Nautilo

A quiet place beside the beach with fresh fish, seafood and different rices.

Reviewed By Jan Z

Nice....nice.....nice......been there a few times now and the dishes best description is that they are DIFFERENT then others.......nice and colorful. Ingredients are fresh and very well prepared with cooks attention. Tried everything on the small menu but they also have daily specials. The restaurant is nicely and fresh furniture, VERY clean and you are feeling a bit 'underwater' with the wall paintings, pictures and set up. Open kitchen and free view on the cook....love it! Owner has brilliant food knowledge, is open for food talk in English and knows his wines (good variety). Good place for business diner meetings due to the quite ambiance, with some private situated table in the back. Recommend the dishes with Tuna and clamps. 1 personal point minus.......change the menu every once and a while......after a few times you have seen the deserts and standard menu.....tastes fantastic but it is not surprising.Price is normal/average for a good dinner experience.

Picaro

Pícaro was conceived to be a place to share food and joy with friends and relatives. The restaurant's aim, located in the centre of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, is to provide a space to enjoy the flavours of an international cuisine. Pícaro is the personal

Reviewed By JacekBJ

It is difficult for me to write this review: the place was recommended by the Owner of De Cuchara who I respect very much. Ok, good things: nice service, very good atmosphere, You can feel there comfortable, Chef.Things to work on:1. Ventilation system: if I wouldn’t be adviced I never stepped inside as You can feel the burnt oil odour on a street olready. But You don’t feel it inside.2. Menu: should be more clearly divided into sections.3. Food: shrimp curry - very good idea and taste, beef tataki - very very average4. Menu and portions composed in such a way that I left hungry- in fact I noticed that many reviewers say that.In fact I know that the Chef is really good and the restaurant could be really great - just need some inspiration.

Restaurante El Encuentro de Teror

Reviewed By Chiew_Pang

Situated right in the quiet square facing the basilica (it's not a cathedral), El Encuentro competes with a couple more restaurants for the occasional influx of visitors, especially at the weekend. Quiet, except during days, like today, when they hold some event or other. Today, it was a road race.El Encuentro has both outdoor and indoor seating, so take your pick. It serves Spanish cuisine, but focussing more on Canarian dishes. The portions were rather miserly, more like tapa sizes, or half-portions, at best, so you'd end up ordering quite a few.We started with papas negras, which are a variety only found in Tenerife. They are not found in abundance, so they're more expensive than the other common types. When you cut the potatoes open, you'll be treated with creamy yellow flesh, similar to that of sweet potatoes. They're cooked the "arrugadas" style, boiled with the peel, in highly salted water, which makes the skin wrinkle, and accompanied with mojo sauce. Wonderful as these black potatoes were, I've tasted better. Perhaps, it needed more of the sauces...The croquettes came in 3 kinds of filling: Iberian ham, cod (these two were rather too salty for my liking) and Chorizo de Teror (these were sweetish). The chipirones (baby squid) were bigger than others I've seen and were somewhat tougher too. Bearing in mind that these are usually cheaper than the bigger calamares, I found this dish not value for money.Other dishes we had were a cheese platter, except it wasn't really a platter, keeping in line with their small-portions policy; the normal papas arrugadas, and gofio escaldado. Gofio is traditional Canarian flour, which has a distinct flavour, and this is cooked with fish stock. If you've never tried it, I suggest you did.Service was adequate but next time, I'd be more inclined to try one of those restaurants on the side streets rather than this.

Restaurant where you will be able to enjoy the international gastronomic proposal combined with the artistic ideas and the dishes of own creation.

Reviewed By paulbspain

What a culinary delight! This is one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had in a long-standing foodie life.The servings are abundant, though not copious. We left sated after sharing 5 savoury dishes and 2 desserts among 4 people.Savoury:Ceviche de corvina (a type of bass), with the deliciously surprising incorporation of red wine to the leche de tigre.Almejas (clams) with a star aniseed-flavoured sauce you'll want to scoop up with an empty shell.Costilla de cochino negro (suckling pig ribs) that were a tribute to the chef's time in Southeast Asia.Gyozas de cochino (pork) that were a five course meal in miniature.Desserts:Homenaje tropical (tropical tribute), a three course dessert in itself for citric and chocolate lovers.Merienda canaria, an updated tribute of the tratiinal teatime treat for Canarian kids that includes Canary banana (platano) mouse, oranges and biscuits worthy of writing home about!The decor is discreet, as is the service. Prices, as you will see below, are also discreet.We had a lovely after-dinner chat with the owner/chef, who has trained at El Bulli and with Martin Berasategui, as well as spending quite some time living and working in SE Asia, before setting up this restaurant which I sincerely hope will be a great success. The team, their skills and vision deserve it!Thank you very much Paul for coming to our restaurant, sharing your experience in detail and finally leaving us this wonderful assessment. It is an honor to be defined as "the best culinary experience of his long life", he has left us speechless. It is incredible to have such wonderful diners as you, we thank you for your wishes of success and of course we hope to see you soon. Greetings

Minimal décor, very clean, light, open with cheerful owner hand making the pizzas in full view! All fresh ingredients from Naples and it showed. Two adults and a teen thoroughly enjoyed it, big pizzas though, could share. Music is great.

Como Como 15

Nice and cosy restaurant in the center of Teror, combining the typical Canary island style with the homely warmth of the Scandinavian countries. Vegetarian, vegan and ecological options.

Reviewed By plus4man

Follow the sign boards away from the main square and down the steep, narrow street. We booked for dinner, earlier than most locals, but the place filled later in the evening. Very friendly and attentive staff, food prepared fresh and all tasted good. Good selection of beer and wine at reasonable prices.Went back a couple of days later for coffee in the courtyard. Very pleasant haven from the busy Sunday market.

Entre Duelas y Tapas

A space to enjoy the wine in a different way. A unique atmosphere that will surprise you. Some call it bodegas, other wine cellars and others describe it as an authentic "canary yard" of the old ones!

Reviewed By snisbet600

The tapas plate here are very good, and good value for money - big portions :) Also the local Canarian wine we ordered (2.50er per glass!) was excellent and complimented the food very well. The place itself has a good atmosphere, and they play good music. The waiter was excellent (same girl on both visits). Thanks a lot for your comment. We are really happy about that. I will comment to all our staff. We try to be better each day more types of Wine and better food.We hope you enjoy your experience in Arucas, Gran Canaria.

De Enyesque Arucas

Reviewed By daontravel

We had lunch with our toddlers, and the staff was very welcoming and friendly. The children had meatballs and rice and loved it (so at that point we were already extatic about the place). Be sure to check out the boards showing todays specials, there were many fantastic sounding dishes and gems to be found there! All dishes that we ate were fantastic, The jamon iberico was so tasty and tender, fried cheese was excellent soft and creamy with a tangy sauce.

We are there few apetizers and paella. Everything was really good and reasonably priced. Chef was really nice and gave us good recommendations on food. Really worth a try.
