    Over hyped and very expensive. The only positive note was my partner’s steak, which was good (but his sauce was cold and gloopy). Firstly, it was 50 mins between sitting down and our drinks arriving. We flagged down a waiter but he said he was busy with his own tables and didn’t want to help. Drinks eventually arrived just before our food - our neighbouring table even clapped when they saw our drinks had finally arrived. I ordered the lobster, which was served with just a few green leaves, for €43. It was small and over-cooked. Service was totally absent. There was one large table and the waiters seemed to be overly focussed on them. We couldn’t wait to just pay and get out of there. There are far better restaurants in Puerto.

    I did not enjoy. The house chrizo was nothing special, my steak under down, the house Red way too young and sticky (alocholic). In essence its steak and chips with a side veg and every item needs to be spot on or it all falls apart. Lovely room and professional staff. But no hidden gem.

    Beautiful steakhouse restaurant overlooking an Atlantic cove. Great service but feel the food is very overpriced for what you get. We ordered prawn cocktail to start at €19 each, and got a handful of cooked warm prawns (not even King Prawns), very little sauce and tons of pineapple (!!!???) - very disappointing and strange! For mains we ordered the T-bone to share, and yes it was delicious but at nearly €80 was over the top expensive when all you got with it was some chips and a tiny bit of veg.

    My God. This place is pretty amazing! The steaks and meats were tender and seasoned so well. You don't have to add anything to it. It's worth the price you pay and its right across from Loro Parque. The vegetable sides should be a bigger portion though. Staff was very welcoming and professional.

    Ok restaurant, good location and beautiful sea view. Unfortunately, steaks were not ok. We asked for "medium," but they were cooked as "well done"- hard and almost not eatable. It's a really shame for such an expensive steakhouse to cook like this ... Disappointed. Desserts were good.

    Great for family, you can come and queue 5 min before opening usually opens 13:00 int the afternoon, perfect to go after you do Loro Park (if you come by car you can leave it in the Loro Park parking which is 4€ / day , the restaurant is literally 2 minutes across the road from Loro Park. This restaurant was awarded 🥇 a Michellin Star in 2020 so the prices are higher than the usual restaurants, due to food presentation , waiters/waitresses professionalism , food / ingredients quality etc. highly recommend, we had Ribeye Steaks 🥩 were perfectly cooked medium-well , and super tender. You will get bread and humous from the house.

    Brunelli’s is such a good restaurant! As Americans in the Canary Islands, we’re certainly a rare sight. When we first saw the signs for Brunelli’s while at Loro Parque (which we also highly recommend), we were intrigued to say the least. The advertisements proclaimed it as an American style steakhouse. Not quite sure what to think, we decided to give it a shot- and we were not disappointed! Honestly, the first question we had as simply- where do they source the meat?? After all, the Canary Islands aren’t known for their beef industry. That question was answered soon after walking in. There is a large, glass walled, walk in cooler near the entry. All of the available cuts are displayed, including country of origin. They had beef from Nebraska and Argentina, lamb from New Zealand, and more. It looks like they import large primal and sub-primal cuts and then do the aging and final cuts in house. How did they do? Absolutely amazing. I had a well marbled, perfectly seasoned rib eye, and my bride enjoyed a delightfully tender sirloin. If we were in the US, both would undoubtedly be USDA Prime. They were melt in your mouth good. Besides the steak, the bread selection was wonderful, and the potatoes were very good. We even discovered our new favorite Canarian wine as we split a bottle. Finishing out with desert, I had a cheesecake that was melt in your mouth creamy, with a perfectly blended strawberry sauce and flavorful crust. The cost was significantly lower than you would expect at a Micheline star restaurant. Our complete meal (appetizer, a bottle of wine, steaks, sides and deserts was under 110€. And it was worth every cent. For dinner, Brunelli’s is another one of our “musts” for the Canary Islands. I will give one word of caution about every steakhouse in Spain- order your steak slightly more done than you would in the US, and it will arrive perfect.

    My partner and I splashed out and bought the 1kg tomahawk steak. It was cooked just how we asked. By far, the best steak I have ever eaten. The restaurant definitely deserves the Michelin star 🌟 staff were lovely and attentive and even gave us a free side. Beautiful view of the sea from the restaurant. Highly recommend this fantastic restaurant!!

    Excellent service, waiters were really friendly and helpful! The restaurant is beautiful, has a really nice atmosphere and it faces the ocean. Highly recommend!

    It’s not worthy at all, this place is just marketing. They call themselves a steakhouse, but they can’t serve one decent piece of meat. They messed up with BOTH meats and all they could say was “sorry”. We spent 8 days in the surroundings and there are at least three other restaurants with better meat, better service and better price.

  • 3/5 DOMIS K. 1 year ago on Google
    We are used to high cuisine, but this one does not correspond to it at all. dry steaks!!! French fries overcooked, without a tasteful arrangement on the plate. vegetables average. price for 4 people including 2 bottles of wine, 2 drinks and sweets for €300? absolutely not. Nice stuff, views.

    I came here with my boyfriend and we both agree it is the most amazing place! Absolutely beautiful view, incredible food and the staff were all very lovely and accommodating. Service as a whole was great. Absolutely would (and have) recommend this to anybody visiting the area.

  • 1/5 Rasmus Damgaard J. 1 year ago on Google
    LOW VALUE FOR MONEY! What looks like a high-end restaurant with a good view turned out to be a complete mess! The ceviche as a starter was good, but anything after that was VERY disappointing. The black angus rib-eye was well-done instead of medium-rare as I ordered. The meat was bland without flavor and grainy from being frozen. And for that they charged 55euro. How can you ruin such a good piece of meat is a riddle to me. The three waiters were running around like headless chickens even though the place was far from full (aprox. 20 people). They never once stopped to ask if the food was good or if I needed anything. When they cleaned the table they just took my plate without asking about the food or addressing me in any way. They forgot the wine that I ordered for the main course. They couldn't find my reservation when I first arrived. Rarely have I been so disappointed! Considering this is a steakhouse it's quite embarrassing that the fish dish was the best.

    I discovered this charming steakhouse, exuding a cozy ambiance with delightful views (not every table is by the windows, but you can still catch glimpses of the sea). The food lived up to expectations—the steak, cooked to a perfect medium-rare, was a highlight, and the Vasque cheesecake was truly top-notch. However, I wouldn't vouch for the risotto; it fell short with a watery consistency and lacked the anticipated burst of flavor, especially considering it was supposed to feature black truffle, a note barely discernible.

    Had a great lunch experience with my partner. The variety of steak on offer was great we went with a multi-meat plate and really enjoyed it. Definitely worth visiting anytime I am in Puerto de la cruz. Will wholeheartedly recommend

  • 5/5 L P. 6 months ago on Google
    The staff was nice and friendly, the food was really tasty and the portions generous ! They have a big kinda window with a view on the sea that they opened shortly after we arrived, but actually it was too dark to see much from our table, I guess it's a cool experience during the day though!

  • 5/5 Christine A. 6 months ago on Google
    Absolutely loved this place, beautiful atmosphere, very clean and staff a pleasure. They even done a birthday cake 🎂 free of charge. Fantastic service 👏 keep up the amount team work

  • 5/5 Florence C. 5 months ago on Google
    Saw the advertisement for brunellis all over Puerto de la Cruz and decided to go there after the visit to loro parque for dinner. Didn't realize it was a Michelin star restaurant, but the steak was really tender and juicy and the starters that we ordered were really good as well. Definitely the best steak (I got the Black Angus Ribeye) I ever had for sure. Highly recommended if you want to splurge a little. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try the desserts as I was extremely full but if I went to tenerife again will definitely go back to brunellis.

  • 5/5 Vaidotas G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great spot to have lunch right after a visit in Loro Parque. The quality of food is definitely worth the price. The view into the ocean raises the place into another level.

  • 4/5 Reyndert W. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow what a view! Spectaculair. The location couldn’t be more dramatic on this cliff. The ambiance and interior very good. Bit of a mix of styles and coherency lost a little bit that’s minor details. Food wise a little below expectation and we have been here before at least three times. Still would come back here any day! The red house wine and dry aged t bone from Nebraska with a Caesar salad on the side would be my recommendation.

  • 2/5 bndzorro 1 year ago on Google
    Service is great, however food at this place is overrated. I had a salad, ribeye with fries and cheesecake. The green stuff was not bad, but just normal. The ribeye tasted ok, however the fries tasted like they were made from 1-2 days old potatoes. Cheesecake was not any revolution, you will get better one from the supermarket. Save yourself the money and time and go somewhere else. If this place was cheaper, it would have gotten a star extra, but this is supposed to be a higher quality dining place with a higher pricepoint. Not worth it

  • 5/5 Ben 2 years ago on Google
    One of if not the best steakhouses on the island. Everything was very high quality and tasted really good. The service was also very good as staff where friendly and very attentive. Great location too by the water

  • 5/5 Shez E. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing view with great qualty steak! We went there after visiting Loro Parque and despite this being a posh place and us looking like we just went for a hike, they didn't judge us or make us feel unwelcome! Service was absolute top and the food was well worth the price!

  • 5/5 Greg M. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing place and food top class service and wonderful staff, great knowledge of their steak, shooting a video last time we were there didn't disturb the experience, excellent price for the food and service, spectacular view's and will definitely be returning later this year. Update 04.09.19 again excellent food and service don't think you'd get better steak yummy

  • 5/5 Paula N. 2 years ago on Google
    First time visiting this steak house and WOW it was amazing the steak was cooked to perfection the sides were seasoned perfectly. You get what you pay for and this was so worth the money, we went at night so it was dark and we couldn't see the sea but we could hear the waves, its in a perfect setting. The staff were very welcoming and nothing was too much too ask. You get plenty of time between courses to absorb the ambiance of the surroundings, its just lovely, not once did we feel pressured to hurry up. Perfect will definitely visit again if we are in the area. Thank you 😊

  • 5/5 Mark J. 4 years ago on Google
    o say I wasn't expecting much would be an understatement. I'd seen many street adverts and posters for Brunelli's with the strapline 'opposite Loro Parque' and due to the popularity of Loro Parque as a tourist attraction, assumed that the restaurant would be part of a chain like Foster's Hollywood... How wrong I was! The walls on the walk from the entrance to the 'reception desk' are covered with photos of famous people who have eaten there - footballers, actors, musicians, politicians etc. - and once inside the place is like a luxury restaurant. You can see the open kitchen with their famous 'Southbend oven (unique in the Canary Islands) which cooks at over 800ºC to immediately seal the pores and enhance the taste while keeping the the meat juicy and tender inside' (this quote is from their flyer/business card) as you walk to your table. Super-professional waiters and waitresses, sommelier and a very formal cutlery arrangement. I felt particularly under-dressed having just come from Loro Parque! And the views from the enormous window across the sea/ocean were incredible. The food was fantastic - the burger and the solomillo were cooked perfectly to order for us both as we have quite specific and different tastes - and was accompanied by a selection of mini jars of Heinz condiments, such as mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise etc. Two mains, a bottle of Rioja in a place like that, with the service and the views afforded us for about €70 was super value and I'd recommend Brunelli's to anyone.

    Nice view, excelent food and friendly service.

  • 4/5 Adam Karl F. 2 years ago on Google
    Was good but was expecting a bit better. For example one of the meats wasn't cooked to our likings. Nevertheless, the service, ambience and food was good.

  • 5/5 gary m. 2 years ago on Google
    great meat restaurant and super friendly staff. 5 stars!

  • 5/5 Dana E. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food, absolutely stunning views and great service. Try the rubia gallega / gallician steak, it's traditional. When sharing a steak, ask for a hot stone so you can cook it to your liking if the other likes it rare. Really nothing negative to say about this place.
