Taberna La Caña Restaurante & Tapas, located near the Águila Roja Shopping Centre is famous amongst the locals and long-term holiday makers for its home-made Paellas as well as for the most delicious and juicy steak and meat dishes.

Spacious Terrace

The restaurant has a spacious front terrace which fills up fast from about 18:30 in the evening. If you would like a space on the terrace for your dinner we recommend you make an pre-reservation online with discount.

Our Taberna La Caña Restaurant Tasting

On our recent Taberna La Caña restaurant tasting we had a Salmon Tatare, Lamb Shoulder, Seafood-Paella and three different desserts. We absolutely loved all dishes, but we could not believe the perfection and exquisite flavour compositions of the desserts!

Taberna La Caña in their own words:

“We are specialised in Spanish food, Mediterranean cuisine and tapas.  Here you can enjoy and share our fresh homemade food with your friends and family.” The restaurant is run by two brothers José, the head chef, and Sergio, the general manager.

Taberna La Caña Specialties

As already mentioned before, the restaurant is famous for their Paellas! Their Paellas are made with fresh seafood from Galicia and daily homemade broths to give it an authentic flavour.

Another one of their specialties and their guest’s favourite (and ours) is the fresh suckling lamb from Segovia cooked with rosemary and garlic for 24 hours in the oven. So tender it can be eaten with a spoon.

The steak lovers will not get disappointed! Imported from Ávila, the North of Spain, they have an amazing 28-day dry-aged rib steak from the beef. We tried the T-Bone steak in their new restaurant CANDENTE, and I must say it was one of the best T-Bone steaks I have ever eaten. It was cooked to perfection as we liked it, juicy and delicious.

The Desserts

Every day the chefs create a special dessert additionally to the three which are a la carte. On our visit we tried all three desserts a la carte which are always available. Each one of them was simply amazing! My favourite – the Coulant de Chocolate:

Crême Brulé

Leche Frita – Traditional Canarian

This dessert here is a traditional “Leche Frita” in a modern look, which means “Baked or Fried Milk” if directly translated from Spanish. A secret family recepy handed down from generation to generation. Gorgeous!

The food was excellent & the host, was phenomenal. Mr Antonio, thank you! Knowing how to approach, address and serve people indicates pure intelligence. And this man has it all! The best paella in town for sure. We enjoyed it.

Great (mixed) paella! That has to be said first. The starters were great as well. The pork belly and the gamba al ajillo were delicious. Ordered a small bottle of semi sweet white wine. Did not expect much from it, but it was actually pretty good also! The service was excellent!

Me and my partner have been in Gran Canaria for a few days and it hasn’t been easy finding a good paella. Luckily with a Google search we found this cozy tavern with great traditional food, but the paella was especially delicious! Also we have to say how much we appreciated the staff, who was more than welcoming and very professional. A few of the customers were very loud, complaining a lot for no reason and behaved very rude to the staff, completely unnecessary. Hats off to the staff for handling these situations and providing us with one of the best meals of our holiday!

This was one of the best paella's I've had in years! Absolutely delicious! And very well priced!The service is also attentive and outstanding! Only slight downside is noise from the bar down the street.

Overall solid place, friendly staff, and enjoyed my experience. 4 instead of 5 as while I enjoyed the food, it wasn’t really knocking it out of the park to land a 5. Lamb was fine, burger was fine, fries were fine - I’m happy we went, but subjectively it was just decent food at a slightly higher price.Would I go again? Sure. Do I recommend it? Sure. Will you enjoy it? Probably (and definitely a way better choice than the places near the water)

Called in initially for just a drink after asking if you could order just drinks and not have food as the tables had nice white cotton table covers. No problemo replied the waiter. After a couple of drinks we decided to order some warm tapas. It was delicious. Excellent prompt waiter service. Tapa’s piping hot and not small portions. Prices also good. Value for money. I would recommend and we will be returning before we fly home.

This is a great restaurant among several others in close proximity. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and spoke great English. The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated to a high standard. I had the pork sirloin in fig sauce which was cooked perfectly. In our party we also had sirloin steaks that were cooked well but we're quite fatty. We also had a seafood paella which was exceptional. We would definitely revisit but would perhaps avoid the steaks next time as we have had much better quality steak for the same good price elsewhere in the area. Everything else was fantastic

The best “Paella de marisco” in Maspalomas! Super tasty and with the perfect paella rice (not made with the parboiled rice🤢 like I ate in other places). The staff is extremely friendly and give you really good suggestions. I loved the Tenerife cheese! Las “Croquetas de Jamón” and the garlic mayo, were scrumptious! 😋 Prices are very reasonable, when you consider the good quality of the ingredients and the food was absolutely delicious. Outstanding service. My favorite restaurant in Maspalomas and I will definitely come back.I would highly recommend coming here for lunch or dinner.

Either we were to hungry, or the food was so good, but we totally enjoyed our lunch here.Seafood Paella 🥘 and our Grilled Shrimp Tapas were delicious. I just missed a good beer, but I'm guessing it's hard to find good beer in Spain.🍺The place is a must visit, good service, quality food 😍🤩

Exceptional food, service & atmosphere.We ate here multiple times across our 10 days on the island, and also had my mums birthday evening - with a stunning chocolate cake from the team. It feels like home.Thanks to Josef, Antonio & Caesar for your attention to detail out front. And thanks to the chefs & owner for the exquisite food!The fillet steak is out of this world.Tapas are fantastic.Canarian mash was delicious!

If you want to have a proper paella made from scratch, this is the place to go. We went there last night and ordered fish and sea food paella and was very testy. Paella for two definitely is enough for 3 people. Great service and nice friendly people. Definitely recommend this please.

We had paella and it was quite good! The prawns were a bit overcooked. The service was a bit weird and they were not too responsive. Getting the check after asking it took a long time. The terrace they have looks nice. If you are closeby, it’s a good restaurant but not really a destination.

A Nice restaurant in town with a really extensive menu offering a vast variety of Spanish food and some Italian food. The food itself was okay. However on our visit, they seemed to be a little under staffed, the restaurant was getting busy and we waited quite long to order and for our food as well. Although the staff was friendly overall, we can tell that they were slightly stressed and disorganised on the night. The decor also looks a tad old and needs a revamp.

Amazing food and lovely staff. Catered for my youngest daughter who isn't a meat or fish lover - even on New Year's Eve when technically it was a set menu, which btw was an impressive menu. One of the best New Year's we've enjoyed. The staff were brilliant although they were short staffed we didn't suffer with poor service - it's a great restaurant

We were referred by a friend to La Caña and we immediately understood why.The good service starts already with the easy reservation via WhatsApp, Sergio really replies very quickly. Also at the Restaurant we felt really appreciated and welcome. The friendly staff speaks several languages.At our first night we had a spectacular Paella, so we needed to come back a second time and enjoy other dishes from the menu. Everything we had was delicious!Though the restaurant is popular with tourists it is very authentic Spanish cuisine and definitely not pricy for the ambience and the high quality of the food .

Great honest service... We weren't disappointed with our food either, having searched for the best paella in Gran Canaria.. this IS the spot!! If you just want a chilled service, try around lunch time.. Thanks guys !!So, we had to come back before our trip was over for some more of that Paella.. my wife would have ate there everyday of our holiday if i let her; which is crazy because she doesn't normally try new food. We had the Paella with vegetables this time and i'm now torn between that and the Seafood! The staff are absolutely the best!! We can't wait to get back..

When I'm on holidays I rarely return to the same place, but this restaurant deserved it.One of the best Seafood Paella I've ever had.I also tried grilled prawns which were fabulous, as well as the fish of the day in a marinara sauce.Good wine selection to top the food.It is on the pricey side, but well worth it if you are looking for quality food and excellent service.

This place has super seafood paella, I have been traveling a lot but not tasted anything so nice ever. My friend took lamb shoulder and it was also so tasty, the meat almost fell away from the bones and it was really good, third from us took steak with pepper sauce, the sauce was so good that everyone from us tasted. The taste is wonderful it has a small cent of lemon in it becoming from lemon peppers I think. As a dessert we took chokolade cake and creme brulee, those were also fantastic, the house red wine is nice, it based on tempranillo and syrah... It was for my taste super. I don't even find enough word's to describe this restaurant. The atmosphere is very nice and the service was superb, when we came it was around 5pm so there wasn't a lot of other customer's. Don't know how it's when it gets busy. But don't miss this place if you have a change to go there. This is really five stars + place.

How to find Taberna La Caña

The restaurant is located in the Hotel Green Park in the Avenida de Tenerife, opposite the Águila Roja Shopping Centre. You cannot miss it with their yellow sign and their spacious terrace. The place gets busy around 7pm, and all the tables are usually taken at that time of the evening.
