Located in the municipality of Arucas, a family business with nearly 70 years of history has been transformed by its third generation into Reverso 1957. This venue, which originally focused on distributing spirits and food products, now stands out for its emphasis on uniqueness and quality, providing a distinct gastronomic proposal on the island.
“"We are the reverse of the label."
The philosophy of Reverso 1957 centers on differentiation, featuring a wine catalog not found elsewhere on the island, alongside a curated selection of spirits, gourmet preserves, and premium olive oils. The establishment is also the sole distributor in Gran Canaria for the exclusive meats from El Capricho de José Gordón. The venue's design pays homage to its past, incorporating historical elements like account books and a scale, within an industrial aesthetic that encourages lingering and enjoyment.
Recently, on Saturday, April 18, Reverso 1957 hosted a special gastronomic event, a “six-hands” collaboration that brought together the Herrera brothers, from Camino al Jamonal, and chef José Luis Espino, from Halma. Together, they crafted a tasting menu that reinterpreted traditional dishes with innovative techniques, highlighting product quality and culinary creativity. Such gatherings underscore the space's commitment to gastronomy as a point of connection and experience.
The event showcased the team's ability to build a coherent culinary narrative, where each dish and pairing contributed to a comprehensive experience. From a reinterpreted sancocho to Espino's memorable beetroot and the Herrera brothers' meatballs, the menu was a testament to technique, sensitivity, and respect for the essence of flavors. The wine selection, curated by the sales manager, perfectly complemented each offering, reinforcing Reverso 1957's unique identity.
The space is conceived as a versatile venue for various experiences, from tastings and celebrations to gastronomic gatherings, always with the aim of offering something different and special. Attention to detail, from decor to product selection, ensures each visit is memorable and that diners discover the value behind every “label.”
