Where to eat

The historic center concentrates a great variety of restaurants, where the cuisine is present from the author to the most traditional. Bars, cafeterias, restaurants… that in Vegueta, are distributed between the streets Mendizábal and La Pelota, and in Triana, around the streets Triana, Cano and Pérez Galdós.

To eat by the sea you can opt for the avenue of Las Canteras beach, with terraces that are open every day of the year and where there is an infinite variety of culinary options, as in the entire beach area, from La Isleta to the Auditorium area. In the neighborhood of Guanarteme, very close to the beach, is one of the city’s Michelin-starred restaurants.

In the seafaring neighbourhood of San Cristóbal, fresh fish arrives directly from the small boats moored at its pier. Right in the city centre, in Ciudad Jardín, lies the Muelle Deportivo, where visitors can enjoy a good meal with views over the bay.

The Hotel Santa Catalina, which has two Michelin-starred restaurants, is located in Ciudad Jardín.

In the port area and around Santa Catalina Park, numerous establishments offer menus of every colour and flavour, with a notable presence of cuisines from around the world. Very close by, in the Mesa y López commercial area, Ruiz de Alda Street concentrates a large number of dining venues.

For those wishing to sample local produce, there is nothing better than visiting one of the city’s markets. Mercado del Puerto and its surroundings are another key reference point for discovering Canarian cuisine and dishes from different parts of the world.

Beyond the hustle and bustle of the city, the Monte Lentiscal and Bandama area, in Tafira, offers the opportunity to savour traditional Canarian gastronomy and discover the island’s wines, which enjoy their own designation of origin.
