Tabaiba

Tabaiba draws its name from a native Macaronesian plant, symbolizing a philosophy deeply connected to the Canarian landscape, heritage, and ingredient provenance. The restaurant’s culinary approach blends avant-garde techniques with a chaotic yet respectful homage to traditional Canarian gastronomy. Sustainability lies at the heart of its kitchen ethos, prioritizing zero-kilometer sourcing and local products. Chef Abraham Ortega, trained at the Hotel Escuela de Canarias and seasoned across mainland Spain and Europe, channels his culinary roots inspired by family cooking into Tabaiba’s inventive offerings. Recognized with a Bib Gourmand in 2020 and later awarded a Michelin star, Ortega also holds titles such as Best Canarian Chef Worldwide and was a finalist in the Iberian San Pellegrino Young Chef competition. Tabaiba’s young and dynamic team delivers tasting menus that merge high cuisine with familiar family flavors, showcasing a creative and transgressive interpretation of Canarian fare anchored in local tradition and sustainability.
