Where to Eat Healthy Near Las Canteras in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Just landed in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and wondering where all the healthy food is hiding? You’re not alone. Stephanie, a newcomer to the city, said it best:

“I find it hard to find healthy food places around Las Canteras. If you have any good recommendations for healthy breakfast, lunch or dinner spots, I’d love to hear!”

Luckily, our community delivered. Here’s a locals-approved list of spots where you can eat well without sacrificing flavour or falling into a hummus-and-banana routine.

Berro Bistrot
Creative, veggie-friendly dishes with plenty of flavour and flair. Yes, the espresso (even the decaf) gets rave reviews too.

🧿 A Little Insider Wisdom

One local summed it up perfectly: don’t expect too much from the beach promenade. The real gems are tucked away a few blocks inland. Las Palmas is compact — a five-minute walk can take you from “meh” to “wow, I’m definitely coming back here.”

☀️ Final Forkful

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria might not have one big healthy food hub, but if you know where to look, it delivers. Whether you’re in the mood for a rainbow bowl, a falafel wrap, or just a damn good bagel with your flat white, you’ll find a place to fuel up near Las Canteras.

    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.
