  Canarian cooking in an old courtyard house · €€

  Tables in the old courtyard of a Vegueta house, between bare stone walls, run by a family whose kitchen puts a modern edge on Canarian cooking made with island produce. Order the fish from the Canarian coast or the escabeche of red tuna, then the board of Canarian cheeses, and the airy cheese and mandarin tart to finish. Lunch from 1.30pm to 4.30pm and dinner from 7.30pm to 11.30pm, Wednesday to Saturday, and lunch only on Sunday; closed on Monday and Tuesday. Book for the courtyard on a warm evening.

  Speciality coffee and breakfast · €

  A small speciality-coffee café on Calle Audiencia, by the little Plaza de San Antonio Abad, and the answer on a room-only rate or once the hotel's breakfast has finished at 10.30am. Coffee is the point, with sourdough toast with tomato and Iberian ham, granola with Greek yoghurt, fruit and pistachio cream, and homemade cookies alongside. There are tables outside and a co-working floor upstairs. It opens every day from the morning into the afternoon, and there is no need to book.

  Canarian tasting menus, in the MICHELIN Guide · €€€

  Richard Díaz Aguilar opened this Canarian casa de comidas in January 2023, named after an island folk dance, and it has been in the MICHELIN Guide every year since. He cooks Gran Canaria's own produce and recipes with a modern hand. There are two tasting menus for the whole table, Santa Ana at €63 and Vegueta at €74 including tax, with dishes such as cherne with potato and cider, pork in adobo and frangollo, the Canarian maize and milk pudding, or a carta with half portions. Lunch and dinner from Wednesday to Saturday; book on its website, the only way it takes reservations.

  Bar and terrace cooking with island produce · €€

  A bar-restaurant with a terrace on Calle Pelota, holding a Repsol Solete for cooking that sets Canarian produce against other kitchens. Order the ensaladilla, the Spanish potato salad, with chargrilled octopus and dried tomatoes, and the cachopo, Asturian breaded veal, filled with queso de Flor de Guía, the cheese of the island's north, and black truffle; finish with the almond-blossom dessert and yoghurt ice cream. It serves lunch and dinner every day, and late on Friday and Saturday, which makes it the answer on a Sunday or Monday night.

  The Canary Islands' oldest market · €

  The first organised food market in the Canary Islands, trading in this building opposite the Teatro Pérez Galdós since the late 1850s, with about 100 stalls of island fruit and vegetables, Atlantic fish, meat and artisan cheeses. Its bars serve churros and coffee first thing and island wine and cheese later in the morning, and it is the place to buy cheese to take home. Mornings only, Monday to Saturday, until 2pm, or 2.30pm on Friday and Saturday; closed on Sunday.

  Rooftop cocktail bar with a view of the cathedral · €€

  A cocktail bar on the roof of the Cordial La Peregrina hotel, at the edge of Triana, with a pool, lounge seating and a view of the cathedral of Santa Ana and the library on Plaza de las Ranas. Come for a cocktail, classic or one of the house's own, or a glass of wine; the kitchen sends up sushi, Iberian ham and plates to share. It opens every day at 3.30pm, or 5pm on Thursday, and stays open into the night. It is the livelier roof when the hotel's own feels too quiet.
