Sushi in Gran Canaria: prices, opening times and tips
At lunchtime, restaurants fill up between 2 pm and 4 pm; in the evening, many don’t open until 9 pm. In Patalavaca and in the south, opening times are geared towards hotel guests. Lunch guests often pay reduced set-menu prices, whilst prices for other dishes remain reasonable. Card payments are accepted almost everywhere. In the restaurants of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, a basic knowledge of Spanish comes in handy, whilst Catering Sushican SL in Playa del Hombre and SUSHI MOYA in El Pagador mainly cater to local regulars.
Tips for your visit
There are four sushi restaurants clustered together in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. At Amaki Sushi and Zafiro Sushi, waiters serve nigiri made with Atlantic tuna at narrow wooden counters. In Vegueta, around Santa Ana Cathedral, diners can watch the maki being prepared at close quarters. Among the island’s 999 restaurants, a few add a twist from the Canary Islands to Japanese cuisine, serving papas arrugadas alongside a sashimi platter.
SushiTake in Agaete boasts a full five-star rating, whilst a second branch, SushiTake Arucas II, operates in the north. As the island lacks rice fields, the chefs import short-grain rice and season it with their own blend of rice vinegar. Near the harbour of Las Palmas, some of the 113 bars serve edamame and cold sake.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you get by speaking German in restaurants in Gran Canaria?
In Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas, many members of staff understand German, as German-speaking guests form a regular part of the clientele there. Away from the coast and in the mountainous interior of the island, where the Queso de Flor de Guía is produced, Spanish and English are the main languages spoken. With around 999 restaurants, language proficiency varies greatly depending on the location, which is why a basic knowledge of Spanish or English will be helpful outside the tourist areas.
Do you need to book in advance at sushi restaurants in Gran Canaria?
For sushi restaurants in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the tourist hotspots in the south, it’s worth booking at weekends and during the peak season. Small eateries with limited seating fill up quickly, whereas restaurants in shopping centres often accommodate walk-in guests. A same-day telephone enquiry is the most reliable way to check availability.
What vegetarian options do sushi restaurants in Gran Canaria offer?
In Gran Canaria, the menu features maki and nigiri with cucumber, avocado, tofu or pickled radish, along with edamame and miso soup. In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, some restaurants also offer vegan poke bowls and rolls with stir-fried vegetables. The widest selection of meat- and fish-free dishes can be found in the larger restaurants in the tourist centres.
