We recently had the opportunity to enjoy the experience Around the table at LaBoh, Bohemia Suites and Spa hotel. If this is the first time you read about this, pay attention to the following lines because They have a very original, creative and exclusive proposal for lovers of gastronomy in Gran Canaria.
Around the table, Bohemia Suites and Spa hotel
The Bohemia Suites and Spa, in English beach It is a five-star hotel with a strong commitment to gastronomy and cocktails. Recently, one of his restaurants, LaBoh (from LaBohratio y LaBohemia), has created an innovative experience called Around the table. Here chef Juan Bertolín and his team develop their creations and dishes inspired by his travels. The genre they use for their creations is mainly local and national products, although sometimes they include ingredients from other parts of the world..
The kitchen or laboratory is visible to the diners, so you can see the process involved in each dish.. The experience includes a tasting of 11 bites served around the table shared by a maximum of 8 diners. Pairing is optional, which we definitely recommend including. Despite sharing a table, we loved the atmosphere they have created of being able to share impressions with others, the exceptional music and the attention of the staff. All 10. If you like, let's get to the point and tell you what we ate.
11 Bites and 8 diners Around the table
Then we leave you with photos and description of the dishes we tried. Exceptionally, 12 bites instead of 11, how lucky!
1st Bite: yesev puri of Guía cheese, banana, raisin, cider and Iberian ham.

3rd Bite: candied eggplant, bacon slice, miso soup and blackberry honey.

The menu is changed once a month and as Juan Bertolín told us, They usually include local raw materials, such as the Flor de Guía cheese, the fula, the cheeses from the Finca de Uga in Lanzarote, some wines, etc. We assure you that what you try during the Around the Table experience will not leave you indifferent. These are “experiments” that you will not have tried before.
Service and attention
Throughout the tasting, Chef Juan Bertolín explains the ingredients that are part of each bite. As is done with every dish, the sommelier explains the wine that accompanies it if you hire the pairing. It should be noted that part of the wines were from the Canary Islands, as can be the sparkling malvasía from El Grifo (Lanzarote) or the white from Los Hoyos (Gran Canaria), also of the malvasía variety.
Finally, The pastry chef in charge of LaBoh proceeds to explain the desserts. In short, a complete dinner show, dish presentation, unique flavors and service. Like someone going to a show, really. In addition, the explanation of each dish is also given in English and German.
Price of the experience Around the table
Of course, like every show, its price must be paid. The cost of the Around the Table tasting at LaBoh is €85 per person. As we said, The pairing is separate and has a price of €40., but it is optional. However, we strongly recommend including it. As you may have seen, it's not just about the show, cuisine and exclusive environment.
You have to keep in mind that the raw material that you will taste during Around the Table is of top quality and usually at high prices in the market: oysters, foie, caviar, wagyu meat, local fish, wines from limited harvests, etc. Besides, The tasting lasts around 3 hours. That is, if we analyze everything, the price we can even say is cheap.
