Kazan

Top choice in Santa Cruz de Tenerife


Kazan's Michelin star has assured it a large fanbase in town and far beyond. The setting: lightly polished wood and beige fabric chairs, muted and understated yet stylish. The food: the freshest ingredients coaxed into beautifully formed, delightful Japanese presentations. If in doubt, aim for the daily suggestions. The name Kazan and the kanji 火山 on the door simply mean 'Volcano'. Reserve.
