← All restaurants in Valsequillo
As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
Valsequillo de Gran Canaria cooks for the locals, not for coach tours. In this mid-altitude mountain village, Valsequillo’s best restaurants show off what family-run establishments are capable of: generous portions, Canarian cuisine and menus that rarely feature English translations. Bar Ca Fermín has racked up more than 600 reviews and maintains a rating of 4.8 stars. Ca Guillermo and RESTAURANTE CA LORE cater primarily to local guests. When you dine here, you’ll find yourself surrounded by valleys and farmland, not on a seafront promenade.
Mountain cuisine with a Canarian soul
The restaurants in Valsequillo follow the Spanish rhythm. Lunch service starts at 2 pm at the earliest, and the three-course ‚menú del día‘ with a drink costs between 10 and 14 euros. In the evening, things don’t get going until around 9 pm. The menus are usually only available in Spanish, so knowing a few words will come in handy. Booking is rarely necessary, except at weekends. That’s when guests from Las Palmas head up here to escape the city, and the dining rooms at Tasquita El Escondite or Piscolabis la Higuera fill up quickly.
Tips for your visit
Nine restaurants are scattered across the town centre and the surrounding hillsides. Almonds, the local speciality, feature in the menus of several restaurants – sometimes in a sauce, sometimes in a sweet dessert. The four steakhouses specialise in grilled meat, including the Restaurante Las Cañas Grill in Tenteniguada, which attracts guests from neighbouring towns. In the evenings, the air inside the dining rooms remains cooler than on the coast, a result of the town’s moderate altitude.
Two snack bars on the main roads serve quick meals to passers-by. Papas arrugadas feature on almost every menu. Around the time of the festival in honour of St Michael, RESTAURANTE EL MESÓN noticeably fills up. Even when the cherry blossom festival is taking place in the valley, the village’s restaurants become increasingly busy.
