More and more holidaymakers from around the world are flocking to Tenerife. Resorts are always springing up and improving to compete with each other, providing a wide variety of options for all visitors. Of these, the Bahia del Duque is one of the very best. Alongside all the luxury you’d expect from a high-quality hotel, it offers a staggering range of cuisines from all over the world. Read on to learn more about the culinary delights you can sample while staying at the Bahia.
The Hotel
The Canary Islands are renowned for their sunny weather, golden beaches and deep blue Atlantic waters. They’re some of the most striking examples of natural beauty you’ll see and, as the largest of the bunch, Tenerife has a lot to boast about. Located in picturesque Playa del Duque on the south of the island, the Bahia gives you a stylish and comfortable base.
As with most Tenerife resorts, a variety of accommodation types are available, including spacious villas and houses for those who really want to splash out. Guests also get access to a sports centre, pool and private beach. Children’s activities are available, as well as a spa – the perfect place to get some peace and quiet.
A World of Fine Dining
All this is great, but it’s the food that really sets the Bahia apart from other Tenerife resorts. The hotel boasts nine restaurants in total, but here we’ll focus on five of our favourites.
La Hacienda
This laidback, Mexican-inspired eatery is the perfect place to enjoy some exotic flavours in a relaxed atmosphere. Chef Armando Saldanha keeps the food innovative, while the excellent cocktail menu gives guests a great reason to stay at their tables long into the evening.
La Trattoria
It’s all about pasta and pizza at this Italian-themed bistro, where guests are invited to enjoy a nightly show on Central Plaza (and accompany their meal with some world-class wines).
El Bernegal
Breakfasts and buffets are the main attractions at this popular daytime diner. It’s open for dinner, of course, but most visitors tend to explore further afield for their evening meals. Still, there’s plenty of reason to visit: Bernegal is considered the hotel’s main restaurant, and the food quality is high.
Sensu
Moving well away from Europe and the Atlantic now, we turn to perhaps the Bahia’s most distinctive eatery. As you may have guessed from the name, Sensu specialises in Japanese cuisine, which you can try as an a la carte main course or from the robatayaki barbecue grill or sushi bar if you want a truly authentic experience.
La Brasserie
Finally, La Brasserie offers perhaps the most high-class dining experience in the hotel. Its two Michelin stars are well earned by its team of experienced chefs, such as Pierre Rásimont, and esteemed manager Yoseba Llarena. They ensure that the food on offer here is truly top quality.
If you’re a lover of food, you can’t do much better when it comes to Tenerife resorts than the Bahia. Add in the scenic views – the Atlantic, the hotel pool and mountain backdrops – and spacious, beautiful rooms, and you’re in store for a truly unforgettable holiday.
