Restaurant · Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain

San Sebastián 57

Contemporary Canarian market cooking shaped by chef Alberto González Margallo’s Cantabrian background and a tasting menu called Caminar.

About San Sebastián 57

San Sebastián 57 is steps from Mercado Nuestra Señora de África, and its use of seasonal produce reflects that proximity. Head chef Alberto González Margallo was born in Cantabria and has made the relationship between northern Spain and the Canary Islands a defining feature of his cooking. Guía Repsol describes tradition, creativity and spoon dishes; Michelin notes the Caminar tasting menu alongside the à la carte offer.

Black grouper cooked in the Bilbao style and grilled octopus with black-potato foam are among the dishes highlighted by the guides. The restaurant offers a contemporary reading of Canarian cuisine, with Atlantic fish, market ingredients and an extensive wine list. Its dining room is modern and intimate, and the service pays attention to the pace of a meal.

Google Maps reviews praise the ingredients, fish, tartare and friendly staff. Some guests say quality comes at a price; others describe generous portions and suggest sharing plates. Guía Repsol records one Sun in 2025, and Michelin includes the restaurant in its selection. Its location pairs naturally with a walk around La Recova.

In brief

Canarian market cuisine; Atlantic fish, black grouper and seasonal produce.
