Restaurante La Cañada

Quiet when we arrived but don't be put off. This place is a proper gem. Whilst places on the main drag had queues outside this restaurant, just up a side street, had only two tables occupied. Glad we gave it a chance. The food and service was better than anything we've experienced this holiday. Garlic prawns were plentiful, hot and tasty. Steaks and pork chops as main courses were exceptional. Friendly service, great wine and, by the time we left, it was really busy. Take a chance, get off the main Avenida and try this great restaurant.

We wanted to escape the touristy main street and found this lovely restaurant. Very good food and service! The steak and tuna were delicious. So were our starters (grilled goats cheese and fish soup). Good value for money too.

This restaurant seemed to have good ratings/reviews but when we arrived it seemed very quiet (to be fair, the PDC resort did seem quite quiet the week we were there). Regardless, we chose a table towards the front and were well looked after. The fried cheese was done slightly different in a crispy filo pastry and the garlic mushrooms were outstanding served on a sizzling skillet. We shared a mixed meat grill which was not only tremendous but an absolute (welcome) challenge to finish.

Fantastic restaurant, ask for paella no problem they have a Spanish chef. Came out 30 minutes later as it had to be made fresh. Was not disappointed, staff extremely friendly mother and son run front of house. Also had cheese cake with ice cream yummy. Highly recommended this restaurant don’t be put off if there is not many people in the restaurant, it actually makes it better. Definitely going back before i leave to go home.

We had a lovely meal here tonight. We got there early so it was fairly quiet, but we were met with a really friendly welcome. Food was excellent for the of us. Our dishes included grilled goats cheese (in light crispy batter with a tasty jam), scallops (cooked with a delicious dressing/seasoning), grilled prawns, mussels (in tomato sauce) and Canadian potatoes. The Tiramisu was the best of the desserts. The sign at the front said it has been open a good few years and you can see why, given the quality of the food and the really welcoming and friendly staff. Overall highly recommended for a visit in Puerto del Carmen.

🌟 An Exceptional Dining Experience at La Cañada – Puerto del Carmen Tonight we dined at La Cañada, and it was truly a night to remember. The customer service was flawless, and each dish surpassed our expectations. It’s clear that the new family-run management pours time, passion, and care into every detail—from the cozy atmosphere to the beautifully presented plates. 🧡 This is more than just a restaurant—it’s a reflection of what happens when things are done with love. La Cañada is without a doubt a hidden gem in Puerto del Carmen. 👏 Huge compliments to the management and the entire team for offering such an authentic and memorable experience.

Visited on July 12, 2025 – We were a group of 14 and had a great experience at Restaurante La Cañada. The staff handled our large group extremely well—service was quick, organized, and friendly. The food was excellent across the board, and everyone left happy. No complaints at all. Would definitely recommend for both small and large groups.

This place has been around years but we only tried it recently and we were not disappointed. It was very quiet (which was exactly what we wanted, it can be difficult to find a peaceful dinner in Puerto). We were surprised how few people were there given how good the food was. Excellent steak and fish. The starters were awesome. Truly a hidden gem.
