Old Town Gran Canaria: Come for the Cockroaches, Stay for Qué Leche
Let’s be honest, wandering the Old Town streets of Gran Canaria feels a bit like a live-action survival game, dodging cockroaches with more confidence than most locals. But somehow, right in the middle of it all, Qué Leche appears like a mirage… but one that serves sangria and doesn’t charge for disappointment.
From the moment you walk in, the staff welcomes you like you’ve just returned from war (which, frankly, you have..... roach war). The vibe? Chill, warm, effortlessly cool. The kind of place where you can be picky, gluten-free, vegan, or just plain annoying, and they’ll still smile and bring you something delicious.
The sangria?
Dangerously drinkable. Like, “cancel your plans” good. Fresh, balanced, and clearly crafted by someone who understands your soul needs more than just fruit and wine.....it needs joy.
The food?
Listen, I’ve eaten all over Gran Canaria, but Qué Leche is that restaurant. That safe haven where the food is bold, fresh, beautifully plated, and packed with flavor.
Whether you're vegan, pescatarian, carnivore, or simply hungry with no idea what you're doing, they’ve got you. Even the tamale-leaf mystery dish was divine. I didn’t ask questions, I just ascended.
My belly was happy. My picky family? Obsessed. Honestly, I think they’d trade me in just to keep eating here on a loop.
If you’re in Gran Canaria and not eating at Qué Leche… well, you’re just doing life wrong.
