M.B. Restaurant - M.B is the signature restaurant of the renowned Basque chef Martín Berasategui. Today, Martín’s inspired interpretations of Spanish cuisine have made him a household name throughout Spain and the rest of the world. His cooking is characterized not just by its creativity and inventiveness but also by a profound understanding of flavour and a deep respect for ingredients: qualities that can be found in abundance at M.B. The restaurant headed in Tenerife by Chef Erlantz Gorostiza was awarded in 2010 with a Michelin star. The 2014 Michelin Guide for Spain and Portugal continues to recognize the gourmet destination’s exceptional gastronomic standards both by retaining this star and awarding a second.

Kabuki - Decorated in a stylishly minimalist colour palette of red and black, Abama Kabuki boasts one Michelin star. This Asian restaurant in Spain is overseen by the Spanish chef Ricardo Sanz, whose restaurants in Madrid, Kabuki and Kabuki Wellington are considered as the best Japanese restaurants in Europe, also holding Michelin Stars. Ricardo is justly famous for his clever fusion of traditional Japanese influences and modern Western culinary techniques, as well as for his carefully sourced ingredients. Kabuki’s beautifully prepared sushi, sashimi and tempura dishes make highly imaginative use of Canary Island ingredients such as locally caught bluefish, along with exotic specialties such as Wagyu Kobe beef.

El Mirador - With a large, thatched roof and wooden beams inspired by the architecture of Bali, El Mirador (the viewpoint) certainly lives up to its name: it enjoys perhaps the most enviable location of all of Ritz Carlton Abama restaurants, with magnificent panoramic views across the Atlantic Ocean towards La Gomera Island. Open for dinner, the restaurant also benefits from a wonderful outdoor terrace and garden, and its own secluded infinity pool.

Txoko - Txoko represents a triumph of culinary creativity from world-renowned chef Martín Berasategui. Characterized by his trademark stamps of inventiveness, profound understanding of flavor and deep respect for ingredients, the restaurant - with Erlantz Gorostiza at the helm - offers a contemporary dining experience inspired by the roots of traditional Basque cuisine.

Fine Dining

M.B.Restaurant M.B is the signature restaurant at Abama Resort of the renowned Basque chef Martín Berasategui. Martín’s all-consuming passion for cooking began early in his life: he learned his trade at the age of 14 while helping out at the San Sebastian fish restaurant owned by his mother. Ten years later Martín’s own restaurant in Lasarte had earned its first Michelin star, and by 2001 he had brought that number to three - the highest accolade for any chef, and a tally he has maintained to this day. Today, Martín’s inspired interpretations of Mediterranean cuisine have made him a household name throughout Spain and the rest of the world. His cooking is characterized not just by its creativity and inventiveness but also by a profound understanding of flavour and a deep respect for ingredients: qualities that can be found in abundance at M.B. The restaurant headed in Tenerife by chef Paolo Casagrande recently awarded its first Michelin star (2009).

Kabuki Abama Kabuki, the Canary Island outpost of the Madrid-born Japanese fusion concept has been awarded its first Michelin star in 2012 based on the quality, mastery of technique, personality and consistency of its food.

Under the direction of 28 year old Executive Chef Daniel Franco this prestigious win positions Abama Golf & Spa Resort as the only hotel in Spain with two Michelin star-rated restaurants. This new accolade further strengthens Abama’s reputation for gastronomic excellence growing its Michelin stable, which includes seven Michelin starred Martin Berasategui’s M.B. restaurant.

Dishes at Abama Kabuki combine the elegance and technical style of Japanese cooking with traditional Canarian produce and dishes. This is evident in Franco’s Usuzukuri of Cherne fish where Usuzukuri cuts of local fish are served layered over the black potatoes of the Canary Islands together with the region’s signature ‘Mojo’ sauce.

Franco is also dedicated to the Slow Food and ecological movements ensuring that all produce (where possible) is sourced locally, supporting local farms and businesses, keeping food sustainable and organic, grown without the use of harmful synthetics and chemicals.

The Kabuki concept was launched by chef Ricardo Sanz in 2000 with Kabuki Restaurant in Madrid. The concept was a result of the chef’s creative culinary development of tapas combined with his training by Japanese culinary master Masao Kikuchi of the legendary Tokyo Taro Restaurant. Ricardo Sanz opened a second Kabuki outpost – Abama Kabuki – in 2006 followed by a third back in Madrid in 2007 – Kabuki Wellington. All Kabuki restaurants now hold Michelin stars.
