Muxgo

Muxgo, located in the Hotel Santa Catalina Royal Hideaway in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, offers a formal dining experience that merges tradition with innovation. Led by chef Borja Marrero, the restaurant embodies a commitment to sustainability and local culture through a refined atmosphere in the city center. The cuisine focuses on creative, territory-based dishes crafted exclusively from zero-kilometer products sourced from local suppliers and chef Marrero’s own ecological farm. This approach highlights the freshness and natural quality of Canary Islands ingredients, reinterpreting traditional recipes with contemporary techniques to reveal Gran Canaria’s rich flavors and textures. Chef Borja Marrero, originally from Tejeda, Gran Canaria, trained at Escuela de Hostelería Hofmann and gained experience in renowned kitchens like Ferrán Adriá and Arzak, as well as international exposure in Mexico. Muxgo evolved from his earlier sustainable project Texeda, now showcasing a sustainable gastronomy recognized by the first Green Michelin Star in the Canary Islands in 2023 and a Red Michelin Star in 2024 for its innovation and local focus. The restaurant integrates research and ethical production to support the local economy and preserve cultural heritage.
