In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, two Chinese restaurants shine bright among the city’s diverse food spots. Bar China and Bai Wei Wu offer delicious Chinese flavors with friendly service. Whether you enjoy the lively market atmosphere at Bar China or a more peaceful setting at Bai Wei Wu, both places promise great food and a memorable time. Let’s dive into what makes these spots favourites for Chinese food lovers in Las Palmas.

Bar China

Located inside the Mercado del Puerto, Bar China might not catch your eye at first, but it definitely catches your taste buds. This family-owned restaurant is a hidden gem for those looking for authentic Chinese cuisine in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The husband, a skilled chef, ensures that every dish is full of genuine Chinese flavors, from their renowned spicy chicken No 69 to comforting egg rice dishes. Meanwhile, his wife provides attentive service with a warm smile, making every visit a great experience. Despite the language barrier (as English is limited among the staff), ordering becomes an enjoyable adventure, adding to the charm of this affordable dining spot.

Patrons appreciate the consistent quality and freshness of the dishes, noting that each meal feels like a home-cooked delight. The menu offers a variety of options, including vegan-friendly choices like tofu, adding to its appeal. Located conveniently next to lively tapas bars and a bustling market, Bar China provides not just a meal but an immersion into authentic Chinese flavors amidst the vibrant ambiance of Mercado del Puerto.

Bai Wei Wu

Tucked away in a more quiet area of the city, Bai Wei Wu offers a serene escape with its excellent Chinese cuisine and welcoming atmosphere. The owners, known for their hospitality, greet guests warmly and make sure that each dish is prepared with fresh, quality ingredients. Their commitment to quality shines through in dishes like fried rice noodles and rice cakes, which receive high praise for their rich flavours and expert preparation.

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere that makes it a calm place to eat, away from busy streets. Customers often get a nice surprise at the end of their meal with free fruit, showing how much Bai Wei Wu cares about making customers happy. Even though it’s not easy to find, people have heard good things about it and it’s become popular with both locals and tourists who like tasty food and a laid-back dining atmosphere.

In Summary

Both Bar China and Bai Wei Wu stand out in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria for their dedication to providing authentic Chinese flavors in inviting settings. Whether you’re looking to explore new dishes or enjoy familiar favorites, these restaurants promise memorable dining experiences that capture the essence of Chinese culinary traditions right in the heart of the city.
