Goedemiddag, we hebben net on 6 days trip geboekt naar Las Palmas, hotel Sercotel Puerto de la Luz.
Graag willen we weten of er ook hippe ontbijt tentjes (ik ben vegetariër) in de buurt zijn en natuurlijk ook hippe vegetarische restaurantsjes.
In nature will we ook de binnenstad van Las Palmas bezoeken in daar natuurlijk ook heerlijk hip willen eten.
We zijn heel benieuwd alvast bedankt voor de reactie.

Hello,
I am an executive assistant for an English company. We are visiting Las Palmas at the end of the month as a team building trip. I have booked the NH Imperial Playa hotel for my group of 23, but I need to book 2 restaurants for dinner as well. I love your articles on the gastronomy of Gran Canaria. I wanted to ask if you have any recommendations for such a large group containing people with nut and gluten allergies and a vegetarian, too? Personally, I have never travelled to Las Palmas and have no experience with the food or restaurants there. I would be very grateful if you could give me some advice. The only other wish would be if at least one of the restaurants could be a traditional tapas/pintxos restaurant.
Thank you!
Hello!! Take a look at this article with many spaces for groups. They are sure to take care of allergies and intolerances without a problem at any of the suggested establishments.

Greetings and enjoy your stay in Gran Canaria!
restaurant no ni na calle cobadonga is very good
The restaurants they have here are very good but there are more
Hello Josefa!! Yes, of course there are more, but we don't want to mention them all, otherwise it wouldn't be funny 🙂 Which one is your favorite?
I see that many other restaurants are missing and they pushed aside the best places
Where to find a good pizza
Who makes the best American burgers?
Where to find the best meatballs, €1 tapas or where to have a good wine or a good beer, and of course what it tells us about vegans and breakfasts
Hello Roy!! Thank you very much for your comment. As you can see, they are our favorite sites. Our top 10 in Las Canteras. Obviously there are many more sites, but this is subjective, everyone has their own tastes. For example, hamburgers, pizzas and tapas for €1 are not very popular with us. It is not the type of food we eat and therefore would like to prescribe. Especially if we talk about the tourism that we want to visit Gran Canaria and if we want to be known for our fast and cheap food. A hug!
Extremadura winery: Guijuelo is from Salamanca and Jabugo in Huelva. They border with Extremadura.
Hello, you are right, thank you very much. We modify it 🙂
