About us

Grupo Compostelana Norte: world cuisine in Puerto de la Cruz

Each of our venues is born with a clear intention: to create places where people enjoy, share and remember moments around a table. Location, atmosphere, service and produce are all part of the same philosophy: to offer honest, carefully crafted experiences accessible to every kind of guest, while always keeping each restaurant's own identity.

Our presence in Puerto de la Cruz and northern Tenerife reflects a very specific way of growing: consolidating gastronomic projects with their own character, connected to their surroundings and designed for diverse audiences, both locals and visitors.

History

Over 30 years in the restaurant business in northern Tenerife

Grupo Compostelana Norte is the result of the merger of two well-established players in Tenerife's restaurant scene: Grupo El Padrino, whose roots go back to 1990, and Grupo Compostelana, with more than three decades on the island. This union was not just structural: it was a shared commitment to grow with judgement, expand the offering and build a brand with greater reach in northern Tenerife. Today, behind every service there is a team that makes it possible to maintain the same standard of quality, attention and care in each of our restaurants.

1990
The origin: El Padrino. The Grandparents' Legacy

The Grandparents' Legacy: It all began here, amid the aroma of the grandparents' recipes and a commitment to local produce. More than a restaurant, it was our home.

2000
Among the stoves: a living legacy.

While other children played outside, Amadeus discovered his calling among pans and fire. This stage marks the learning years, forging the character and discipline that define us today.

2013
A firm step: San Amaro.

With the acquisition of San Amaro, we proved our passion could grow and expand without losing its essence. This marked the start of a new gastronomic vision for the group in the area.

2022
Resilience and flavour: Pizzería El Lago.

Despite the difficulties of 2020, we bet on Pizzería El Lago, diversifying our offering and reaffirming our commitment to giving our guests the very best.

2026
The present: Grupo Compostelana Norte.

Today, with 6 restaurants under our name, we stand as a consolidated Group. We are the result of the union of legacies, respect for the past, and ambition for the future.
