Erlantz Gorostiza
Chef at MB Abama** (Guía de Isora, Sta. Cruz de Tenerife)

Erlantz Gorostiza, a native of Getxo (Bizkaia) born in 1981, discovered his passion for cooking at a very young age. After training in a bakery and patisserie, he pursued a career in restaurants such as Andra Mari, El Poblet — now the Quique Dacosta restaurant — El Celler de Can Roca, and Las Rejas, where he worked alongside Manolo de la Osa.
In 2005, he began working with Martín Berasategui, which was a pivotal moment in his career. At the Lasarte restaurant, he worked in every section of the kitchen and was part of the R&D department, before becoming head chef at M.B. in 2010. M.B. is the restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama.
Under Erlantz Gorostiza's leadership, M.B. has become one of the leading names in haute cuisine in the Canary Islands and has maintained its two Michelin stars. His cuisine combines Martín Berasategui's legacy with his own distinctive style, refined technique, and a particular focus on local produce.
