If you are in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and want to know which are the best restaurants in Las Canteras, in this post we mention some options. Also, they are all totally different. Along the promenade and its surrounding streets you will find food from different parts of the world. Korean, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Lebanese, etc. At the same time, it also has a wide gastronomic offer from different parts of Spain: Galician, Extremaduran, Canarian, Basque and Mediterranean cuisine in general. Below we are going to mention some of our favorite places to eat on Las Canteras beach. Let’s go!
Best restaurants in Las Canteras
As Las Canteras beach and its promenade run almost 4 kilometers from La CĂcer to La Puntilla, we are going to mention different options throughout the whole promenade. Of course, we will only suggest the restaurants that we know and only those that, of these, we would recommend.
✔ Best restaurants in Las Canteras, La CĂcer
1. El Paseo restaurant
It offers typical Canarian food. It is next to the Auditorium Alfredo Kraus. The best is its terrace with sea view (always when it is not windy). We recommend you the fried octopus and the ensaladilla rusa (potatoes, tuna, mayonnaise, carrot and onion salad). It has one of the best values for money at the beach. It is also valid only to have a drink, since in this area there are good vibes. The average price is € 15-20 per person.
2. Maripili Las Palmas
If you want to try different things in a most beautiful place, you have to come to this restaurant. We loved their patacones, fish and chips, and even the hamburger. Anyway, as you can see below, for just an aperitif it’s also great. It really isn’t exactly on the promenade of Las Canteras beach, it is in the busy Plaza del Pilar square, less than 5 minutes from La CĂcer. They have a terrace and we recommend you book through their website in advance. The price per person of this restaurant in Las Canteras is around €25-30 per person.

3. La Solana Las Palmas
La Solana Las Palmas has quickly become one of the leading restaurants in Las Canteras in a short time. Its proposal is defined as haute cuisine in the neighborhood. Haute cuisine is clear to us, among its dishes are the suckling lamb shoulder and its three master croquettes: the pickled mussel, the Herreño cheese and the 5 Jotas ham. We can assure that everything was spectacular. When we went we also tried the calamari with PadrĂ³n peppers and romesco sauce, crazy! However, get ready to pay at one of the most expensive restaurants in Las Palmas. Let’s say from € 50-60 per person.
4. BululĂº Canarias
BululĂº Canarias is also practically new in Gran Canaria. Its cuisine has Venezuelan origins (arepas, cachapas and patacones), although it also has spectacular dishes such as its homemade foie. Their menu also offers delicious vegan options such as watercress hummus with fried chickpeas. Finally, in their menu they have a super wide offer of international beers. It is a place to go to share dishes, so you can try a little of everything. With which, the price per person is usually € 20-25.
5. Comando Pikza
If you like pizza, you have to try Comando Pikza. It is a small place where they make pizzas and focaccias with sourdough, even the desserts are pizzas. We loved the pork guanciale focaccia, as well as their potato pizza with gorgonzola and smoked speck. In Pikza they also make special cocktails. Without a doubt, a great plan to go with friends. The prices can be from € 20 to € 25 per person, depending on the drinks.
6. Bodega Extremeña
This is one of our favorite places to eat some snacks and appetizers. They have Extremaduran products as the Torta del Casar cheese. Moreover they have the best Iberian ham from the Guijuelo and Jabugo Spanish villages. The waiters are also so nice and friendly. They have a small terrace and inside they have high stools and tables. We suggest you the foie and Iberian ham small sandwich and the tomato salad. Don’t forget the Polvito Extremeño as a dessert. Everything is delicious and good value for money. Here you can eat for less than € 20 per person.
7. The Bikina Cantina
We have already written about this restaurant because we consider that they have everything: good and yummy gastronomic offer, friendly staff, terrace, awesome views and good vibes. We invite you to read the article about La Bikina cantina with more details. The average price per person is € 15-20. We also mentioned La Bikina in the post about restaurants with a terrace in Las Palmas, have a look!
✔ Best restaurants in Las Canteras, Playa Grande
8. El Arrosar restaurant
This is our favorite restaurant on the island and where we celebrate most of the special dates. El Arrosar is the typical restaurant that has practically everything that is good from the point of view of a Spanish diner: Iberian ham, fish and seafood, rices, a large wine cellar and good desserts. We highlight its rice dishes, very at the height of those of the Valencian coast. If we had to put a fault, it is that it does not have a terrace or views of the sea, since it is on a street perpendicular to Las Canteras. We recommend the black rice and the one with garlic with cuttlefish, as well as the grilled baby squid, the fried anchovies, the coquinas and their magnificent salad. The average price per person is € 25-30.
✔ Best restaurants in Las Canteras, La Puntilla
9. Camino al Jamonal
This place is a classic in Las Canteras for good Spanish tapas (especially related to the Iberian world), although its tomato and avocado towers and a variety of homemade dessert jars have also gained a good reputation. It is located right in La Puntilla, before turning onto the promenade that leads to El Confital. In addition to the tomato and avocado salad, we recommend the Iberian chickpea, the acorn-fed Iberian churrasquito, the Russian salad… ah! and leave some space in your stomach for their homemade desserts. We like the apple one, but there are a dozen options… Here you can enjoy yummy food for around € 25.
10. La Marinera & Casa Carmelo restaurant
Both Casa Carmelo and La Marinera (same owner) are two excellent options to eat in Las Canteras, both specialized in Canarian and Spanish food, but Casa Carmelo more focused on meats and La Marinera on fish and seafood. If you want to try local fish, we recommend the grilled cherne and the vieja fried. You should also try the gofio, made with the fish broth. Their house salad and calamari are also amazing!
The two restaurants have an indoor dining room and a terrace with views of the sea and the entire Las Canteras Beach. The price varies from € 20-40 per person, depending on whether you order fresh fish or some special meat and wine. We also recommend ordering the house salad in either of the two places. It has watercress, avocado, salmon, egg, onion, etc. It is the one that we show you above.
