El Arrosar Price Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
The rice dishes themselves are not expensive, in fact we recommend that if there are four people, that you order a starter and a portion of rice for three. With this you will pay some €15-20 per person for a portion of rice. It also depends on which one you order (there is brothy one with seafood). In any case, if you order quality starters such as Iberian ham and lobster, the price per person will increase, since grilled lobster has an estimated price of €30 (depends on the market price). If we add to this a good wine and desserts, the price It can be perfectly around €50 per person, but this is not the case if you do not order seafood or Iberian meat..
As you can see, El Arrosar restaurant is very traditional, both in the uniformity of the waiters, as well as in its decoration, use of tablecloths and very good quality service. If this restaurant had a terrace with views of the Las Canteras beach, it would be idyllic. However, it is less than 100 meters from the beach promenade, perfect for having your meal as soon as you finish.
