Local restaurants in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain
// where locals actually eat — updated October 2026
1 vetted neighbourhood spot in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain — Spanish, found through local word of mouth rather than a marketing budget. Every one of them is below.
A family-run ham and tapas house a couple of streets back from Las Canteras beach, in the La Puntilla end of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Camino al Jamonal keeps to one idea and does it properly: good jamón, montaditos built around it, croquetas, and a wine list long enough to make choosing a small event. The dining room is small and reservations are sensible — the house works in timed table turns rather than pretending the room is bigger than it is. Local food blogs keep returning to it, and the weekday rhythm tells you who fills the tables: neighbours from the barrio, not the beach promenade.
