingredient, from millet and gofio to Aquanaria sea bass and black pork, tells a story of the Canary Islands.
This approach guarantees the freshness and quality of the ingredients. It also allows us to offer you an experience based on the Canary Islands but with a sophisticated and international touch.
Pairing: the perfect complement
A careful pairing can accompany both menus to elevate the experience further. The selection of wines, which includes both local and international options, is designed to complement and enhance the flavors of each dish. In this way, we ensure that we create perfect harmonies that enrich the gastronomic experience.
At Donaire, each tasting menu is more than a succession of dishes; it is a sensory journey that celebrates gastronomy with an authentic, bold, and creative style. Will you opt for the Victoria Menu or the Donaire Menu? In either case, an unforgettable experience awaits you. When you experience it, you will understand why Donaire has earned its place among the best restaurants in Tenerife.
