Cafés, Bars and Restaurants in Telde: Community-Approved Spots

Telde sits just 13 km from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and is home to around 100,000 people. It’s quieter, more residential, and noticeably cheaper than the capital, which is why some of our community members choose to live there. And while it’s not exactly a digital-nomad hotspot, the food scene absolutely holds its own.

Below are the places that kept coming up in our community conversations, each with its own little personality.

🍽️ Restaurante La Tunera

If you want a proper sit-down meal in Telde, this one gets enthusiastic thumbs-up. La Tunera is known for warm service, beautifully prepared dishes and a menu that feels a little special without requiring a special occasion. Community members describe it as “amazing,” and it often ends up on the shortlist for date nights, family lunches or anything that deserves good food and a relaxed atmosphere.

🌊 La Esquinita de La Garita (Playa de La Garita)

Right by the beach at La Garita, this spot is exactly what you want after a swim or a lazy seaside walk. Simple, friendly, local. It’s a great choice for tapas, coffee or a casual drink while watching the waves come and go. If you’re after an easygoing beachside moment without the crowds of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, La Esquinita delivers that chill Telde vibe perfectly.

🌼 Taberna Tasca Flamboyan

Flamboyan sits in that sweet spot between traditional and modern. It’s a place where you can settle in for tapas, wines and a relaxed evening with friends. The vibe is warm and authentic, and it’s the kind of neighbourhood favourite that makes living in Telde feel like a good decision.

🌳 El Bosque Encantado by Colegas

With a name like “The Enchanted Forest,” you already know you’re in for something fun. This restaurant is quirky, colourful and playful. Community members describe it as a creative option for both food and atmosphere. If you like trying places that feel a bit whimsical, this is the one to check out.

    A least half of the appeal of Las Palmas for remote workers and digital nomads is rooted in this community. It’s the best I’ve seen so far in terms of how well it is organised, structured and nurtured. It offers excellent opportunities to meet new people and explore the island.
