Las Canteras promenade

The entire Las Canteras promenade offers restaurants and cafés, making it tempting simply to eat here throughout your stay.

There is certainly nothing wrong with doing so occasionally. Few locations are better for breakfast, a coffee, lunch or drinks at sunset.

However, restaurants directly on a famous beach inevitably vary. Visitors who care about food should explore the streets behind the promenade as well as neighbourhoods elsewhere in the city.

Guanarteme, immediately behind the southern end of Las Canteras, has become particularly interesting for contemporary dining. The historic districts of Vegueta and Triana also contain a wide selection of restaurants ranging from traditional establishments to more creative cooking.
