Food type:
Tapas

My favourite tapas restaurant in Las Palmas. It is located in el muelle
deportivo and you can eat outside. It has a great selection of northern
Spanish Tapas and just the polvorito for pudding is worth the trip.

This is a teppanyaki restaurant where the food is cooked in front of you. It is a really entertaining evening and food is excellent too. Take your camera.

They are famous for their grilled chicken, salad, hot bread with herbs and butter.

Amazing steaks and good service. Ask what fresh meat they have in, the t-bone steaks will be bigger than your plate - a proper Desperate Dan meal.

Possibly the restaurant with the best views on the island! There is a huge terrace perfect for an afternoon meal or a summer's evening meal.

The staff are super friendly and the food is great. Ask for their specials - we have never been disappointed.

My rating:

Really cheap seafood / tapas restaurant on the beach. All the tables are outside and are literally 10m from the shore. It's got a great atmosphere and the food is great, especially if there's a big group of you so you can share all the dishes. It gets pretty busy Friday and Saturday so either get there early (8pm) or book a table.

Every time ive been the curry has improved yet still lacks a bit of zing like! Jalfrezi is good, vindaloo is very enjoyable, the popadoms are chickpea flour and not as good as the Hindustani club. Plastic flowers are a touch of home or a lot of pish, depends which way you like it.

This is a pure meat restaurant.The meat is barbecued and the various steaks that come out are enormous.The menu is limited,four or five types of steak dishes,two or three pork dishes and a barbecued skewer of chicken.The prices are about right but it cannot be over emphasised,arrive hungry.The entrecot of beef is literally an inch and a half thick and the size of the full plate.You´ll actually have to eat some meat to find a place to put your chips!

Casa Montesdeoca

Restaurant name:
Casa Montesdeoca
Location:
Las Palmas
Address or website:
http://www.casamontesdeoca.com/
Telephone number:
928333466
Food type:
Canarian
Price / head:
35 euros +

This is a really nice top quality restaurant. It is in an open air courtyard of an old Canarian house, you are surrounded by old paintings, beautiful architecture and small palms. The food is exceptional and the service is as you'd expect from such a restaurant. The staff speak English very well and are fully knowledgeable on the food and wine.

If you choose your food carefully and drink water you could probably get a starter and a main (they are big portions) for under 30€ a head, but if you fully immerse yourself you won't get much change out of 40 / 50€.

Gambrinus

Restaurant name:
Gambrinus
Address or website:
Secretario Artiles, 34
Location:
Las Palmas
Price / head:
15-20 euros
Food type:
Tapas
My rating:
3

Gambrinus sells itself as a Cervecería (beer house?) and tapas restaurant. It is pretty good, you won't be disappointed but it's unlikely you'll be blown away by the food either, but it's better than most tapas restaurants in the city. You can eat outside and the service is usually good too.

Tapas Bar Capaco

Restaurant name:
Tapas Bar Capaco
Address or website:

Location:
Playa del Ingles / Maspalomas
Telephone number:

Price / head:
15-20 euros
Food type:
Tapas
My rating:

Richard was foolish/desperate or both when he suggested that I write a review of some restaurants down here in the tourist ghettos. Because quite frankly my opinion of restaurants down here is dire, although this has compelled me to improve my own culinary skills with no small success in that arena.

Casa Vieja

Restaurant name:
Casa Vieja
Address or website:
On the road to Fataga, just out of Playa
Location:
Playa del Ingles / Maspalomas
Price / head:
20-25 euros
Food type:
Grill/meat
My rating:
4

The 2nd of my culinary diatribes and tellingly, my personal climax of reviews for restaurants in the south is Casa Vieja, situated on the road to Fataga just out of Playa, pronounced fa-ta-ga and not fat-taga as I wincingly heard some of you describe it recently.

Although not accessible from the motorway, it soon will be, as a slip road is all but finished bar some Committee directive to move the concrete bollards blocking it.

Restaurante Bernardino

Restaurant name:
Restaurante Bernardino
Address or website:
Cruz del Gamonal, 170, Santa Brigida
Location:
Mountains
Telephone number:
928641315
Price / head:
15-20 euros
Food type:
Canarian
My rating:
4

A little Canarian restaurant in a small village near Santa Brígida. It has excellent Canarian and Tapas and if you're in the area or nearby it's well worth the trip. It gets quite busy at lunch times so at the weekends it is recommended that you book a table. Print off the directions before you leave otherwise you'll get lost!
