our philosophy

Vegetable-forward, flavour first

We love cooking with vegetables for their colour, texture and flavour. Meat, fish and seafood belong at our table too, prepared with the same thought and care.

Our Spanish and French influences meet whole ingredients and a little curiosity. Comfort and freshness can share the same plate.

Vegetable-forward.
Not vegetarian-only.

the experience

Small Dining Room. Personal Hospitality.

Tenedor is a cozy, chef-driven restaurant designed for slow evenings, conversation, and connection.

Our intimate dining room seats 10–12 guests, with a small seasonal patio for 8 guests during warmer months. We cook and serve our guests personally, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that feels closer to a European neighbourhood wine bar than a traditional restaurant.

Because we prepare most dishes fresh each day in limited quantities, reservations and reservation confirmations help us reduce waste and offer the best possible experience.
