Las Marineras restaurant - Canaria Fish dishes
Canarian fish dishes, barbeque meat and a breathtaking view on the ocean and over the Canteras beach
The “Restarante Las Marineras” is located only meters away from Canteras beach and its wave explosions on the black lava rocks. Highly recommendable are the Canarian fish specialties, seafood and deliciously prepared meat dishes. Moreover, the waiters and waitresses are fast and high in number (this is an exception for Gran Canaria).
Looking at the menu, one realizes fast that the specialties of the house are its high variety of fresh Canarian fish. One can choose one’s victim, the fish of choice, personally from the big glass cabinet. So, the food is so fresh that it is hardly dead.
There are delicious meals, beside the fish dishes, to discover at this restaurant located on the east side of Canteras beach. Recommendable are the meat dishes, which are prepared on the rustic coal oven (look at picture) once in a while. According to the headwaiter Sergio, the Paella with seafood and the “arroz negro” (rice with the black ink of a squid) are delicious. Another plus of this restaurant is its great variety of Spanish wines – namely more than 50.
Seating can be found either outside, in the great hall or in one of the quiet, cozy corners in the back of the restaurant. There is one commonality to all tables: the great view on the open sea and the sound of the waves perceived even inside the restaurant at quiet times.
Without a doubt, this is one of the best restaurants in town regarding its great atmosphere, location, service and authentic food. This way, even the high prices are justified.
Visitors to Las Marineras can watch the fishermen out on the sea as well as happenings at the surf-spot La Puntilla. That is why the time passes by quickly once the food is ordered and one is waiting. The Las Palmas 24.com team recommends a dinner at sunset here. At dusk, one can experience Canarian nature and cooking in the middle of Las Palmas in between the sound of the waves, the setting sun over the Atlantic and the taste of the local fish and meat specialties. It becomes even cozier once darkness arrives under the light of the lanterns on the terrace and the great view over Canteras beach.
