that inspire
The restaurant itself is beautifully designed, with lovely décor and a really elegant atmosphere. The service was excellent throughout with friendly, attentive and very professional without ever feeling intrusive.
We all chose the Kensei tasting menu and thoroughly enjoyed it. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic, with plenty of variety across the menu. Particular highlights for us were the ‘Royal’ egg with salmon, which was superb, and the Wagyu, which was exceptional.
It certainly isn’t a cheap evening out, but the quality of the food, surroundings and service make it feel like a genuine special occasion experience. If you’re looking for somewhere a little more memorable while staying in Tenerife, it’s well worth treating yourself.
We’d happily recommend Kensei and would definitely return.
‘Royal’ eggs and the low temperature wagyu were standout dishes.
You will need to book in advance.

🇪🇸Una semana después, todavía resuena una noche muy especial en Kensei.
La llegada de Omakase Krug por primera vez a Canarias convirtió cada pase en una nota y cada copa en parte de una misma composición, creada para encontrar el equilibrio entre la cocina de Víctor Planas y el carácter de Krug.
Gracias a Krug y a todas las marcas que confiaron en Kensei para hacer posible esta edición. Y gracias a quienes nos acompañaron y dieron sentido a una noche que seguimos recordando.

🇪🇸Omakase Vol.4 • Krug Champagne
El pasado viernes aterrizó poe primera vez en Canarias la experiencia Omakase Krug, y la compartimos con una compañía inmejorable. Como si de una orquesta se tratara, vivimos una velada donde cada detalle sonó en perfecta armonía.
Una noche donde la alta cocina de Víctor Planas se puso al servicio del gran protagonista de la mesa: @krugchampagne
Cada pase dialogaba directamente con la copa.
Guiados por el relato magistral de Rodrigo González, fuimos descubriendo cada matiz. Las piezas que recorrimos esa noche fueron:
– Krug Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition
– Krug Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition
– Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition
– Krug Rosé 27ème Édition
– Krug Vintage 2003
– Krug Clos du Mesnil 1998 en Magnum
En definitiva: gastronomía, champagne y tiempo compartidos entre amantes de la buena mesa y el maridaje.
Gracias a cada uno de los que nos acompañaron en esta noche inolvidable.

A finish of distinct character, designed to celebrate that which truly deserves to be fulfilled.
🇪🇸Shokunin · No es solo ser un artesano, es una filosofía de vida que exige una dedicación ciega a la maestría, donde la repetición no aburre, sino que perfecciona.
En KENSEI, detrás de ese corte perfecto, limpio y milimétrico de un sashimi, no solo hay un cuchillo afilado; hay años de respeto por el producto. Detrás de la armonía de sabores que estalla en tu boca, hay un equipo que se mueve con la precisión coreografiada de un reloj suizo.
Porque cuando todo el equipo respira al mismo ritmo y trabaja en perfecta sincronía, el resultado no es solo comida. Es arte.
🇬🇧Shokunin · It is not merely being an artisan; it is a philosophy of life that demands an absolute dedication to mastery, where repetition never dulls, but rather refines.
At KENSEI, behind that perfect, clean and millimetric cut of sashimi, lies far more than a sharp knife; there are years of profound respect for the ingredient. Behind the harmony of flavours that dances upon the palate, there is a team that moves with the choreographed precision of a fine Swiss timepiece.
Because when the entire kitchen breathes at the very same rhythm and works in flawless synchronicity, the result is not merely food. It is art.
