Michelin Star Restaurants in Gran Canaria 2024
As we told you, since 2019, restaurants La Aquarela, in the area of amphi of the sea and on the other hand, The Guayres, en Puerto de Mogán, have been renewing their corresponding Michelin star in recent years. And, for the first time, there will be five Michelin star restaurants in Gran Canaria at the same time in 2024.
As we see it, if you only had the option of choosing one restaurant based on your budget or limited time on the island, We liked La Aquarela much more than the other two. The reasons are three: inclusion of Canarian products in practically all the dishes on the menu, environment and service.. In any case, the three restaurants are highly recommended and we congratulate them on this great achievement.
✔ La Aquarela, Michelin star restaurants in southern Gran Canaria
We can affirm that La Aquarela is one of the best restaurants in Gran Canaria. Has it all: products from Gran Canaria and other Islands, explosion of flavors, presentation, 10-class service and an unbeatable environment. The Canarian chef is in his kitchen German Ortega, who is clear that KM0's product must be the protagonist. And he botched. Every day its owner is also in charge of La Aquarela, Gregory Fernandez. Furthermore, you can see how there is a great team that loves what they do and that shows in the result.
At La Aquarela they offer two tasting menus from which you can choose. On the one hand, the Menu vegetarian Land for €120 (without pairing). And, on the other hand, the Experience Menu that includes meat, seafood and fish for €140, without drinks. Pairing is optional on both menus and costs €98 per person.. In any case, they have an extensive wine and sparkling wine list. We are sure that your brilliant maitre sommelier Nikola Ivicic will be able to advise you on your choice.
Finally, keep in mind that In the summer months you can enjoy a dreamlike sunset like in the photo we showed you at the beginning. Try to make a reservation for the aperitif at 20:00 p.m. so you don't miss it.
✔ Los Guayres, Michelin Star restaurants in Gran Canaria (Pto. de Mogán)
As for Los Guayres, it is located within the Cordial Mogan Playa hotel in the zone of Puerto de Mogán. Although the place is beautiful, it is difficult to compare with the surroundings of La Aquarela. The genre they include in their menus is spectacular (oysters, carabineros, foie, suckling pig...), but we noticed less prominence of the local product. This Michelin star restaurant in Gran Canaria offers three tasting menus: the Tasting Menu for €120, the Classic Tasting Menu for €130 and the Grand Tasting Menu for €140. As the price rises, the number of dishes to taste increases. Pairings are not included and have a cost of €55, €62 and €70, respectively.
In the kitchen of Los Guayres restaurant we will meet Alexis Alvarez, another Gran Canarian chef who receives this award. Congratulations and keep going like this!
✔ Poems by Hermanos Padrón, Michelin Star in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
In December 2021 the Poems restaurant by Hermanos Padrón received a Michelin star for the first time. The Poemas restaurant is located within the Santa Catalina hotel, Royal Hideaway hotel of the chain Barceló. It is the oldest hotel in the Canary Islands that remains open today. Both the hotel and the Poemas restaurant are located in a unique environment in the capital. By the way, If you are in the city for the first time, you have all our tips on what to see in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on the blog.
The Padrón Brothers have been renewing a Michelin Star for several years now at their restaurant El Rincón de Juan Carlos on the island of Tenerife. In the case of the Poems have delegated their gastronomic project on the island of Gran Canaria to chef Iciar Pérez from Herreña, being the head chef of this establishment.
The curious thing about this restaurant and what differentiates it from the other two Michelin Star restaurants in Gran Canaria, is that You will be able to choose between eating à la carte or enjoying their tasting menu. If you eat a la carte there are not many options and the price per person will not go below €70. On the other hand, They have two tasting menus, one of classics for €90 per person and also the Poems tasting menu for €140 per person. None include drinks.
✔ Tabaiba, Michelin Star restaurant in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Since 2023 it also has a Michelin star. Tabaiba Restaurant with chef Abraham Ortega at the helm. In his letter they have two options. The Tabaiba Menu with 8 passes for €100 without drinks and the Experience Menu with 11 passes for €130 which also does not include pairings..
✔ Bevir, Michelin Star restaurant in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria 2024
As we mentioned, this In 2024, the capital's Bevir restaurant joins the Guide to Michelin Star restaurants in Gran Canaria. In their kitchens is the chef José Luis Espino. For now they have not changed their menus since they have one star and you can try their Fortunata tasting menu from €85 and the Jacinta menu from €105. We still have it pending, since we go, we will tell you about our experience here.
Finally, it should be noted that there is also a restaurant in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria with Estrella Verde. And what does this mean? A Estrella Verde restaurant Michelin is identified by its exceptional commitment to Sustainable practices and conscious management of resources. This award is granted to those establishments that prioritize sustainability in their operation and management. This is the case of Muxgo restaurant by Borja Marrero. They have tasting menu from €75 and they are within the Santa Catalina hotel too.
