Wow... what can I say that other reviewers haven't already said? A little bit of creativity clearly adds to making a place stand out above the rest. Lebeche has creativity and then some. I arrived for my booking without a big appetite, but I still wanted to be served something worthy of booking what is one of Santa Cruz's highly recommended restaurants. Eating light but still being amazed might often present a challenge. Lebeche more than met the challenge. Whilst there will be meals to suit all appetites, if yours happens to be light, I have the perfect solution. Ceviche of Gambon followed by an Ensalada Lebeche with a Tiramisu desert. The photos will best describe a meal ably assisted by a local white wine and a finishing flourish of a maciatto. Next time I'm in Santa Cruz, I'm coming back to Lebeche... it might even be the reason for returning!

I asked ChatGPT for the best paella in Tenerife. It recommended me Leheche, and so we made a reservation and came to try. We got here a bit early but Gustavo was so kind to give us the best table in the house. We went with all of his recommendations and from wine to tapas to paella to desert we had the best Spanish food we ever tried. Even the table next to us, expressed their jealousy of our table. Thanks so much for your hospitality and for this unique and authentic Spanish experience. From the bottom of our hearts we recommend Leheche and Gustavo. Xoxo

One of the best restaurant in S.Cruz !Amazing food , good service in a beautiful area.. if you can talk to the owner, Pepe , you could understand why it’s an amazing place . He loves his job and you can feel it. You have to try the lamb, it’s so delicious

Wow just... blown away. Amazing food from start to finish. The starters were good, the small raviolis / pastries that the waiter recommended were divine and despite being deep fried were perfectly warm but not too hot to burn your mouth. The fideua was very good, well cooked and tasted excellent. My only regret is not having space for dessert. Looking forward to coming back!

Highly recommended! I think the food quality even deserves a Michelin rating. A MUST GO in Tenerife! We sat in the outdoor area which is in a vibrant street filled with restaurants. The indoor area looked very nice as well with a little fountain in the centre and a high ceiling. We love the pork starter the most (forgot its name) - the pork is roasted just right, put on top of a bite of mashed potato and with some ‘honey balls’ beside it. Altogether gives a very fine and sophisticated taste giving high end molecular gastronomy vibes. REALLY MIND BLOWING! The paella tasted above average as well and well presented, just not as surprising as the pork starter. No matter how full you are, you just can’t miss the desserts. Both the chocolate cake and cheese cake just tasted perfect and giving that high end feeling as well.
