The story

Brunelli's Steakhouse, Puerto de la Cruz – Michelin-Recommended Steakhouse in Tenerife

Brunelli’s Steakhouse in Puerto de la Cruz is a place that takes its meat seriously. Located in the north of Tenerife, the restaurant describes itself as “the best steakhouse this side of the Atlantic,” and the cooking method lives up to the claim. The kitchen relies on a Southbend oven—unique in the Canary Islands—that reaches over 800 degrees Celsius. This intense heat sears the meat in seconds, creating a perfectly caramelized crust while keeping the interior tender and juicy.

The menu highlights cuts like Chateaubriand, taken from the top of the tenderloin, and Chuletón de rubia gallega, a ribeye from Galicia prized for its juiciness. Beyond the steaks, starters such as the Brunelli’s salad, homemade chorizo, and a creamy cheesecake round out the meal. The atmosphere is inspired by the most select style of the American steakhouse, with a large window overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

This commitment to quality has earned Brunelli’s a Michelin Recommended distinction in the 2026 guide, a recognition that reflects the restaurant’s focus on premium ingredients and precise technique. In a town known for its coastal charm, Brunelli’s stands out as a destination for anyone serious about steak.
