Zumaque

An unforgettable experience! Coming to this restaurant for anniversary dinner was absolutely the right decision. The food was exquisite - every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. But what truly elevated the entire evening was the wine pairing. Each glass was perfectly matched to the course it accompanied, enhancing the flavors in a way that was simply outstanding. A truly memorable evening from start to finish!

We had an amazing experience with the tasting menu and wine pairing! The volcanic wine was a standout, pairing beautifully with the dishes. The dumplings and croquettes were absolute favorites, and the dessert was so unique—just the right balance of flavors without being too sweet. Definitely a meal to remember! My first experience of a Michelin star restaurant. The staff were super friendly! Definitely recommended.

This is an outstanding restaurant, and I am happy I visited it. You can book a table online, and I recommend taking a menu of six small dishes and tasting the exquisite food they cook here. Each dish is served with a glass of local wine or from mainland Spain. I can't remember the names of the dishes, but look at the photo. It is delicious, and although the portions are small, there are as many as six. After spending more than two hours, you will be satisfied that you spent your evening this way. Cheers 🥂

We booked dinner in advance and weren’t disappointed! We enjoyed the tasting menu, and my favorites were the dumplings, croquettes, the dessert was most unique, not too sweet, just a perfect blend. The only dish I didn’t quite enjoy was prawn carpaccio as it had a bit too much cider in it. When I came first time, there were no free tables in Zumaque and the staff guided us to their bistro just 20 meters away, which turned out a very nice place, too

Beautiful service and food. The staff was very polite and helpful all the time. The food was an incredible and unique experience. The dishes we tried were something innovative and absolutely tasty and well balance. Really good wine selection and the staff always recommend with accuracy. Definitely the best option for a quality meal in Puerto de la Cruz.

The food was amazing and has a perfect score, but service was below all levels. Food was thrown on the table without proper explanation. We had the tasting menu with wines, but did not have the chance to really enjoying it. When we asked to slow down a bit we git a rude answer that that was not possible.

We had the tasting menu and it was great!

Best restaurant in Puerto de la Cruz. Better than the michelin starred Haydeé we visited. Update (2025): Also better than El Taller de Seve Diaz. The palette of the chef is commendable. Far more exciting and interesting than Haydeé and El Taller. One of the first dishes was a scallop drenched in mango foam. We both agreed our minds went somewhere else for a second. I think I became a stock broker in Florida in the 80’s. Croquettes were good. Dumplings were cool. One had a tangy asian-gingery vibe, the other a god damn subliminal curry. Like spelling the words C-U-R-R-Y, but still being interesting, layered and half-sweet. Just well done! Fried shrimp in iceberg lettuce SHOULD have been served in a different lettuce. Tasted EXACTLY like a McChiken at McDonalds (lol). Good though. The prawn ceviche bowl served with onions, roasted corn, beans, cucumber and tiger’s milk was F-U-N! Each bite a new experience, a new direction, a new something! Good job making such a simple dish so exciting! The meat dish had a super hard glaze, and was a tad too heavy for my palette. Tasted like a traditional Norwegian steak meal. The white chocolate sauce with mojito was just fun. Best part of the experience was the music school practicing in the apartments above. The choir practice mixed with the music from the restaurant made it feel like you were in a White Lotus-episode. Service was a bit all over the place, but I’m here for the food, and the food and wine covered for all of it. Fun eating! Update (2025): Visited again this year. Still good and still interesting. The meat dishes tend to go a bit heavy, but the more exotic dishes are heavenly. Like the tuna with coconut ice cream. The Padilla Tinto is really good if you like peppery/volcanic wines. Passion fruit dessert with mojito ice cream is a stroke of genius. Wish I had the recipe.
