Restaurante La Marinera

I lived in Las Palmas for 3 years and by far this is my favourite restaurant. It is located right at the beginning of Playa de las Canteras and it has the best views. Inside it is quite noisy, so I usually get a table outside or inside next to the windows. When you reserve don´t forget to tell them about the table. Lately it is recommendable to book a table in advance, as it is always packed.

I would recommend you to have for starters: papas arrugas with mojo picó, gofio escaldado, longorones (my favourite), gueldes or their special salmon salad. For main courses order "Sama a la espalda". For desserts, huevos mole or ice cream with "bienmesabe".

Very friendly service and great atmosphere.

This is one of the best places in Maspalomas (south of Gran Canaria). It is a restaurant, but it is also a bar at night with tons of seats overlooking Playa de Maspalomas! They even have live bands playing, although the music is not that great! :)
If you go there for a drink, order a cold sangría! There are two types of sangria, cava and red wine. Both are quite good! What I normally do is to go there to have a coffee after lunch. Although it is a nice place, I go to other restaurants in the ares which are better for lunch or dinner...

When you see its looks you would never rate it so high, but it is an excelent place. Since I discovered it, I have been going there every time I visit Maspalomas (south of the Island). The service is superb and they have typical canarian dishes, the best in the area. I always order "sama/dorada a la sal" with some nice white wine, Viña Esmeralda for example. They also have meat, but it is the best place to have fresh fish. I am attaching some recommendations:
-Starters: "papas" and "queso canario"
-Main: Sama a la espalda, Sama a la sal, Dorada a la espalda or Dorada a la sal.
-Wine: Viña Esmeralda, Viña Sol or El Grifo (semi dulce)

Once you finish lunch they invite you to shots. You must try "Ron miel" on the rocks, typical drink in the Canary Islands.

This is one of the best restaurants you find in Las Canteras. It is in the middle of the way between La Puntilla and Alfredo Kraus. I recommend you to order "Rissoto a la marinera", which is rice with seafood! mmmmmm... great combination. They have tables right next to the sand, although you also have an indoor restaurant. The views are excellent!

This is one of the best Italian restaurants in the Island. They have been so succesful that they have opened three restaurants so far. As I love to have nice views, I recommend you the one located in La Puntilla (Playa de las Canteras).
