Nub

Nub is a Michelin-starred restaurant in Costa Adeje, Tenerife, that has established a distinctive identity through its creative fusion of Italian and Chilean culinary traditions. The restaurant is led by Italian-Chilean couple Silvia Fuentes and Andrea Bernardi, whose shared cultural heritage shapes every aspect of the menu — from the philosophical approach to ingredients to the flavor profiles and presentation that make each dish feel genuinely personal and hard to categorize. The tasting menu is the only format offered, and it evolves regularly, driven by the availability of seasonal ingredients sourced with care from local Canarian producers and trusted international suppliers. Dishes draw on the structural elegance of Italian gastronomy — handmade pasta, precise saucing, a reverence for quality product — and fuse it with the bold, layered flavors and South American techniques that reflect Fuentes’ Chilean roots. The result is a menu of genuine originality: visually striking, conceptually coherent, and consistently satisfying. The dining room is intimate and contemporary, with a focused atmosphere that reflects the precision of the kitchen’s ambitions. Service is attentive and personalized, with the team guiding guests through each course with genuine enthusiasm and cultural knowledge. The beverage program complements the cross-cultural spirit of the menu, with a well-chosen wine and cocktail selection. Nub is a must-visit for adventurous diners seeking an experience that is impossible to find anywhere else in the Canary Islands.
