Grupo Compostelana Norte is the new brand that brings together, under a single name, more than 30 years of culinary expertise in Puerto de la Cruz. It stems from the merger between Grupo El Padrino and the renowned Compostelana brand, and brings together restaurants, pizzerias, its own delivery service and an artisan bakery in the north of Tenerife. This merger is also accompanied by a new website, grupocompostelananorte.com, designed to bring together the group’s entire range in one place.

Why Grupo Compostelana Norte was founded

The merger is not just a name change. Grupo El Padrino and Compostelana shared something unusual in the hospitality industry: decades of day-to-day work in Puerto de la Cruz and a similar approach to cuisine – down-to-earth and unpretentious. Bringing these two legacies together under Grupo Compostelana Norte allows us to streamline our communications, look after each venue more effectively and offer a consistent experience, whether you’re popping in for an artisan pizza, fish fresh from the harbour, or organising a business lunch.

The name «Norte» is no coincidence: it links the group to the north of Tenerife, its place of origin and its defining characteristic. You can read the full story behind this connection on our page at the merger.

What does Grupo Compostelana Norte bring together?

Under this new name, the following coexist: Compostelana Avenue, Compostelana, Plaza del Charco, La Cazuela, The Fisherman, San Amaro, The Lake y Compostelana Delivery. Each venue retains its own character and speciality, ranging from artisan pizza to fresh fish or cuisine designed for groups. If you’d like more details on each one, we have a comprehensive guide to Where to eat in Puerto de la Cruz.

The world in every bite: our philosophy

Under the slogan «The world in every bite», Grupo Compostelana Norte champions an inclusive hospitality experience, designed for all kinds of diners: families, tourists, groups of friends or corporate clients. The concept combines flavours from around the world with local produce, artisanal preparation (from the pizza dough to our own pastries) and a warm, friendly service, without any fuss.

It embodies a way of approaching hospitality that is proud of northern Tenerife whilst remaining open to the world: a philosophy rooted in warmth, craftsmanship and quality, which is evident both in the dining room and in every dish that comes out of the kitchen.

What will change (and what won’t) as a result of the merger

The brand is being reorganised, but the experience isn’t being reinvented. The team, the cuisine and the service at each venue remain the same. What’s changing is the way we communicate this: a shared identity, a single website with direct table booking from each listing, and a clearer way of explaining what each restaurant and pizzeria in the group has to offer, whether you’re coming from the Puerto de la Cruz if you’re just passing through the north of the island.
