Playa Del Inglés & Maspalomas Restaurants

  1. Casa Vieja

    Just north of the GC-1 motorway, along the road to Fataga, this restaurant is run with passion. The 'Old House' has a real campo (countryside) feel. Plants festoon the low roof, canaries trill and the menu is unwaveringly authentic; try the grilled meat. There is live traditional music most weekends.

  2. Mundo

    An oasis of fashionable sophistication, Mundo opened in 2005 and has seriously raised the culinary game in these parts. Think American diner-meets-Japanese, with a spruce-minimalist dining room with retro black-and-white tiles and cherry-red chairs. Try the black pasta with king prawns if it's on the menu.

  3. Restaurante La Liguria

    Serving up a better class of pizza than the cardboard-base norm, the flamboyant Genoese owner also whips up tasty pasta dishes, including a vegetarian choice. Sit outside on the attractive terrace, thankfully separated from the main road by shrubs and trees.

  4. Restaurante La Toja

    A quality establishment blending the best of cuisines from France and Galicia. Try the veal in Marsala wine or troubling-sounding elephant's ear with chips (actually a thin fillet of steak). The prices are reasonable given the fancy atmosphere and food.

  5. Restaurante Rías Bajas

    Within stumbling distance of the Yumbo Centrum, the tank of tentacle-waving crustaceans at the entrance gives it all away: the fish and seafood dishes here have an island-wide reputation. There's a sister restaurant in Urbanisation Meloneras in Maspalomas.
