Crossword Genius

Some food fancy Tenerife bar provided (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entree

'some food' is the definition.
(entree is a kind of food)

'fancy tenerife bar provided' is the wordplay.
'fancy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bar' is a deletion indicator ('bar' can mean 'except' or 'apart from').
'provided' becomes 'if' (eg 'provided it's sunny' means 'if it's sunny').
'tenerife' with 'if' removed is 'tenere'.
'tenere' is an anagram of 'ENTREE'.

(Other definitions for entree that I've seen before include "The right to enter a particular sphere" , "formal entrance" , "The right of admission or entry" , "Main course (or the one before)" , "Served after the fish and before the main course" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
