The Sanabria restaurant, located in the Hotel Barceló Santa Cruz Contemporáneo, has established itself as a meeting point that connects the residents of Santa Cruz de Tenerife with their rich culinary heritage, offering a contemporary vision of emblematic dishes.

This establishment, which opened its doors a few months ago, aims to actively integrate into the life of the capital of Tenerife, becoming another neighbor for its residents and an ideal host for visitors. Situated on the Rambla santacrucera, the hotel has found the perfect place to be part of the city's dynamic.
Sanabria presents itself as a guardian of Santa Cruz's culinary memory, offering a gastronomic proposal that goes beyond simple dining. It is a space where traditional flavors such as cod and tortilla from La Garriga, cockles from Kiosco Las Paragüitas, escacho from Bar Retama, or arepa from Canaima are reinterpreted, transforming them into contemporary and revised versions.

"This proposal is alive and open to receiving inspiration from the residents of Santa Cruz, open to the rest of the island's corners joining in, because this is just the beginning of what might, one day, be the definitive gastronomic museum of Tenerife."

The restaurant's management has managed to translate its culinary universe into an everyday format without diluting the depth of flavor or the coherence of its discourse, maintaining the emotion evoked by good memories. The proposal is a story of Santa Cruz, dish by dish.
In addition to the gastronomic offer, the hotel features BheAven Macusamba, a rooftop on top of the Hotel Barceló Santa Cruz Contemporáneo. This space offers panoramic views from the coast to the mountains, and its cocktail bar, managed by a renowned professional, stirs the essence of the island into creative liquid combinations, such as the La Recova cocktail or versions inspired by La Rambla and the La Flor de Alicante ice cream parlor.
