What’s your favourite seafood restaurant in Las Palmas?
If you ever have a bit of cash to spend. I can really recommend Clipper La Puntilla near Isleta. The best seafood I have ever ate! It’s on the pricey side though.
Restaurante Nuevo Gran Playa
El Padrino Restaurante is good and not expensive at all like those on Paseo de Las Canteras.
The tapas bars around Mercado del Puerto have the best navajas, scallops and prawns on the Island in my opinion.
Amigo Camilo is reservation only (at least it was still a few months ago) and make sure you sit on the terrace and preferable as far away from the kitchen as you can. Unless you love smelling like fish for a week.
I have yet to try it but Amigo Camilo comes strongly recommended.
Amigo Camillo, Restaurante Nuevo Gran Playa, Ñoño El Chico.
Where can I get the best octopus?
No ni ná (close to La Cicer)
Tasca La Lonja just off the beach front has great octopus!
El Corazón de Cuba in Mercado del Puerto has amazing grilled octopus. Highly recommend. It looks like a casual bar, it is a casual bar, but the octopus and the service are top.
