Restaurante Qué leche!

Our experience at Qué Leche unfortunately started on the wrong foot. Upon arrival at our reserved time, we were left standing for almost five minutes while one staff member stood with their back toward us, engaged in conversation with a man who appeared to be a supplier. There was no eye contact, no acknowledgment, not even a small gesture to signal “I’ve noticed you and will be with you shortly.” For a restaurant listed in the Michelin Guide, this felt surprisingly unprofessional and set an uncomfortable tone from the very beginning. The situation worsened when we were informed that, despite having a reservation, we would be seated outside. This had not been mentioned at the time of booking. The staff member insisted that the interior was fully booked, even though the weather was windy, rainy, and cold. What made this particularly disappointing was that throughout our entire visit, there were tables inside that remained empty from the moment we arrived until we left. Being told there was no availability indoors while clearly seeing otherwise was frustrating and left us feeling misled. Once we were finally seated, the service did improve noticeably. The staff member became warmer, friendlier, and more attentive, which made the rest of the experience more pleasant, though it couldn’t fully undo the initial impression. As for the food, it was okay but not particularly memorable. The starters were good, but one dish that stood out for the wrong reasons was the octopus. Octopus is already dense and chewy by nature, and combining it with two additional heavy ingredients, topped with cheese, resulted in a dish that felt overly compact and unbalanced. It was something you almost had to swallow with wine or water rather than truly enjoy bite by bite. Overall, Qué Leche has potential, but for a Michelin Guide restaurant, the front-of-house experience and lack of transparency around seating fell well below expectations. While the later service was friendlier and the food acceptable, the inconsistencies made the visit disappointing rather than special.

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.

Located on a quiet street in the old town this restaurant is very good. Their isn’t much choice but the food is very good. The price is commensurate with the quality. The atmosphere is calm and the waiters are very friendly. I recommend it ! If you want to try this restaurant, you should pass a call to reserve your seat in the evening.

I am surprised they don't have a Michelin star yet. Rush before they get it and the price doubles. Every dish was excellent our favorite was oysters. We chose to go a la carta and tried every special they had. Not disappointed. One of the best Pisco Sours I tried outside of Peru or Columbia.

Top 5 ever dining experience we’ve had. Food was absolutely tremendous, service great (although struggling a bit with English), wine was fantastic. To be able to dine for less than 100 EUR for 2 people is mind blowing. Will definitely come back. Reservations required.

We found this place via the Guía Repsol where it got 1 solete. Food was delicious and creative . We shared 5 dishes with 4 people plus a dessert. 3/4 of the dishes are with fish and have a Japanese touch in it . Creative combinations like for example Foie with smoked eel . It was a pleasure dining here and also the 2 bottles of white wine we had (Manda Huevos) were inspiring and tasty .

Certainly one of the best restaurants in Las Palmas and ln the island. Very friendly hosts, great wines from the island and nice atmosphere. The food was just great: innovative and nicely presented. Cudos to the chef! Only the light in the restaurant could be tuned down a bit we thought (but that is personal preference).

The food is fabulous, really top class. A word of warning though - if you book online you are seated outside. I got lucky, they had a window seat spare with bar stools, less lucky was a couple from London, who weren't ready for the news. The meltdown was sweary and unnecessary, but enormously entertaining. I'm happy to give 5 stars but they really ought to make the booking situation clear.

Visit in Feb 2017. Reservation wasn't easy but it was so, so, so SO worth it. Everything was mind-blowingly delicious and beautifully presented, at a price that was totally reasonable. We "WOW"ed and "OMG"ed from beginning to finish. Possibly my favorite restaurant in Spain. The memory of that meal always brings a smile to my face.
