This excellent Canary and Mediterranean restaurant, situated on a beautiful square in the heart of the historic centre, has a successful map: cheese mix from here, carpaccio of bluefin tuna, salads, scrambled eggs with Iberian ham, seafood risotto, squid, shrimp… The place is also unique since it is a historic palace, a former theatre in Las Palmas, and the address has not forgotten its first cultural vocation since there are concerts and literary encounters. A magical address to discover absolutely!

In the Vegueta district, this restaurant has been in a pleasant setting: A th century palace with a beautiful patio bathed in greenery and palm trees which maintains a very gentle atmosphere. On the menu, beautiful fish come from the day, served with lip sounds or risottos and beautiful meats like solomillo. A beautiful map of Canary wines and attentive service. A nice and beautiful table.

One of Puerto Rico's best addresses to eat fresh fish, on the harbour. International cuisine. We recommend that you book a table on weekends.

This restaurant, created in 1984, works with fresh products. International cuisine, grill and pizza, in a garden-terrace, facing the apartments of the same name. For meat lovers, we recommend the Galician salt net.

The old home recipes authentically canary, as well as creations like the «ropa vieja de pulpo».

In a grill the specialty will necessarily be good grilled meats, without forgetting Canary dishes with suckling pigs, rabbit, kid.... And homemade desserts such as the three-chocolate pie, turrón and almonds, egg flan or coffee flan... Perfect for winter evenings.

El Puerto de Laguete is a restaurant in the port of Las Nieves and has an air-conditioned interior room and a terrace. The specialty? Seafood, with a recommended fish stew, and excellent paellas and grilled meats. You will also have the possibility of eating tapas (only at the bar). A good value for money.

Restaurant in the centre of the Commercial shopping centre, serving German and international cuisine. There is more for the atmosphere than for the kitchen. Less than you want a sauerkraut…

Close to the playa to La Cantera and the Las Arenas shopping center, this tapas bar does not look like anything (say), but we come here to eat well and inexpensive. For example the tail continues formed in front of this small restaurant which has five tables on the terrace. Food is really delicious, we recommend octopus and fried squid, and especially the taquitos of cherne. Ideal if you like place Playa de Canteras beach.

At the head of this place opened in 2016, Domingo, ex-commercial in the oil sector, but also passionate about cooking and music, hence the choice of the name of the restaurant, in reference to the group Massive Attack. The idea, to propose some simple dishes with a great requirement as for the quality of the products. On the board, the suggestions of the day, deleted when there are no more. We recommend tasting gazpacho de bettarada, the Canary name for beet, prepared with excellent Jaén oil or Fagajesto, a Canary cheese, half goat, half wood, from a small village south of Gáldar. A small selection of wines and homemade beers. Just like the dishes, the room is bare, but not without charm, with a large barra and some tables.

It has become the reference and passing point for those who appreciate the good cuisine of seafood. For this restaurant makes the choice of local fishing and it is possible to enjoy the cherne accompanied by a green clam sauce, the Canary hake, a resuverto of urchins, the queues of tidal shrimp served with their herbal weeds or a fresh rice rice. Even the party taken for the local with artisanal cheeses on the island and a homemade dessert such as ice cream served with La Palma honey. All to enjoy while admiring Arinaga Bay from panoramic windows.

In this restaurant located on the port of Las Nieves, the interior decor will be logically very marine. But you can also sit on its beautiful terrace, to enjoy the view of the sea and the port, knowing that it is often full and that you have to arrive a little earlier to sit down. As in many restaurants of this village, it is better to opt for simplicity and to privilege the fish of the day, simply a la plancha. The portions are honest and the service correct even if it is under pressure when boats arrive.

A must. Like its counterpart in Arguineguín, it is the place guaranteed for the freshness of the fish, a reputation that also attracts locals. Be careful, there may be a line on market day. Kitchen open to the dining room decorated with superb aquariums.

Popular with regulars, this family-friendly tapas bar is open non-stop and also serves daily specials. On the terrace, facing the sea, you can enjoy fresh fish a la plancha and other local specialties such as fried eggplant with honey.

Restaurant with terrace offering a superb view of Roque Nublo and the valley of Tejeda. The homemade dishes are worth a stop!

Located in the Guayadeque ravine, this restaurant is built in the mountain caves of Barranco. It is a curious experience that will leave you with an imperishable memory, the echo, the sound of the stones as many extraordinary sensations for a dinner. You will taste some specialities such as fried pork with aioli sauce, a hearty parillada or beautiful grilled meats which have won prizes in competitions rewarding local flavours. A must-have.
