La Casa Creativa
Upstairs, a quirky café serves fresh juices, homemade pies and pastries and an ever-changing array of tapas (vegetarian options are always available). For dinner, the formal downstairs restaurant serves slightly overpriced Canarian and international fare. The German owners also rent out a few apartments and arrange occasional yoga classes.

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.

Casa Pablo
A grand old restaurant with a knight in armour lording it over the front door. Plenty of Spanish celebrity pics adorn the walls to leave you in no doubt that this is the place to come in Las Palmas for solid traditional cuisine. You can be a lightweight with an excellent tapas menu if you prefer.

Bar-Zumería Puntallana
A favourite Canarian species, the juice bar is a fabulous spot for breakfast, a quick lunch or a pick-me-up. The juices here, made on the spot with fresh and often local fruit, are outstanding and the cold and hot sandwiches are cheap and filling.

El Olivo
This stylish restaurant is well worth seeking out. There are just four tables in the tiny dining room, which has a minimalist green-and-yellow décor. Think pyramids, drizzle and nouvelle taste sensations. Reservations essential.

Restaurante Breñusca
Locals say this slightly greasy-feeling bar/diner/restaurant is one of the best spots in town to try simple, traditional Canarian fare like homemade fried calamari, meatballs and stews. The catch of the day is always recommended.

El Almacen de la Sal
An excellent waterfront restaurant, with fish dishes being the pick of the bunch (although a good vegetarian selection is also tempting). It's about halfway between the port and the main beach and has a cheaper lunchtime menu.

Restaurant La Puntilla
The breezy blue-and-white colour scheme adds to the charm of this lake-side restaurant with its view of the bobbing boats. The menu includes seafood dishes like octopus with potatoes in mojo and fried squid.

Taburiente
Don't bother asking for a menu; it's whatever struck the owner's fancy that day. This is a local favourite, especially on weekends, when crowds come for tapas and typical Canarian dishes.
