Restaurant La Palmera Sur is part of a new wave of restaurants offering contemporary fusion cuisine in the south of Gran Canaria. It is situated in the popular tourist resort of Playa del Inglés. But would be equally at home amongst the sleek restaurants in the capital of the island Las Palmas. The ambience, the modern decor and the swift friendly service, make a meal at La Palmera Sur one to remember.

Fine Dining at Restaurant La Palmera Sur

We would consider this restaurant as fusion ‘fine dining’. The portions are tasty but are on the small side. It isn’t the place to head if you’re looking for a huge steak or fast food. It is the perfect restaurant for foodies or anyone who appreciates fine cuisine and fine wine.

On our visit, our designated friendly waiter recommended some special dishes of the day and others of the menu to us. We enjoyed them all. And we particularly liked the Mexican tacos with lamb ragu and zingy salsa! The restaurant also has an impressive wine list. We would recommend allowing your waiter to guide you through some of the great local Canarian wines they have available.

Beautiful Decor

The decor in La Palmera Sur is notable. The seating is comfy and we felt at ease. There are approximately ten tables inside and a further four or five small tables outside. So we would certainly recommend booking a table beforehand. The restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner. Although is closes late afternoon.

As a side note, on the night we visited there was a DJ playing ambient chill-out music. It was easy on the ear and an interesting touch. La Palmera Sur has been rated very highly on TripAdvisor. This was predominately our reason for going. If you are curious and want to try something different in the south of Gran Canaria, pop along and tell us your thoughts!

Great food, matching prices. The but is that the service seemed a bit inconsistent (right on queue for some of the... dishes, but would sometimes take over 20 minutes between some others)read more

Although attached to the Gold hotel (Marina group), the La Palmera Sur restaurant operates separately and also for non... residents.It is a contemporary design with window awnings that can open when the temperature permits but maintains a pleasant atmosphere at any time.Really nice menu with unconventional sharing main courses where you can have three different courses from the large selection which was ample for the two of us. They just bring the next course once you have finished the last, so your table is not piled high with food getting cold!Another nice touch was the spirit drinks being prepared at the table in front of you, rather than at the bar.Advised to book though we were lucky to get squeezed in as walk in! Great staff!read more

We stayed next door but we found this small amazing place once we checked in late in the evening. Had dinner just once... which was fabulous, nicely presented, the combination of flavors made it very special. Don't expect big portions! It's more about the experience. We also found our favourite wine to have almost every night while on holiday. A friendly bartender recommended us nice places to visit in Gran Canaria. Very friendly staff, cool uniforms, and great atmosphere.read more

Fast, friendly service, not too friendly to ruin the casual fine dining experience, although. The staff that treated us... had decent English skills.Excellent wine suggestions — we got the perfect bottle of white, that was also one of the most affordable ones on their extensive, yet very reasonably priced list.The food was an absolute delight. We shared 3 courses between the two of us + a reasonably priced portion of tasty fresh breads. Everything was immaculately prepared, and we'll presented. The creamy crab rise (aka risotto) deserves an honourable mention.In a town where 11 out of 10 places are tourist traps that couldn't care less about the customer once they have pulled them in from the street, and where most places serve the same exact dishes with no originality or authenticity, La Palmera is a rare exception that doesn't shy in comparison to similar segment restaurants elsewhere.P.S.The tables are basically all on a terrace, but there were powerful space heaters to make sure it's comfortably warm even on winter nights.P.P.SThe courses arrived at the table one at a time. We had just picked what sounded good and we thought should fit together well enough, and didn't order our dishes in any particular order. Either by skilled staff or mad luck, they were served in Just the Right order to create a complete and we'll working menu. I'm compelled to think it was the staff.read more
