With 14 years of professional experience, Chef Alejandro Mederos honed his craft in one of the world’s most revered culinary regions: Spain’s Basque Country. After three formative years mastering precision techniques and flavor alchemy, he returned to his native Gran Canaria, where he refined his skills alongside the island’s top culinary talents.
In 2020, Alejandro realized his lifelong dream and Anteo was born after extensive reflection and the pursuit of a distinctive identity. It strikes a perfect balance between casual street-style dining and uncompromising quality at its core—creating a gastronomic sanctuary where guests can indulge in the ultimate culinary tribute.
Through his cuisine, Chef Alejandro aims to convey authenticity, joy, and creativity rooted in tradition. It’s his way of sharing everything he has learned throughout his professional journey and lived experiences. The fundamental idea is to maximize the incredible products our islands provide, then play with recipes from around the world.
A testament to resilience: “After nearly a year of renovations, we finally opened our restaurant to the public – only for COVID to force us into lockdown just six weeks later. Through all the uncertainty and nerves, not knowing what would become of us, we’re proud to say that five years later, we’re still here… and now recommended by the Repsol Guide.”
