As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
Santa Brígida lies at an altitude of 500 metres in the interior of Gran Canaria and specialises in ‚bodega-style‘ cuisine. Anyone looking for the 12 best restaurants in Santa Brígida will find Canarian country cuisine and wines from volcanic soils, rather than tourist traps. The Kaicana in La Atalaya has racked up 110 reviews with a perfect 5.0-star rating – testament to its high standard. At the weekend, day-trippers from Las Palmas fill the tables. The locals themselves choose their restaurants with care, and that is precisely what attracts visitors from the surrounding area.
Bodega cuisine, volcanic wine and Canary Islands tradition
The busiest time is lunchtime between 2 pm and 4 pm; on Sundays, the weekly market brings even more people onto the streets. The ‚menú del día‘ costs between 10 and 14 euros and includes three courses plus house wine, often a Gran Canaria D.O.P. from the Bandama Valley. At the weekend, it’s worth booking a table in advance at the better bodegas. Small eateries such as La Tasquita de Felix in La Atalaya often only accept cash, and the menus are usually in Spanish only.
Tips for your visit
In the hilly inland area north-west of Las Palmas, 32 restaurants characterise the town centre.
